    Thursday's Cold Water Shave

    Cold Water Rinse
    Cella Shave Soap
    Jayaruh #432 Synthetic
    Gillette English Flat Bottom NEW
    Astra SP
    CWR
    Cella After Shave Balm

    The Cella Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #432 Synthetic brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette English Flat Bottom NEW and the Astra SP Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Cella After Shave Balm. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Thursday morning:

    Hot shower
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Canadian Tech/Astra Green day 2
    De Vergulde Hand Extra Fris SS
    De Vergulde Hand ASB
    Max Disinfecting AS Splash
    Bleu de Chanel Deodorant Stick
    Bleu de Chanel Parfum

    Yesterday I received a nice haul from the Netherlands and the De Vergulde Hand Extra Fris as well as a couple of the original soaps and the balm and a few other things came in. The Extra Fris soap smells completely different from the original version - it seems to be pleasantly scented - it’s aquatic and soapy, the lather works up so thick, rich, and quite slick, and the skincare is pretty good. The De Vergulde Hand balm smells exactly like the original soap, it’s so moisturizing and soothing along with a nice cooling sensation. The Max Disinfecting aftershave from Bulgaria completed the job. Three passes left me mega BBS - what a super duper shave!

    Have a good day - be well and safe![​IMG]

    My friend Evan (MrEE) replated this Goodwill in gold for me. There is a certain irony involved in that, given the humble origins of these razors. Such a great shaver and very similar to its close cousin the NEW LC. A favourite scent in a favourite lather completed the nice shave.
    Have a great day all!

    Trick or Treet week, OCtober 27th 2022

    Razor : Razorock 2nd Generation Lupo- excellent mid range, the first shave with a new blade and this razor just shines of perfection on my face, excellent razor for under the nose area, excellent clamping design & made with 316 SS with outstanding Quality control of tolerances and finish. A very enjoyable shave this morning with a few new products also.
    Blade : Treet Carbon steel (1), sharp & smoooth, minimum longevity(2-3 shaves) IMO. 1st shave with a new blade and the results are excellent. Very close shave!
    Soap : Yaqi Musketeer Rapier, nice scent with excellent protection. I whipped up a nice lather with a my new 26mm synthetic brush.
    Brush : Yaqi "Casino Clubs" 26mm Timber wolf knot, excellent lather generator, heavenly luxury cloud like soft tips, gentle scrubber + excellent lather painter. Very nice first use of my new brush acquired recently.
    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 : Yaqi Musketeer splash + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
    Results :CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers=[​IMG] Excellent shave with my RR Lupo.72 with a Treet carbon blade.

    AoS Lemon~~Semogue 2012 SE~~1947 Gillette Super-Speed/Voskhod~~Jerry Juice
    So, this is from a shaver, who once proclaimed he was transitioning to strictly triple-milled soaps.
    :happy102::happy102::happy102::happy102::happy102::happy102::happy102::happy102::happy102::happy102::happy102:
    Truth is, I LOVE a great shave cream; and this cream, fellow-shavers, is second to NONE!
    My particular exemplar happens to be fairly old and is as hard as a triple-milled soap, BUT---
    it lathers as well as it did on its maiden shave.
    The iconic 1947 (last of the un-notched Super-Speeds) was loaded with a thrice-used Voskhod.
    Good results, funnily enough.
    Splashed on some Jerry Juice to complete a very nice shave.
    Have a great day!

    Friday morning:

    Hot shower
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Canadian Tech/Astra Green day 3
    Palmolive Menthol SC
    Prep ASB
    Floid Vigoroso AS Splash
    Acqua di Selva Cologne

    A quickie but a very goodie - the day before yesterday I received a nice haul from the Netherlands and now I have a backup Palmolive Menthol tube. This cream has always been a top favourite of mine. The scent is so minty and nice, the lather is such a pleasure to work up, the menthol sensation feels heavenly, and it’s so skin friendly. The Prep and the Floid Vigoroso were a perfect finish, while the Acqua di Selva cologne gave me its delightful old school European scent that I love so much. What a brilliant BBS shave this was!

    Enjoy your weekend - be well and safe![​IMG]
