Cella After Shave Balm

The Cella Crema Da Barba lathered well with the Jayaruh #424 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the AutoStrop A2 Razor and the Personna GEM SS PTFE blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Cella After Shave Balm. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Thursday morning:

Cool shower
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Junjie/new Wilkinson Sword
Everest SC (white tube)
Everest ASB (blue tube)
Bleu de Chanel AS Splash
Bleu de Chanel Parfum

This Everest cream and balm are from Russia and they were sent to me a LONG time ago by a very dear friend of mine from there. Unfortunately they’re no longer available as far as I know and it’s sad because they’re so nice. The scent is very sporty with aquatic notes, the cream provides fabulous lather with lots of slickness, there’s a bit of a menthol sensation, and it’s so skin friendly. The matching balm is very cooling as well as soothing and really moisturizing. Last but not least the gorgeous Bleu de Chanel fragrance and that’s it, that’s all. What a brilliant three pass BBS shave this was!

Enjoy your day and your shaves - be well and stay safe!

Lady Eversharp vs Hydromagic, left vs right then right vs left side of face

Note the different cap widths and blade exposures



Each has its idiosynchrocies, overall draw I would say, both seem to work fine

 

Great to hear, Joseph.
I finally decided to try a Canadian based soap maker as MacDuff's is made in Edmonton, where my wife and I relocated a few years ago. I can actually go to Sean's house to pick them up which is great and I don't have to pay the high cost of shipping that I usually do when ordering soaps from the US. It's been a very, very pleasant surprise in how good the soap is. I'm glad I gave it a try. It's one of the best soaps that I've tried, so far, and his scents are quite well done.
I, literally, only load my brush for 5-10 seconds and I get more than enough lather for 3 passes. Just be mindful not to overload as it's a fairly soft soap and you don't need very much.
I hope you enjoy it.

Thursday Mistura May 30, 2024

An early, hectic, busy, flat tire day. Didn’t shave until 10:00 this evening. If there was any day in the last four months I needed Gayle, today was certainly in the top two. The upside was 36 hours of whiskers, and my new MdC Rose soap. And my massive haul. See haul thread…

Weber-RRGC.76 w/Minora
Semogue Pegasus Mistura
MdC Rose
TSD Lavender Rose
Fine’s Snake Bite

I’m quite impressed with these Minora blades. Cheap as chips, and they shave me as good as anything else in my den. Two passes for a smooth and beautifully scented Sweet Mama Shave.
