SOS: October 2025

Happens to me from time to time-I put stuff in my droor and forgert that they're there until sometimes MUCH later.

 

Tuesday morning:

Warm shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/7 O’Clock day 4
Bundubeard Sandalwood SS
Lubriderm Moisturizer
Proraso Red AS Splash

This morning I was in the mood for a sandalwood scented shave and because I haven’t used this Bundubeard Sandalwood soap in a long time I decided to give it a spin. Does it ever smell gorgeous, it’s glycerine based but it lathers fantastically, it gives lots of slickness, the blade glide is awesome, and it’s really good in the skincare department. The Lubriderm moisturizer works so well as a balm, and the Proraso Red aftershave has a beautiful scent - in fact it smells almost exactly like this Bundubeard soap. Another great three pass BBS shave that I enjoyed so much!

Wishing you all a super duper day - be well and stay safe!

Awesome shave Akhi!

Which is your favourite MdC soap?

Great shave this morning. The Boar brush("The Almond Brush", made in England)was the only change from Monday. Boy, that brush scooped up the Stoylin Oud soap in nice fashion! Set me up for a lovely shave across the board. No incidents of negativity. Actually, I could have done better on the lower left side of North Porcupine(over the upper lip). Will watch out for that area tomorrow. Another great close from Agadir "Cooling Tonic" A.S. Most Outstanding.

 

Thank you Akhi!

All perform beautifully so my favorite simply comes down to scent along with if I had to pick one that I would like all year round. My favorite of the four I've tried has to be Absinthe. I really love the spearmint and fennel. Very refreshing. A super close second would be the one I used today. It has warm spicy notes like clove and cinnamon which for me is perfect at this time of year.

The Tabac Shave Soap was face-lathered well with Jayaruh #188 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette New Standard Razor and the Gillette Silver Blue Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Tabac After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Those two scents both sound amazing - cinnamon and clove are my types in a soap also. Absinthe is also something that I would eventually like to try but in general MdC costs a bissel zu fiel gelt! (A little too much money!)

Bowl: Symmetrical Pottery Starry Night Dottie Bowl Bowl
Soap: 345 Soap Co. Cuauhtli Cream

Today I reached for the Guerrilla aluminum and 345 Soap Co

The Guerrilla is an amazing razor. What you would expect from Wolfman. This is one of my favorite aluminum razors. Smooth and efficient it easily mows down my stubble. At some point I need to look into a Ti.

I have the subscription to 345 Soap Co. Every two months we get an exclusive release and they never disappoint! This is Jon’s interpretation of LV Imagination. It’s absolutely intoxicating! If you have never tried 345 Soap co what is the problem? If you have and aren’t subscribed what are you waiting for? Do it!

An amazing shave! Have a wonderful week and awesome shaves all!

Thank you. It was indeed a simple and classic shave, and a simple joy as well. No nicks, weepers, or razor-burn. A close and smooth finish.

I find it amusing how you sometimes switch your spell check to comedian mode

Thanks, It was my second use of the Zenith today and I didn't need to break it in at all. I’m guessing from what I’ve read in the various forums that the bristles will get softer after each use but they feel fine to me as is. I did wash and lather it with my zingari brush cleaner a couple times tonight as well, not that it needed it but just because what the hell right? and it does hold a lot of soap and takes a while to rinse it afterwards to the point where the water runs clear.
