SoS: June 2025

Thursday 26th June
Ever Ready NA Featherweight + GEM Stainless #3 + Vig Shaving Synth + OSP 1882 Cream + Electrif's Bay Rum v3 + Aloe Vera Gel

 

Thursday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Nivea Shave Cream
Alpha T-400 Silvertip Badger
Probak Razor
Gillette Silver Blue
CWR
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Nivea After Shave Balm

The Nivea Shave Cream lathered well with Alpha T-400 Silvertip Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Probak DE Razor and the Gillette Silver Blue Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Nivea After Shave Balm. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Yes I do. They all speak English, though!

Thursday morning:

Cool shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/7 AM day 12
Bundubeard Impi SS
Bundubeard Boomslang 1 ASB
Brut Oceans AS Splash

Finally our weather cooled off so the a/c is not needed, at least for now. Today I selected the Impi soap which my dear brother Jaco created a few years ago - this stuff has a very nice coffee/fruity scent, it’s glycerine based but does it ever give AWESOME lather that’s THICK, rich, cushiony and slick, it’s fairly mentholated but by no means potent, and it’s excellent in the skincare department. The Boomslang 1 balm is the lesser of the two Boomslang balms in terms of menthol but it’s still detectably cooling, it’s so soothing as well as super moisturizing, and the Brut Oceans aftershave smells great. Three passes delivered a delightful, easy peasy BBS shave that I enjoyed so much!

Wishing you all a good day - be well and stay safe!

A very good shave. I don't swish this razor in alcohol a few moments like I usually do because alcohol degrades silver plating and other finishes. It's fine for chrome and unfinished stainless steel. Not to let them stay in alcohol, but for a few moments to dispel water and sanitize is alright.

Friday morning:

Quick shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/7 AM day 13
De Vergulde Hand Extra Fris SS
Lubriderm Moisturizer
Sir Canada Ceder AS Splash

Did you guys know that the company which makes the De Vergulde Hand products has been around for well over 450 years? This means that they obviously know what they’re doing. The Extra Fris version is a very nicely scented soap, it lathers superbly, it’s quite slick, and it’s very skin friendly. In the Netherlands where it’s from it’s really CHEAP. The Lubriderm moisturizer gives excellent soothing, and the Canada Ceder aftershave from Germany is unfortunately no longer available - a pity because it smells so nice. Three passes gave me a helluva fine BBS shave that I enjoyed immensely!

Wishing you all a good weekend - be well and stay safe!
