The Proraso Green Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #446 Boar/Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Frankenskeene Razor and the Ever-Ready Radio Steel blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Mennen Skin Bracer After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Menthol Monday:

A lulu of a Grand Freeze this morning!

L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Junjie/Wilkinson Sword day 12
Stirling Glacial Obsidian SS
Bundubeard Stoffel ASB
Floid Vigoroso AS Splash

My wife walked by my bathroom (she has hers and I have mine!) and she said she could smell the Glacial Obsidian soap when I was lathering up and shaving - man oh man do I ever LOVE its black licorice scent, it lathers like a beast, the menthol sensation is killer cold, and it has the typical fantastic Stirling skincare. The Stoffel balm from Bundubeard is another menthol atom bomb with a lovely peppermint scent and it’s so soothing as well as extremely moisturizing. Finally a couple of generous splashes of the Floid Vigoroso aftershave and my wife said that I smelled like an old barber - that’s how I love to smell. (she’s so cute!)Three glorious passes gave me a super duper BBS shave that was so frigid and delightful!

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

Shave of the Week Starting 5/13/2024

Schone razor
Astra SP blade
AP Shave Co brush
Williams SS (vintage)
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
Various A/S

Very pleasant shave to start the week with. I haven't used the Schone razor in literally years but glad I picked it up today. Just the right amount of heft to it along with a close comfortable feel. My face is happy. Now go enjoy your day folks

 

You were a big Obsidian fan when I first joined. Still are, I see.

 

ASRazor shave, Micromatic Monday, May13th 2024.

Razor : Star bar #4 lather catcher, Mfg 1919-20, tame mid range. This little razor with a fresh blade can not be beaten in my collection of many razors most days when used. It just works well for my beard type and was designed by a Star brand who invented in mass the safety razor in the 1880's way ahead of any other brand in the world in new shaving technology that even existed.
For a razor that was stamped and shaped to my perfection it just works well. Had a comfortable close stellar close shave this morning.
Blade : Gem Personna SS PTFE(1).Very sharp, great longevity, smooths out nicely, predictable + safest blade to use.
Soap : Razorock Irish Countryside, very nice unique scent(Creed Irish green) + excellent lather qualities.
Brush : Yaqi "Lucky dice" 26mm brown whiskers synthetic knot. Excellent lather generator, luxury heavenly cloud like soft tips, nice splay scrubber + excellent lather painter. One of my favorites in my brush collection (26mm synthetic brushes are excellent!).
Pre shave : (Dedicated Cashmere synthetic)Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser with a dollop of clear Aloe Vera on the cleaned beard area.
Prep : Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
Post shave : Razorock Countryside splash with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results : or CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers= Had a close comfortable stellar shave this morning with my Star bar #4 with a fresh coated Gem blade.

Have some great shaves!
