Greetings,

An early morning cold water head & face Shave,

It's been a while since I last added the fine fresh vetiver soap to my soap rotation and forgot how good of a lather this soap gives in a short space of time.

A comfortable face & head shave with no errors to report. The Supply V2 was the star of the shave this morning, mowing through my head stubble with effortless ease.

Finishing the shave off with a generous splash of Brut Sport Style ASL.

My face & precious swede are feeling smooth & smelling divine.

Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.

Tabac Tuesday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Tabac Shave Soap
Frank Shaving Badger
Razorock Black Hawk
Feather Professional
CWR
Hendrick's Witch Hazel
Tabac AS

The Tabac Shave Soap lathered well with the Frank Shaving Badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Razorock Black Hawk razor and a Feather Professional Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Hendrick's Witch Hazel and then Tabac AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Tuesday morning’s Grand Freeze:

L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Derby day 9
Captain Nemo Absolute Zero SS
Prep ASB
Captain Nemo Absolute Zero AS Toner
Bleu de Chanel Deodorant Stick
Bleu de Chanel EdP

If this shave was any colder my face would have disintegrated - the Absolute Zero soap and aftershave toner are both MEGA FRIGID. The scent is so nice - it’s aquatic with minty notes, the soap lathers beautifully, the menthol sensation is so intense that it easily compares to any of the Stirling Glacials, and the skincare is brilliant. The Prep is such a soothing balm, the Absolute Zero aftershave is so powerfully mentholated but there’s no alcohol so it never stings or burns - in fact it’s very moisturizing, and finally I helped myself again to the gorgeous Bleu de Chanel fragrance that I love so much. Three passes gave me a dynamite BBS shave that I enjoyed from start to finish!

Have a great day - be well and stay safe!

DE SOTD, Tuesday, November 25th 2023

Razor : Razorock Wunderbar slant with a modified short Micromatic handle- Mfg 2017>, mid to upper mid range. Very interesting designed + machining and finish QC is excellent. It took me a while when I first got into traditional wet shaving to master this razor but as my technique improved I found it performs nicely for close comfortable shaves. I found riding the bar(Steep angle) with a short handle(less leverage, weight and quicker response of curved features of my face just works very well) + a light touch produces excellent results. Had a stellar close comfortable shave this morning.
Blade : Gillette 7 oClock SP(4) sharp and smoooth with reasonable longevity blade life.
Soap : Yaqi Musketeer Rapier , nice fragranced soap scent (dupe of Aramas classic) with excellent lather qualities. Yaqi commissioned Master soap creations of SA to produce their line of fragrances & soaps(Fernando is a artesian soap creator and one of the best for fragrances IMO.)
Brush : Yaqi "Mocha express" 26 mm Husky synthetic knot. Excellent lather generator, heavenly luxury cloud like soft tips, gentle splay scrubber + excellent lather painter.
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 : Witch hazel soap residual beard cleanse + Yaqi Musketeer Rapier + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results : or CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers= Had a stellar close comfortable shave this morning with my RR Wunderbar slant with a Gillette 7 oClock SP blade.(cotton ball tested).

Have some great shaves!
