Birthday Eve June 18th SOTN

It may not shave me the closest under my jaw (without added pressure), but it does give a pretty carefree quick shave nonetheless. A cool water Hiram / Schick shave ended very well tonight before bed.





Happy Healthy Shaves all.

Greetings,

A new shave set up to start the weekend...Maiden shave using the Chinese made Gillette London Bridge which i have had for while, but have only got round to trying them out....After my week with the Merkur 39c, i will be using the Parker 55SL with all my shaves to put the Chinese Gillette London Bridge blade through its performance paces.

The verdict? Amazingly good! one of the smoothest blades I've used paired together with the Parker 55SL... These blades feel comfortable sharp & smooth...I'm only one shave in granted, but feel as though these are going to become regular favourite in my blade rotation.

A very impressive maiden shave with the Chinese Gillette London Bridge.

A enjoyable close comfortable near BBS shave with no errors to report...Finishing to the shave off with a a few generous squirts of Blue Stratos EdT to the pulse points.

My face is feeling silky smooth & smelling divine.

Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.

 

Much appreciated Gary!!

Excellent shave and a very wish, Josh.

 

Saturday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Jeeves of Hudson Street
Jayaruh #144
Gillette New Standard Tuckaway
Personna Super (58)
Florida Water

The Jeeves of Hudson Street Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #144 Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette New Standard Tuckaway razor with a Personna Super Blade (58) gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Florida Water. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Saturday morning’s Grand Freeze:

Stirling Mentholated Pre Shave Soap
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Astra Green day 6
Bundubeard Cool As A Cucumber X 3 SS
Prep ASB
Osage Rub AS Splash

This morning I wanted to devote this shave to my dear friend Jaco and his great soaps so I could show some love. The Cool As A Cucumber X 3’s glycerine based but it gives tons of tremendous lather that’s so thick, rich, super slick as well as protective, the menthol sensation is killer cold, and the postshave feeling is very good. I noticed that the scent is very pepperminty in a nice way - it overtakes the cucumber notes. The Prep and the Osage Rub aftershave gave me awesome soothing, moisturizing, and plenty of additional menthol goodness. What a delightful shave this was!

Be well and safe!
