The razor is great since it's super lightweight and the angle finds itself perfectly. But even though I stropped the crap out of the blade, there's only so much you can do when it doesn't seem like it was the sharpest to begin with. But it was a serviceable shave. I need to do that modern blade adaptation.

Early morning shave,

The Tabac Shave Soap lathered well with Semogue SOC Boar Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Rolls Traveler and a 1953 Rolls 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: (close to being a Grand Freeze!)

L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Wilkinson Sword day 6
MSC Cherry Freeze SS
Prep ASB
Aqua Velva Ice Blue AS Splash

This Cherry Freeze soap from Master Soap Creations in Johannesburg, South Africa is very similar to Glacial Black Cherry in terms of scent, lather, and skincare. My dear brother Fernando is a Grand Master of shaving soaps and aftershaves - I’m so proud of him. This soap is tallow based, the lather works up so easily - it becomes so thick, rich, cushiony, slick, as well as protective, there’s plenty of menthol in it, and it’s so skin friendly. The Prep gave me its own special postshave soothing with a nice menthol coolness, and the Aqua Velva aftershave went on icy cold - do I ever LOVE its old school scent. Three passes gave me such an awesome, enjoyable BBS shave!

Have a good day - be well and stay safe!
