    Saturday morning:

    L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Super Speed/7 AM day 6
    MSC Vintage Spice SS
    Aveeno Moisturizer
    MSC Vintage Spice AS Splash

    This Vintage Spice soap and aftershave are something for the books - my brother Fernando created two precious treasures. Every time I use them I love them more and more and more. When the Shulton Old Spice stuff was discontinued I felt terrible because I loved them so much but Fernando’s version is so close that it’s a perfect substitute. Three glorious passes gave me a dynamite BBS shave that was such a pleasure!

    Enjoy your day and your shaves - be well and stay safe![​IMG]

    Saturday Straights' Cold Water Shave

    Cold Water Rinse
    Colgate Shaving Mug Soap
    Jayaruh #395 Badger
    J.A. Henckels 5/8
    CWR
    Dickinson's Witch Hazel
    Granddad's Blend AS

    The Colgate Shaving Mug Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #395 Badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the 5/8 straight gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Dickinson's Witch Hazel and then Granddad's Blend AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
