    Sunday morning:

    King C. Gillette Facial Wash
    Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
    Super Speed/Wilkinson Sword day 4
    Scheermonnik Delftse Donderslag SS
    Aloe Vesta Moisturizer
    Proraso Red AS Splash
    Nino Cerruti 1881 EdT

    These Scheermonnik soaps are really nice - this Delftse Donderslag has a beautiful spicy, exotic scent, it’s not tallow based but it lathers great, it’s so slick, and the postshave feeling is so soothing as well as relaxed. The Aloe Vesta moisturizer works great as a balm, and the Proraso Red aftershave stung me a little when I first splashed it on but then it felt wonderful - its scent is a good match for the Delftse Donderslag soap. Finally the 1881 fragrance from Nino Cerruti which my lovely sister-in-law bought me as a gift and I’m ready to enjoy a relaxing Sunday. What an awesome three pass BBS shave this was!

    See you all tomorrow - same time, same station![​IMG]

    Henckels Wedge Blade

    Dickinson's Lemongrass Witch Hazel

    The Old Spice Original Shave Cream lathered well with Jayaruh #1 Silvertip Badger. Two passes and touch ups with the J.A. Henckels Rapide Lather Catcher and a Henckels Wedge Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Dickinson's Lemongrass Witch Hazel. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Maggard V3A on MR7 handle.
    An Indian Astra SP on its 6th shave.

    I typically use a blade 5 times, just wanted to see how long this new version of Astra can last.
    I think a seventh shave would be possible but not as sharp or long lasting.

    Menthol Monday:

    A tremendous Grand Freeze!

    L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Super Speed/Wilkinson Sword day 5
    Stirling Glacial Electric Sheep SS
    Prep ASB
    Floid Vigoroso AS Splash

    My face is so bloody frozen that I think it’ll take all to thaw out - my dear brother Rod’s Glacial Electric Sheep soap did a helluva number on me. I enjoyed everything about it - the beautiful lemony/citronella/eucalyptus scent, it lathered so thick, rich, creamy, super slick as well as protective, the menthol sensation started to pummel my face right away, and the postshave care was so comfortable as well as soothing. Needless to say the Prep provided lots of additional cooling, moisturizing care, and do I ever LOVE the lovely old school barbershop scent of the Floid Vigoroso aftershave as well as its icy cold menthol kick. Another awesome three pass BBS shave that was fit for a king!

    Wishing you all a good week ahead - be well and safe![​IMG]
