Sunday morning:

L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/7 AM day 5
MSC Frosted Bay Rum SS
Prep ASB
Floid Vigoroso AS Splash

Fernando’s Frosted Bay Rum soap has such a gorgeous scent - it’s so spicy, clovey, and sweet, the lather is so thick, rich as well as slick thanks to the tallow formula, there’s plenty of menthol in it, and the skincare is A1. The Prep gave me its own special cooling postshave care, and the Floid Vigoroso aftershave’s delightful old school barbershop scent is a favourite of mine as well as the brisk, invigorating menthol kick. Three passes left me as smooth as silk - what a dynamite shave this was!

Enjoy your Sunday - be well and safe!

The Proraso Sandalwood Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #217 Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the 1902 Kampfe Brothers/Star Lather Catcher with a Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with English Leather AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

This W&B never disappoints

Hi Friends,

Today i had an awesome Shave (20.03.2022)


Razor: King Cobra // Blade: Kai Captain Titan Mild // Soap: Santa Maria Novella // Brush: Nightdiver´s Manufactory // Aftershave: Proraso green

The King Cobra is a loan (the 4th one) of a German member. I am SO thankful that i am able to test this stunning razor. Years ago i had the chance to test the Classic Cobra, which has been a blast too (as far as i remember).

So today i took my new brush (glued the knot by myself, which was fun) out for a spin. What could be a matching soap? Oh wait…green and white…Santa Maria Novella….maaaaan i love this scent.

A few swirls later i had great lather on my skin and the King Cobra should show what he is made for. Carefully i made the first strokes, knowing that this huge fella can bite you if you do not show the needed respect. This thing shaves outstanding. With absolutely no pressure (just as gliding a Feather over your face) the first pass was done.

I smiled from ear to ear…second pass…this Razor is not that aggressive as i had it in my mind, but nevertheless i was careful. After the second pass i could have stopped (with just minor touch ups), but if you have a razor like this, you WILL use it as long as you possible can.

A third pass was done and after that i thought: Can a Baby´s butt be smoother than my face right now? I don ´t think so.

Splashing on the Proraso Afterhave i thought it would burn like hell, but i was highly surprised. I ´ve had 2 or 3 blood spots due to uneven skin but these spots were the only ones where it burnt just for a second. All other parts: NOTHING!!!

I had a blast again. Absolutely great shave.

Have a great time, enjoy your shaves and stay safe and healthy.

Greetings
Thorsten
