Tuesday morning’s Grand Freeze:

L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Wilkinson Sword day 13
MSC Frosted Spearmint SS
Prep ASB
MSC Frosted Spearmint AS Spray

Although this Frosted Spearmint soap is not as frigid as the Stirling Glacial Spearmint it’s still PLENTY cold, believe me. It’s tallow based with the same beautiful spearmint scent as the Stirling version, the same awesome lather, and the same perfect skincare. The Prep provided such a soothing, cooling, and moisturizing feeling, while the Frosted Spearmint aftershave froze my face to smithereens - the scent is breathtakingly beautiful as well. Three passes cleaned me up fantastically - another perfect BBS shave that was so much fun!

See y’all tomorrow - be well and stay safe!

DE SOTD, Tuesday, March 19, 2024

Razor : Yaqi SLOPE slant 316 SS torsional type with a coated chrome matte Yaqi brass handle- Mfg 2023>, mild to tame mid range depending on blades used, Yaqi uses a sloped safety bar to keep a similar blade gap under torsion to Mfg a unique torsional slant that is very rare to find IMO. Had a comfortable close shave this morning.
Blade : Gillette 7oClock Super Stainless(2) sharp and smoooth with reasonable longevity.
Soap : Razorock XXX regular, nice unique clean cologne scented with excellent lather qualities.
Brush : Yaqi " Red Zebra" 26mm snow leopard synthetic knot. Excellent lather generator, luxury heavenly cloud like soft tips, gentle scrubber + excellent lather painter. One of my favorites & got me more interested in 26mm synthetics years ago.
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 XXX splash with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results : or CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers= Had a close comfortable shave this morning with my Yaqi SLOPE slant with a Gillette 7oClock Super stainless blade.


Have some great shaves!

Super Speed/Wilkinson Sword day 14
Captain Nemo Shepherd SS
Aloe Vesta Moisturizer
English Leather Classic AS Splash

It’s a miracle that this Wilkinson blade lasted for two passes let alone three because it was really at the end of the road. My dear brother Abir’s Shepherd soap smells so nice, it’s vegan based because it’s forbidden to use tallow in India from what I understand, it lathers beautifully, and it’s so gentle on my sensitive skin. The Aloe Vesta moisturizer gave me great soothing, and do I ever LOVE the old school scent of the English Leather aftershave. Another terrific BBS shave but it was a bit of a struggle.

Enjoy your day and your shaves - be well and stay safe!
