    Shave of the Week Starting 5/5/2025

    Razor............Rowen
    Blade............Various
    Brush...........TRC Chasmere
    Soap............Yardley
    Post.............Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
    A/S.............Various

    Noticed this new to the market razor on another board and since I like that style razor, I took a chance on their version 1. I need to more shaves and blade tryout to determine how I feel about it so that's why there are 3 different blades shown. But today's shave was quite nice. Smooth/mild/comfortable/fairly effective but it's just the first of the week. We'll see how it goes.

    Menthol Monday’s Frigid Announcement:

    Hot shower
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Junjie/Bic day 10
    Stirling Glacial Frozen Tuxedo SS
    Diana Menthol Balm
    Stirling Glacial Frozen Tuxedo AS Splash
    Davidoff Cool Water EdT

    OMG…….it takes a real menthol monkey like me to be able to use stuff like this because it’s so intense. The Glacial Frozen Tuxedo’s scent is so delightful, the soap is a lather champion, the slickness is wonderful, the menthol sensation is so bone chilling, and the skincare is numero uno. The Diana balm is icy cold with great moisturizing, and the Glacial Frozen Tuxedo aftershave can leave your face almost numb from its menthol kick. Finally the Cool Water fragrance seems to pair well somehow with this soap and aftershave. Three passes gave me a dynamite BBS shave that I thoroughly enjoyed!

    Wishing you all a good week ahead - be well and stay safe![​IMG]

    I don't think I've heard of the Rowen. I like mild and efficient. Thanks for your post.

    2 Days growth

    Soap = Stirling Bergamot and Lavender
    Brush = Omega 10049
    Bowl = white plastic
    Razor = Gillette Aristocrat No 15
    Blade = Vintage Henckels (1)
    Post = Usual CWR, Alum, rinse, pat dry, Thayer’s rose petal, L’Occitane ASB
    ASL = Clubman Pinaud’s

    Fuss free and damage super smooth shave. This No 15 has a somewhat pitted cap, but made no difference to this lovely shave. This time I found the fresh Henckel's blade both smooth and sharp

    Lovely fresh sunny day in Perth. Have a great Tuesday everyone
