Thayers Superhazel pads? I had to look these up. I've never heard of them. I'm a daily Thayers Witch Hazel user...so, do you think these are fundamentally different in performance than the standard Witch Hazel?

Greetings,

Later than normal morning shave,

It's been a while since I last used the Lea Classic cream and forgot how much of i like the light fresh sandalwood scent with a nice mild menthol kick feels cooling which is perfect for the warmer months of the year.

A comfortable 2 pass + pick ups silky smooth shave with no errors to report. Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Boots Cucumber Moisturising Lotion.

My face is feeling cool smooth & smelling divine.

Thursday morning:

King C. Gillette Facial Wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Rapira day 4
Scheermonnik Soek SS
Proraso Blue ASB
Murray & Lanman Florida Water AS Splash

This Scheermonnik company is from the Netherlands and they produce some fabulous soaps and this Soek (pronounced Sook) is one of them. I love the spicy, exotic scent, it lathers so easily - it gets so thick, rich, creamy, cushiony, and protective with lots of slickness, and it’s so skin friendly. The Proraso Blue balm’s scent is mild yet pleasant and it soothes my skin so well. Finally a couple of splashes of the Florida Water aftershave and I’m good to go. Another brilliant three pass BBS shave that I enjoyed so much!

Have a great day - be well and stay safe!

Thursday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Mitchell's Wool Fat Shaving Soap
Jayaruh #426 Synthetic
Parker Variant
Gillette Silver Blue
CWR
Lucky Tiger After Shave

The Mitchell's Wool Fat Shaving Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #426 Synthetic brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Parker Variant Razor and a Gillette Silver Blue Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Lucky Tiger After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
