Wednesday morning’s Grand Freeze:

L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Astra Green day 14
MSC Frosted Lavender SS
Thayer’s Lavender Witch Hazel
Bundubeard Stoffel ASB
MSC Frosted Lavender AS Splash
Bleu de Chanel Deodorant Stick
Bleu de Chanel Parfum

Oh my Lord am I ever FROZEN STIFF after this intense menthol bombardment - my dear brother Fernando makes such MAGNIFICENT soaps and aftershaves - let me tell you that his Frosted Lavender is the most gorgeous lavender scent I ever experienced. The soap is tallow based, the lather is absolutely awesome, there’s so much slickness to it, the menthol sensation is killer cold exactly like any of the Stirling Glacials, and the postshave feeling is so relaxed as well as soothed. The Thayer’s Lavender witch hazel hardly has any scent but it also soothes very well, and the Frosted Lavender aftershave is also witch hazel based so it never stings or burns, and the menthol kick it gives is off the friggin charts. Last but not least the magnificent Bleu de Chanel fragrance topped it all off. This Astra Green blade is now retired after two weeks of faithful service - it gave me one last hoorah with a beautiful three pass BBS shave that I enjoyed immensely!

Have a great day - be well and stay safe!

Hi Friends,

Here my Shave of the Day (06.03.2024)


Razor: Mühle Rocca Birch // Blade: ASCO // Soap: B&M Nocturne // Brush: Shavemac Lotus G5C // Aftershave: Pinaud Clubman

I had a great shave again. The Rocca is truly a fantastic razor. Smooth, gentle and very toroughly.

The blade was a good choice but for me there are better blades out there. No problems to get BBS in 2,5 passes so…not that bad.

I love the scent of the soap. So warm and comfy. Generating lather was absolutely no problem. The knot of the brush is amazing. It needs a few shaves to be „broken in“ but than…maaaaaan…holds water and heat, the tips are very soft and velvety smooth with just the right amount of backbone to lather everything what you throw at it. Nice job.

To close out the shave i used Pinaud Clubman with it´s fantastic oldschool scent. Love it.

A 9 out of 10

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

Greetings
Thorsten

The Williams Mug Shaving Soap lathered well with SlimGem 3D Printed Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Astra 501 Safety Razor and a Wilkinson Sword Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Lustray Spice After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
