Standard 2013 SB Razor
Treet Platinum Blade (1)
RazoRock Plissoft Brush 24/57

Stirling Citron Shave Soap

This blade and razor paired excellently for me. No nicks, weepers, or razor-burn.

Nice shave my Lantzman! Aqua Velva is a classic and is something that I will purchase at some point!

 

The Friday shave.

 

And it turned out that I DID make some changes to today's lineup-here it was:

prep-Nivea 4 Men Bodywash(in shower)
lather-Regiment(Top Gun)
brush-Stoylin "lil brudder"
razor-Gillette Sensor Deuce Pivot DisposeABLE
A.S.-Clubman Gent's Gin

Well shux, I forget the name of the lather I used(I'm in the library). @wristwatchb sent it to me-thanks buddeh . It is very good. Clean, clear shave. 2 passes. I'll try to have the name for you tomorrow. And just now I remember it(I listed it). My memory's beginning to play tricks on me, I'm afraid :-(. Was nice to get the warm-weather A.S. lineup going. Very Outstanding.

 

Sorrry, likers....I did a change(read above). I stuck with the Stoylin brush, though.

 

It is a classic indeed, but be careful of the pour spout. Too much comes out FAST.

Saturday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Old Spice Original Shave Cream
Jayaruh #446 Boar/Badger Mix
Ming Shi Adjustable
Gillette Silver Blue Blade
CWR
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Aqua Velva 5 in 1 ASB

The Old Spice Original Shave Cream lathered well with Jayaruh #446 Boar/Badger Mix Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Ming Shi Adjustable Razor and the Gillette Silver Blue Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Aqua Velva 5 in 1 After Shave Balm. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Saturday morning:

Hot shower
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/7 AM day 14
Tabac SS
Lubriderm Moisturizer
Tabac AS Splash
Tabac Cologne

Ever since I received this Tabac bowl as well as a brand new stick I’m so happy because I don’t have to ration this wonderful soap anymore. I had so much fun lathering up and I was enjoying that beautiful old school scent, the slickness let the blade skate across my face, and the postshave feeling was so comfortable. The Lubriderm moisturizer was so soothing and finally the Tabac aftershave followed by the cologne completed the job perfectly. Although the 7 AM blade has pretty well reached the end of the road it gave me one last hoorah with a brilliant three pass BBS shave that was sheer joy!

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