Friday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Col. Conk Amber Shave Soap
Jayaruh #465 Synthetic
Gem Damaskeene
Personna Gem Stainless PTFE
CWR
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Lustray's Spice After Shave

The Col. Conk Amber Shave Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #465 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gem Damaskeene razor and the Personna Gem Stainless PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Lustray's Spice After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Preshave: Hot shower
Soap/Shave cream: Stirling Soap Evergreen Forest
Brush: Maggard 24mm
Razor: Rockwell 6C

Friday morning’s Atomic Grand Freeze:

Long hot shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Wilkinson day 4
Stirling Glacial Cedar SS
Bundubeard Stoffel ASB
Stirling Glacial Cedar AS Splash
Bleu de Chanel Parfum

Not only am I still frozen stiff from this shave I also smell AWESOME. The Glacial Cedar soap and aftershave are two menthol atom bombs with a most delightful scent - the soap lathers like there’s no tomorrow and the postshave care is superb. The Stoffel balm’s so moisturizing and soothing not to mention how frigid it is, and the Glacial Cedar aftershave went on icy cold. Finally the magnificent Bleu de Chanel fragrance and that’s it that’s all. Three swift passes gave me a brilliant BBS shave that I enjoyed to the max!

Wishing you all a nice weekend - be well and stay safe!

(Face & Head Shave)

Greetings,

A new eclectic shave set up to start the weekend... Last weekend I had a wonderful shave using the HWF Lanolin shaving soap, this week Starting off with MWF. I absolutely love this shaving soap once I've mentioned in many of my posts once I stopped trying to figured out how to get the best from it.... "Being on a over zealous quest to achieve perfection from any shaving soap or any shaving item as a matter of fact is pointless IMHO".. I have realised you just loaded it up with a damp brush, add water to the tips of the brush in between each pass and hey presto it creates an acceptable slick lather. Some shaving soaps and creams, work better than others, but all create an acceptable lather with a little patience & effort.

What is important is a shaving soap provides slickness glide, protection and a good post shave feel, MWF does all this and more from it's lanolin goodness.

I like the mild lavender/spicy scent of MWF which isn't an "overpowering in your face scent" like some other shaving soaps have. On a personal note a shaving soap fragrance isn't that important to me as once I've rinsed my face with water the fragrance has virtually disappeared...

Another close comfortable face & head shave with no errors to report.

Finishing to the shave off with a few small squirts of Rapport original EdT spray to the pulse points.

My face & precious swede are feeling smooth and smelling divine.

Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.

Saturday morning:

King C. Gillette Facial Wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Wilkinson day 5
Brick SS
Lubriderm Moisturizer
English Leather Classic AS Splash

This Brick soap is a house brand of a Dutch barbershop and it’s awesome stuff. It has a lovely scent which is old school, yet also modern, it lathers fantastically if you use it as a stick by rubbing it on your face and neck for around 30 seconds, there’s plenty of slickness, it’s excellent in the skincare department. The Lubriderm moisturizer is so soothing, and the English Leather aftershave smells so old school as well as classy - do I ever love it. Three swift passes gave me a most enjoyable and delightful BBS shave!

Wishing you all a great day - be well and stay safe!
