Wednesday morning:

Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/Shark day 4
Bundubeard Kudu’s Kick SS
Prep ASB
F&C Black Powder AS Splash

Originally I planned to use an Egyptian mentholated cream but the Kudu soap was begging me for some love so that’s what I selected this morning and to be very honest I’m happy that I did. Ah, that scent........wow, it’s absolutely delightful, I had enough lather for two guys to shave with, and the menthol sensation was wonderful. Jaco’s soaps are also extremely moisturizing and skin friendly so how could anyone not love them? I had lots of great additional postshave care from the Prep and the Black Powder aftershave from Folsom & Company smells lovely - not only that, it gives a good, strong menthol punch. BBS from three glorious passes!

 

October 2 SOTD:

Razor: PAA Ascension SS

Good photograph! Good morning.

 

Gillette Tech razor (triangle slots)
Treet 7 Days blade
RazoRock Plissoft brush
CRSW Schapenmelk SS
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
Pinaud Citrus Musk cologne

Why do I keep overlooking the Tech when it shaves me so well? Don't know but I'd better stop it cuz I got a 2 pass BBS this morning with no problem. Think the Treet blade helped a whole lot too, it's a top notch blade. My face is very very happy. Now go enjoy your day folks.

 

Good line up and photo Jim!

 

WEDNESDAY'S SHAVE​

Perfumed by:
Olivier Polge


Razor - Edwin Jagger "Kelvin"
Blade - Astra Superior Platinum *4th Shave
Shave Brush - Beauty7 Professional Premium Synthetic Nylon
Pre-shave Oil - Lather & Wood "unscented"
Soap - Nile Naturals Products "Dolce & Gabbana The One" (Must request custom order.)
Soap Bowl - Dr. Dittmar black acrylic glass dish
Lather Bowl by Royal Shave
Razor/Brush Stand by Royal Shave
Aftershave - Dolce & Gabbana - "The One" Aftershave Splash
Post-Shave Balm - Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements - Mysterium Serum
Deodorant - Dolce & Gabbana - "The One"
Fragrance - Dolce & Gabbana - "The One" EDT

***EDIT - 1-pass + clean up. BBS. Excellent shave. No irritation weepers or anything. The Edwin Jagger and the Astra blade just blazed through the stubble with no issue. The soap, which is a shea butter bath soap works fantastic as a shave soap. I've only ever used pre-shave oil as a precaution but I think I likely don't need it. This soap I think was originally made to be used as a woman's bath soap that can work with shaving in the tub. Works great as a men's shaving soap. I get great post-shave feel from it. It's really one of the most surprisingly good products that I didn't expect to be good.

 

I never thought I'd shave with a menthol cream, follow it up with a glacial aftershave, open the bedroom window and turn on the fan in OCTOBER in MASSACHUSETTS. I doubt any of that will be happening the next week or so, with some chilly weather ahead. But the good news for me on that is that allows me to bring out some of the "big boys" for my shaves. I'll be sure to put in some solid reports here. Maybe....MAYBE not as solid as those of @Primotenore , but there will indeed be some "creative" writing.
