  3. I felt terrible because it gave me very good lather with a mild, but pleasant scent. I gave it to one of my ex employees and he said it worked perfectly for him. Strangely enough there’s Kent soap which is apparently the same as MWF and I have a puck of it - believe it or not it performs just as well and it doesn’t burn or irritate my skin at all. Go figure!

  4. My Mega Grand Freeze for Friday:

    Stirling Mentholated Pre Shave Soap
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Junjie/Wilkinson Sword day 5
    MSC Citrus Melody Extreme SS
    Prep ASB
    MSC Citrus Melody AS Splash
    Pe Re Ja Lemon Cologne

    Fernando’s soaps are something else - wowwwwww!! This Citrus Melody Extreme soap is tallow based with the same beautiful citrusy scent as the regular version, great lather that’s so rich, slick, and protective, the menthol sensation is insane - in fact it beats, yes it beats all the Stirling Glacials and the Chiseled Face Cryogen, and the skincare is fantastic. After a nice massage with the Prep and a couple of splashes of the Citrus Melody aftershave which smells so gorgeous and feels so frigid I was good to go. What a magnificent shave!

    Enjoy your weekend and your shaves - be well and safe!

    Friday the Thirteenth's Shave
    zcws.jpg

    Cold Water Rinse
    Mitchell's Wool Fat Shave Soap
    Jayaruh #432
    Ming Shi Adjustable
    Gillette Silver Blue
    CWR
    Lilac Vegetal AS

    The Mitchell's Wool Fat Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #432 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Ming Shi Adjustable Razor with a Gillette Silver Blue Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Lilac Vegetal AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

  7. Friday Shave

    Lather: Valobra unscented soap
    Brush: Doug Korn "Blue Steel"
    Razor: Henson AL13
    Blade: Gillette Silver Blue
    After: witch hazel and aloe

    I haven't used the Valobra soap in a very long time. I was fond of the Art of Shaving unscented tallow soap, which was reformulated and seemed to become even more over priced. I understand that the old soap was actually produced by the Italian company Valobra, and when I saw Valobra unscented on sale from a vendor in the UK, I took a chance and got one. It is indeed the original AOS formula. It made an excellent lather.
