SoS: March 27, 2017 - April 2, 2017

Wow, April is approaching and hopefully some warmer, better weather. Here's my kick-off for the new week!

Menthol Monday:

Gatsby Ice Cooling Gel Facial Wash
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/new Astra
Stirling Glacial Spearmint S/S
Stirling Glacial Spearmint A/S Balm
Fine Snake Bite A/S Splash
Givenchy Gentleman EdT

This facial wash, soap, balm, and aftershave splash are more than cold - they're icebergs and I LOVE them!

 

Monday's March SE Madness Shave


Dove Men Face Wash
TSD Lime
Jayaruh #18
Bunny V3
Ted Pella Injector
CWR, Asma Alum Block
Thayer's Lemon WH
Florida Water

The TSD Lime Shaving Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #18 silvertip badger brush. I did two passes the Gem Push-Button and CVS SE blade, and I ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse and alum block, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Florida Water. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

That's a soap which is missing in my collection - the Sharp Dressed Man!

 

I'm liking that brush.

 

Just a comment on your plan for tomorrow, Jeff...That Marshlands A.S. I just received yesterday(L&L Grooming)...my initial reaction(from a first sniff)is the coolness factor is like Skin Bracer on steroids!!

 

Well, what do you expect. Jeff is one cool guy.

 

That the gentleman is all right.

 

Same shave for me tomorrow as today, with the exception of Dial 4 Men Bodywash("Ultimate Clean")in shower, to prep.

 

Me too!

 

Monday's Planned Shave




The soap that is in the mug is Van der Hagen
My Razor is a 2015 Gillette Fusion Flexball Proglide Silvertouch
My Brush is my "Oscar 11" Custom 24/48mm TGN Super Finest Black & White Resin Handle ** {This is my Favorite Travel Brush & Most Cherished}
I haven't shaved for a few days I did shave on Friday before I went to an appointment, so it shouldn't be too bad,

​

 

Nice looking brush!

Ever Ready 1924 & S/S handle
Gem S/S [ 3 ] + 1/2 spine shim
Alum Rub/Rinse off
Williams Aqua Velva A/S Lotion

In a rush this morning as Central Heating Engineers due to arrive, well the old boiler did us proud for 35 years, Had a very surprising quick Shave, the 1924 was incredibly smooth and easy to use no doubt due to the fact that I had used a 1/2 spine shim to calm it down. This is probably not everybody's choice, but it works for me, as not only was the shave smooth but the finish was good too.
