SOTD: 02 Jun 2025 : belated post

Time to try shaving with the shaving cream only, skipping the Pre shave routine apart from hot water soak….

2 Days growth

Hot Water Prep x 3

Cream = Palmolive Shave cream with Coconut extract
The tube is nearing the end so it was time to try and shave with this alone
Brush = Razorock synthetic
Bowl = Face lather
Razor = Eversharp Hydromagic black handle L-1
Blade = Personna PTFE (1)
Passes = 2 and done
Post = Usual CWR, Alum, rinse, pat dry, Thayer’s rose petal, L’Occitane Cedrat ASB
ASL = PR Barbe Dure with Oud
Scent = Burberry Hero

Just a hint of a minor nick left side below lower lip but this quickly disappeared in the lather and failed to resurface again

Lovely smooth shave with the Hydromagic, this is a neat little razor

I do feel that the lather, while excellent, was not as good as when I use it as a Preshave and then lather something else over the top of it. But still a very nice affordable cream to use on its own

 

Tabac Tuesday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Tabac Shave Soap
Jayaruh #220 2-band Badger
Schick L1
Personna Injector
CWR
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Tabac After Shave

The Tabac Shave Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #220 2-band Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Schick L1 Razor and the Personna Injector Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Tabac After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Tuesday morning:

Hot shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/7 AM day 3
Proraso Green SS
Lubriderm Moisturizer
Aqua Velva Ice Blue AS Splash
Christian Dior Fahrenheit EdT

Ever since the Proraso Green soap was reformulated it’s MUCH better - the scent is a bit different in a very nice way. The lather is also better and easier to whip up, the menthol sensation is still good, and the postshave feeling is definitely more comfortable than before. The Lubriderm moisturizer gave me lots of additional soothing, and the Aqua Velva felt so chilly - such a pleasure to use. Finally the lovely Fahrenheit fragrance and now I’m off to synagogue to lead the morning services. What a fabulous three pass BBS shave this was!

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

I didn't know AltInnsbruck was made in Austria, but I suppose I SHOULD have, given the country Innsbruck is in . I wonder which Austrian classic came first, Alt Innsbruck, or Knize 10(latter was produced in 1925).
