    SOTD MONDAY MORNING, MAY 23, 2022

    This morning’s shave! Grabbed a soap from the unused pile that I remembered liking! Very nice lather, but the scent gives the bride problems. Fortunately, she left for the office! Enjoy your shaves, I sure did! Nothing like breaking out a new bottle of the “Rub” on a hot, sunny day!

    RAZOR: Genco 35 6/8 (Mug), Gillette Big Fellow (Dome)
    BLADE: Feather DE (Dome)
    PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a heavy scrub with Argan Oil
    BRUSH: JR Custom Rosewood Handled Silvertip Badger
    SOAP: Nuavia Blue
    POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by a rinse with Humphreys Lilac WH. Finished with Osage Rub AS Splash.

    Icicles in your face from that great shave, right?

    Your setup was colder than mine!

    Menthol Monday:

    Stirling Mentholated Pre Shave Soap
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Junjie/Wilkinson Sword day 13
    MSC Peppermint Lime SS
    Prep ASB
    MSC Peppermint Lime AS Splash

    Not quite as frigid as yesterday but still colder than cold enough to satisfy my menthol cravings - the scent of this Peppermint Lime soap and aftershave is so beautiful. It’s exactly what the name implies - a blend of peppermint and lime although I must say that the lime dominates the scent but I can still catch the peppermint notes. The soap is tallow based like all of Fernando’s treasures, the lather is so thick, rich, mega slick and protective, the menthol sensation is great, and the skincare is so soothing. The Prep and the Peppermint Lime aftershave completed the job perfectly. Three passes left me so BBS - this shave was so brilliant!

    Have a great week - be well and safe!

    Shave of the Week Starting 5/23/2022

    SCS-Model A razor
    GSB blade
    Shave Revolution brush
    Lord SC
    Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
    Assorted A/S

    Another go around with my Egyptian SC's starting this time with the Lord SC. It's really nice stuff, lathers easily, gives great protection and the scent is mild but pleasant. It also has a nice menthol feel to it, not to much just enough for me. The SCS razor is another lightweight aluminum razor that shaves a lot like a Henson. For me, very nice and my face is happy. Now go enjoy your day folks.

    Hi Friends,

    Here is my Sunday Shave (22.05.2022)

    60F7B255-91A2-47F4-A11E-724E2F52A089.jpeg
    Razor: Feather AS D2 // Blade: Polsilver Super Iridium // Soap: SV 70th Anniversary // Brush: RazorRock 400 // Aftershave: Geo.F.Trumpers Lime Skin Food

    Received the razor the last days. For years and years i had an eye on this wonderful razor, but i ´ve read and heared so many positive as well as „neutral / bad“ reviews due to it´s shave quality. Some said it shaves like a dream and some say that this special angle is different to find so they sold it…

    Everyone should form his own opinion and this what i ´ve done herewith.

    It is a real beauty. It´s hefty and built like a tank. This should be „Japanese precision“ i think. The knurling on the handle is fantastic.

    So i washed my face and softened up the whiskers. I did not do a Wednesday shave last week to have more stubbles to see what the razor is capable of.

    Lathered up this very good smelling soap to a yoghurt like consistency and brought it to the face.

    While the lather softened up the whiskers i put in the blade. In the first shave i thought my reference blade should have the chance to start with this amazing razor.

    Finding the angle was absolutely no problem, because if you are able to shave with the PILS razor, you will have no problems with the Feather. The angle is almost identical.

    If you have problems finding the angel…you SEE where the razor shaved and you can HEAR it due it´s acoustic.

    The first strokes…wow…never used such a mild razor. You cannot feel the blade. You just have the feeling of shaving without a blade. Impressive.

    First pass was done so i felt my skin…what a thoroughly razor this is. Without any efforts, without any problems this beauty shaved the whiskers off.

    Second pass…across the grain…same here. Gentle and thoroughly. After two passes i could have stopped, but i was intrigued how the razor will be against the grain.

    So, third pass. Maaaaan, is this razor smooth against the grain. This is the smoothest razor i ´ve used so far. I thought my Karve, Rockwell 6S, Blackbird or my Mulcuto Schrägschnitt were smooth but now there is a new Sheriff in Town. Awesome!!! Very impressive!!!

    This razor will never be sold or given away. I love this beauty piece of art.

    As Aftershave i ´ve used the Lime Skin Food which pairs nicely with the soap. Skincare is top notch and the consistency is just right.

    I had a blast.

    Have a great start into the new week. Enjoy your shaves, take your time and stay safe and healthy.

    Greetings
    Thorsten

    Cold Water Rinse
    Proraso Green Shave Soap
    Jayaruh #1
    Schick C3 Repeating Razor
    Personna Injector
    CWR
    Osage Rub

    The Proraso Green Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #1 Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Schick C3 Repeating Razor with a Personna Injector Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Osage Rub. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Monday Shave

    Lather: Valobra unscented soap
    Brush: restored Ever-Ready
    Razor: Henson AL13
    Blade: Personna platinum
    After: witch hazel and aloe
    Cold water shave
    :Animatedfrozensmily:

    The star of today's shave is this humble Ever-Ready brush that I just restored. The more common version of this brush is, of course, the cream over red handle. This cream over blue version is much harder to find.

    The shave with the Henson was smooth and very comfortable. A final splash of witch hazel with aloe and glycerin made it perfect. My face feels great!
