One day you'll get the name correct. Agua Lavanda Puig

 

Oh, I always called it that...I added the "de" to show that it was "from" Puig, but you're right, I should have stuck with the right name, as before. As for "Lavanda"(not " Lavenda"), well that's a horse of a different persuasion.

I am currently completely convinced that K2e is best lather out there. IMHO.
I have used many others and don’t get me wrong there are some killer soaps out there a lot of which I haven’t used yet, but this is what I consider the current gold standard.
This soap deserves the GOAT razor, and the 1959 Schick did not disappoint.
Also this Alpha Shaving brush has the G4 knot as the new Club brush offering has as well.
There is a very good reason this is considered the knot of kings.
Super soft and fantastic latherer.
Excellent shave

Great shave with my aluminum handle ER 1912 Made in England. Had a generous viewer and YouTuber reach out and gift me a Bakelite case for this razor I had and wanted to thank him. Great shave but #11 on the Gem although giving great results is pushing it for my whiskers and was binned after the shave. Hope everyone has a great Sunday !

Sunday morning:

Stirling Mentholated Pre Shave Soap
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Minora day 5
Bundubeard Klipspringer’s Kick SS
Prep ASB
Reef Point Fougère Santal AS Splash
Quorum EdT

This morning I wanted to show Jaco’s soaps some love so I selected the Klipspringer. This soap is glycerine based but lathers like a tallow soap, its coffee/peppermint scent is delightful, there’s more than enough menthol in it to satisfy me, and it’s so skin friendly. The Prep and the Fougère Santal aftershave were a perfect finish. Another A1 and very enjoyable BBS shave!

Have a great Sunday - be well and safe!

SOTD SUNDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER 14, 2021

This morning I decided to change things up a bit. Instead of starting on my mug, my noggin kicked off what turned out to be an exemplary shave. Although my regular goto DE blade is a Feather, I grabbed a Wilkinson Sword blade, and fearing it wouldn’t be as sharp as I’m accustomed to, felt it was time to pull out my 2011 Muhle R41. I discarded the awful original handle that came with the razor years ago for my remaining Weber handle after selling the head off. It’s a very well-balanced pairing that sheared away my dome stubble in the usual two ATG passes, floating on a very slick, yogurty, skin rejuvenating A&E Shaving Butter lather leaving me quite smooth with a noggin shave surface my hand will definitely be returning to throughout the day.

After that great dome shave, I proceeded to dilute the the thicker dome lather until it reached that nice watery consistency perfect for my mug. Although I shaved with this lovely Manhattan Cutlery 13/16 straight razor a week or so ago, it is, without doubt, one of my finest vintage Sheffield steel shavers. David Work’s jeweler’s background provides him with the requisite attention to detail that always results in an amazingly accurate and precise restoration. If you ever get the opportunity to own one of his restored vintage razors, you won’t regret it. The heft and balance in hand are just perfect for me with this shaving tool, and two and a half passes finished with some final flatblading left me clean and oh-so-velveteen smooth.

RAZOR: Manhattan Cutlery 13/16 (Mug), 2011 Muhle R41 (Dome)
BLADE: Wilkinson Sword (Dome)
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with Argan Oil
BRUSH: Alpha Shaving T-400 with 24mm Hybrid Knot Ferrule
SOAP: Mitchell’s Wool Fat
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by a rinse with Humphreys Lilac WH. Finished with A&E Post-Shave Serum.
