    Great razor! I have it in the black. Not the cannon barrel, but the smooth handle.

    I agree regarding the razor. I have the original General in black aluminum, this Stainless Steel, and this Brass. The handle is the 32-pounder from Blackship Grooming as I missed out on the Colonial Razors Artillery piece handle.

    I never tried Bill Neumann’s version of Absolute Zero so I can’t comment on it. I heard that it gives a menthol sensation but I don’t know how much. This version that I have would be unusable for most guys I know - that’s how powerful it is. I really enjoy it a lot.

    Tuesday morning - a great Grand Freeze:

    Hot shower
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Goodfella/Wilkinson day 9
    MSC Frosted Bay Rum SS
    Prep ASB
    MSC Frosted Bay Rum AS Splash
    Aramis EdT

    Mama mia am I ever frozen - ok, not like yesterday but still frozen. My dear brother Fernando whipped up two precious treasures - his Frosted Bay Rum soap and aftershave have the most BEAUTIFUL bay rum scent I ever had - the soap is a tallow based work of art with such great lather, it gives a whopper of a menthol sensation, and the postshave feeling is so soothing as well as comfortable. The Prep balm is unbeatable for skincare, and the Frosted Bay Rum aftershave is so frigid - not only that, its delightful scent has great staying power and it pairs so well with the Aramis fragrance which I love. Another tip top three pass BBS shave that I enjoyed immensely!

    Wishing you all a good day - be well and stay safe![​IMG]

    Tabac Tuesday's Cold Water Shave


    Cold Water Rinse
    Tabac Shave Soap
    Jayaruh #462
    Ming Shi Adjustable
    Gillette Silver Blue Blade
    Humphrey's Witch Hazel
    Tabac After Shave

    The Tabac Shave Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #462 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Ming Shi Adjustable razor on 3 and the Gillette Silver Blue Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Tabac After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    For today, I repeated from Monday, HOWEVER

    brush-BOAR-"The Almond Brush"*

    About the same result as yesterday, with one big difference-I did what I set out to do pertaining my lackadaisical work at jawline/Cactus Nation....killed off the hairs :). Nothing "lackadoo" today. The boar brush filled up quickly. Someone here said, in effect, "Give boars time-they'll come around". This Almond Brush did just that this morning. 2 healthy passes. No damage. Another healthy dose of Agadir A.S to finish. AgadirMen, you can get bodywash and shampoo. I have in the past. Will do so again. As for the shave-As Outstanding As It Gets.

    2 Days growth
    Cream/Soap = MWF + Stirling Bergamot and Lavendar super lather
    Face lathering
    Razor = Pearl Flexi OC 139.9 grams set at number 2
    Fresh Permasharp
    Usual CWR, Alum, rinse, pat dry, Thayer’s rose petal, L’Occitane Cedrat
    Alum provided lots of feedback

    Another day with the heavy Pearl Flexi, this time set on 2
    A technique-focused shave with a fresh blade
    With the right angle there was good audio feedback of the blade cutting
    Very happy with the razor: not sure I will ever need more than setting 2.....
