Have a great day!​

 

Hello
On my first french shaving forum, "le coupe-chou club" or CCC, we welcomed last month à new member who is blind.
I accepted the challenge to coach him in à couple of days.
Then I thought "how to speak about sensations I don't know ? "

So I challenged myself to shave without beeing able to see

This is the second shave I did, the first one was ... a bit bloody

 

Thursday

Prep: Warm Shower-Stirling Gentleman
Soap: Reef Point Submariner
Razor: Vintage Gillette NEW Short Comb
Blade: Gillette “7 O’Clock Blue” Super Platinum (15)
Brush: John’s Brushes Silvertip-22mmx48mm
Aftershave: Reef Point Submariner

WTG-XTG-ATG (adjusted angles for my beard)

Reef Point Submariner today. 20 seconds to load the John’s Brushes Silvertip brush. Easy, thick, slick, lather. Gillette 7-O’Clock Blue SP still in the Gillette NEW SC. Excellent smooth, close, shave. I finished with Reef Point Submariner aftershave.

Tabac Thursday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Tabac
Jayaruh #360 Synthetic
TNNSER
Gem Blue Star CS
CWR
Tabac AS

My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Tabac Shave Soap face lathered well with Jayaruh #360 Synthetic brush. I did two passes with the TNNSER razor with a Gem Blue Star CS SE blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Tabac AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Ganz tolle Rasur mein Freund!

Aramis riecht so schön - nach meiner Rasur benutzte ich es!

 

Noble idea. I am always up for a challenge, but not with a straight razor. I would do it all day long, with a DE razor.

Hey boys and girls,

Here’s my Thursday morning SOTD:

Hot shower
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Wilkinson Long Handle/new 7AM
OSP Grapefruit Menthol SS
Lucky Tiger ASB
Alcolado Glacial Menthol Splash
Aramis EdT

This was a great shave in two easy passes but I’ll be watching how this 7 AM performs because the previous ones were relatively poor longevity wise. The Grapefruit Menthol soap from OSP should have been named Orange something or other because although it’s a very nice scent, there’s much more of an orange scent than a grapefruit one, at least to my nose. The lather it gave me was so rich, thick, and dense, the menthol effect was very strong, and the postshave feeling was so comfortable. The Lucky Tiger balm felt so cooling as well as moisturizing, and the Alcolado Glacial splash gave me a terrific icy cold blast. The wife loves the Aramis on me - and so do I. BBS as BBS could be!

 

SOTD:
A beautiful shave this morning using the aristocrat and the South African Reitzer, definitely one of my all time favourite soaps. This stuff lathers like an absolute bomb and is so well priced and has such great performance that I'd go as far as to call it the South African Arko!

Today's shave was shave number 30 on the feather hi-stainless, an absolute milestone for me. Previously my most shaves out of a blade was 15, and this was achieved with a gillette 7 o clock sharp edge.

Even on shave 30 there was little to no tugging, although buffing is required and touch ups after the third pass.

Overall a great shave, which i ended off with Dave's fantastic menthol aftershave!

Razor: gillette aristocrat barber-pole handle 1948
Blade: feather hi-stainless (30)
Soap: reitzers perfect shave
Brush: dischem synthetic
Aftershave Balm: aquaeous cream
Aftershave: Dave's menthol aftershave.

Danke dir! Mein Vater hat Aramis oft benutzt, so es hat eine gute Erinnerung für mich.

 

Seit etwa rund 30 Jahre benutze ich es. Für mich ist es einer meiner Lieblingsdüfte.

 

Marvelous shave my boy!

 

Thanks Uncle Jeff!

Und ich...seit über 40 Jahren. Um Gottes Willen, bin ich alt!

 

Lol Doch, doch vielleicht bin ich älter!

 

Day 2 Le Coq solid bar. After the Derby yesterday I stepped up sharpness a bit with Gillette Wilkinson. Another flawless, bloodless shave. I love this thing. More efficient than the Barbasol Floating Head, way smoother than the Ikon Tech. I'm giddy.

This is my 3rd floating head and I’ve had several of the knock offs, but this is the first time I’ve gotten an awesome shave let alone a decent one from these razors. hot damn I’ve been missing out. The soap is good, and I like the scent but regardless of brush the lather tends to be airy. I’m thinking the soap takes more water than I’m use to using.
