Greetings,

Last use of the bolzano s.i. blade which has performed superbly with each outing. These blades are smooth sharp & very forgiving. Every razor i've paired them up with has been a excellent match...The longevity of them is astoundingly good i know i could quite easily get another two shaves from this blade but i will retire it due to me having a boat load of other blades to contend with.
I have carried on with the hefty Parker 89r to finish my shaving week off, another razor i haven't added to my razor rotation for a while. throughout the week my humble parker have provided me with socially acceptable error free shaves.
Today was no exception.

This morning myself and other family members are going to pay our respects to my aunt Joan (86 years of age) who finally past away last week, i say 'finally' because she lived in a care home in a state of extreme dementia for four years which was horrible for her even though she wasn't aware of it, 'a blessing in disguise for her i suppose' and equal for her children family, friends and dedicated supportive care home staff.
Alzheimer's disease/Dementia is the most undignified disease for anybody...'I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy'...Anyway at last she is at rest, away from this crazy covid pandemic madness world we are living in at the moment.

Another pleasurable 3 pass + pick ups near BBS shave with no errors to report...Finishing to the shave off with a small dollop of L'OREAL~ Soothing Birch Sap Post Shave Balm.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling divine.

Stay safe, and enjoy your Day ladies & gentlemen.

Take care everyone. Yours. B

 

Wow, just a really nice Turkish Thursday with Derby Soap (Green Tub Version), Mamara Barber No 1, and even had The Shave Factory Boar Brush. Just a superb shave.

Thursday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Van Der Hagen Luxury Shaving Soap
Jayaruh #144 Finest Badger
Gillette French Goodwill OC
Gillette Silver Blue
CWR
Aqua Velva 5 in 1 ASB

The Van Der Hagen Luxury Shaving Soap face-lathered well with Jayaruh #144 Finest Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette French Goodwill OC razor with a Gillette Silver Blue blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Aqua Velva 5 in 1 ASB. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Thank you!

I am really enjoying it primo. It has more backbone than my other 2 paladins. It also has softer tips. Great knot in this brush.

 

Ken offers some incredible brushes. Enjoy!

 

Love your #144, Jim. Hope the leg has completely healed.

Thursday morning’s Grand Freeze:

L’Oreal Men Expert Facial Wash
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/Derby day 5
Bundubeard African Potato X 3 SS
Prep ASB
Alcolado Glacial Menthol Splash
Polo Green EdT

This African Potato X 3 is a soap which can easily compete with any of the Stirling Glacials in terms of menthol power - as soon as the lather makes contact with your face the freeze begins and each pass makes it become more intense. The scent is beautiful, the lather is such a pleasure to work up, and the skincare is brilliant. The Prep did a perfect job of moisturizing and soothing my skin, it added plenty of extra menthol cooling, and the Alcolado Glacial splash works so well as an aftershave. Every so often I enjoy wearing the Polo Green - it seems to suit me. Three delightful passes cleaned me up and left me as smooth as silk!

Be healthy and safe - have a great day!
