    Sunday morning:

    Hot shower
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Canadian Tech/Rapira day 5
    Bundubeard Rooi Afrikaner SS
    Proraso Blue ASB
    Hega AS Splash
    Bleu de Chanel Deodorant Stick
    Bleu de Chanel Parfum

    This Rooi Afrikaner soap from Bundubeard in Pretoria, South Africa is fantastic - it’s tallow based, it has such a lovely soapy/herbal scent, it lathers beautifully, and it’s so skin friendly. The Proraso Blue balm is very soothing as well as moisturizing, and the Hega aftershave from Sweden has a nice neutral scent that doesn’t disrupt the gorgeous fragrance of the Bleu de Chanel - not only that, it’s feels quite cooling. Three passes gave me a brilliant BBS shave that I enjoyed immensely!

    Wishing y’all a good Sunday - be well and stay safe![​IMG]

    Lather Catcher Sunday's Cold Water Shave

    Cold Water Rinse
    Mitchell's Wool Fat Shave Soap
    Jayaruh #436 2-band Badger
    1902 Kampfe Brothers/Star LC
    Star Wedge
    CWR
    Dickinson's Witch Hazel
    Pinaud Clubman After Shave

    The Mitchell's Wool Fat Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #436 2-band Badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the 1902 Kampfe Brothers/Star Lather Catcher and a Star Wedge Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Dickinson's Witch Hazel and Pinaud Clubman After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Sunday Schick shave, March 5th 2023

    Razor : Schick Golden 500 injector model with the hydro- magic feature- Mfg1957-64, mild range, very attractive injector & possibly uni-sex with the total length of 5 3/8 inches. Well built with the hydro-magic feature makes for good cleaning after done shaving. Very enjoyable shave this morning going back in time. My birthday razor year falls in there also when Mfg(1959).
    Blade : Personna SS PTFE injector(5) Sharp and smooths out nicely, this razor has not been used for months and the blade is still working well, that is the nice thing about Personna blades they do not degrade quickly IMO.
    Soap : Razorock The Dead Sea croap- very enjoyable unique scent (hard to explain) with excellent lather qualities.[​IMG]
    Brush : Yaqi "mountain lake" 24mm 2band badger, excellent lather generator, pillow like soft tips, very nice splay scrubber + great lather painter. Handle feels great in the hand and excellent brush in a lot aspects that make a great brush IMO.
    Pre shave : (Dedicated Cashmere synthetic)Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser with a dollop of clear Aloe Vera on the cleaned beard area.
    Prep : Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
    Post shave : Razorock "The Dead Sea"[​IMG] with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
    Results :CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers=[​IMG] excellent shave with my Schick Golden 500 hydro- magic with a coated Personna blade.

    With Central Texas Soaps gone and The Soap Exchange having risen its prices, my "Texas" competition now is Hub City Soaps vs. Noble Otter(I have yet to try the latter). Hub City is nice-I have :WTX"(West Texas) and am planning to order another.

    Sunday Shave

    Lather: Southern Witchcrafts Incorporeal soap
    Brush: Rubberset
    Razor: Henson AL13 V2 +
    Blade: Wizamet Super Iridium
    Post: Southern Witchcrafts Incorporeal splash

    Excellent thick lather from the Southern Witchcrafts soap, as always. Had a decent shave, but I think I should retire the Wizamet blade since it is not feeling so smooth anymore.
