    Sunday Schick Shave, June 13th 2021

    Razor: Schick injector J1 type, Mfg 1957-64, tame mid range, long handle, enjoyable razor, more a carefree shave this morning.
    Blade: Personna injector SS PTFE (4) excellent blade, sharp & smooth with excellent longevity, smooths out nicely.
    Soap: Proraso green , mentholated eucalyptus croap mid range scent with great lather qualities.
    Brush: Yaqi 24mm tuxedo knot with black marble handle [​IMG] - excellent lather generator, cloud like soft tips, nice scrub + excellent lather painter. This synthetic brush is a perfect for lathering in luxury and must have the perfect loft height because my other 2 tuxedo knots do not feel exactly the same great feel!
    Pre shave: Brush wash whole face CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on the cleaned beard area.
    Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
    Post shave: Proraso green lotion with witch hazel + a dollop of Nivea balm.
    Results: CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers = [​IMG]excellent shave with my Schick J1 injector + a Personna coated blade.

    Geoffrey Beene - Grey Flannel aftershave and cologne
    A&E SkinFood.


    This classic aftershave scent of Grey Flannel invoked some ‘you smell NICE’ comments. Which I suppose is better than the ‘what’s that smell’ comments I get from time to time. lol
    The after shave, when combined with the skin food, brought up the level of post shave, to make it competitive with more modern splashes.
    The number 9 setting on this razor is super efficient while remaining a very smooth shave. I did make the mistake of stopping mid pass at one point which caused a weeper but it was easily dealt with by using a bit of alum.
    Over all just a terrific shave here.

    Cold Water Rinse
    Kiss My Face Shave Cream
    Jayaruh #144
    Razorock Black Hawk
    Feather Professional AC
    Osage Rub

    The Kiss My Face Shave Cream lathered well with the Jayaruh #144 Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Razorock Black Hawk razor with a Feather Professional AC Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Osage Rub. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Menthol Monday:

    A true Grand Freeze!

    Stirling Mentholated Pre Shave Soap
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Super Speed/new Astra Green
    Master Soap Creations Frosted Lavender SS
    Prep ASB
    Fine Snake Bite AS Splash
    Bleu de Chanel Deodorant Stick
    Bleu de Chanel EdP

    Every time I use Fernando’s wonderful soaps I think of the Stirling ones because they’re so similar in almost every way. The Frosted Lavender has a magnificent scent, the tallow formula makes the lather so slick, rich, and thick, the menthol sensation really jumps on you - it’s easily comparable to any of the Stirling Glacials, and the postshave feeling is perfect. The Prep provided me with such soothing, moisturizing skincare, and the Snake Bite aftershave froze me big time. The new Astra Green blade helped me get BBS in three glorious, easy passes. What more can I ask!

    Have a great week - stay healthy and safe!

    Yesterday was so good, only change made was swapping aluminium Ascension plate for the SS version. Same twin blade setup (Kai+Treet). Superb! [​IMG]
