fabulous red shave and pic Paul..

 

Thank you Gary! A really enjoyable Saturday afternoon shave!

 

Depending on my mood and I’m thinking of Ardbeg 10 years old or Johnnie Walker Green Label

 

Those are both winners! I’m having an Ardbeg 10 right now!

Greetings,

A relaxing Sunday morning shave.

I can't remember the last time that i used the Van Der Hagen soap, which was kindly gifted to me by a fellow member of TSR Forum (UK).

Like many other glycerine based shaving soaps it takes a little time & effort to get it to the consistency that i prefer, but well worth the effort leaving a good post shave feel.

A enjoyable 2 pass + pick ups comfort shave with no errors to report...Finishing the shave off with a few small squirts of Milton Lloyd The Man Cobalt EdT to the pulse points.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling divine.

Stay safe, and enjoy your Sunday ladies & gentlemen.

Hi Friends,

here my just ended shave.

Razor: Merkur 23c // Blade: Personna red // Soap: Scheermonnik Berk // Brush: Omega 20102 // Aftershave: Pinaud Clubman Virgin Island Bay Rum

Great shave. The star of the Party was definitely the soap. Nice muted Sandalwood scent with great lather and even better skinfeel during and after the shave. Wonderful.

Have a great time, enjoy your shaves and stay safe and healthy.

Greetings
Thorsten

Sunday:

warm shower with Murray & Lanman Lotus & Violets bar soap
Handsome Rob Sandalwood PSO
Schick Krona 3 passes
Vi-John Super Platinum (1)
Vi-John cream in a warm bowl
DublDuck boar
Thayers Cucumber WH
Crusellas Violet Water

Decided to give the Vi-John products another try after chatting with @Aztecmike about them recently.

I don't remember what razor I previously tried these blades in but I didn't do too bad with the Krona. Of course, the Krona is the type of razor that doesn't seem to be blade picky. I got a fairly decent shave but by the third pass the blade felt like a good blade would feel after the fourth shave when you can't make up your mind whether to pitch it or try for a fifth shave.

I worked the cream to death and made lots of attractive fluff but it lacks glide and doesn't want to stick to your face once you get to the third pass and there's not much stubble left for it to latch on to.

All in all it seemed like a "hotel products" shave. I got the job done and it wasn't terrible but they're not the products you'd buy to use at home.

Have a great week, fellow shavers!

 

Sunday morning:

King C. Gillette Facial Wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Gillette day 5
Matas SS
Nivea Cool Kick ASB
Murray & Lanman Florida Water AS Splash
Bleu de Chanel Deodorant Stick
Bleu de Chanel Parfum

This Matas is the only commercial soap that I know of that’s made in Denmark and it wouldn’t win any awards for its scent because it hardly has any. It smells a bit soapy but it has excellent lather and pretty good skincare. The Nivea Cool Kick balm felt so moisturizing as well as soothing while the Florida Water aftershave gave me its great old school scent which never interferes with the lovely Bleu de Chanel. Another tip top BBS shave which was so enjoyable!

Have a good Sunday - be well and safe!

Tolle Rasur mein lieber!

Ich hörte dass diese Scheermonik Seifen nicht mehr verfügbar sind. Ist dass richtig?

Ich wünsche dir einen schönen und beruhigend Sonntag!
