    Hi Friends,

    Here my Shave of the Day (21.09.2025)

    IMG_7924.jpeg
    Razor: RazoRock Daily + // Blade: Gillette yellow // Soap: Bundubeard Rooi Afrikaner // Brush: Yaqi Moka // Aftershave: Witch Hazel - Aloe Vera Gel

    What a wonderful shave this was. I received a package with 7 soaps from Bundubeard and the RazoRock Daily + was included in this package. All soaps and the razor are on loan, but hey, i am extremely glad and humbled that this person thought for me. Now i have the chance to give these outstanding soaps a test as well as the razor.

    Both performed stunningly today. The lather was creamy and had tons of glide and cushion. The scent is for my nose not describable but it is very pleasant. The razor is very smooth and gentle, yet very thoroughly. Great razor so far.

    To end the shave i used Witch Hazel followed by Aloe Vera Gel. Very refreshing.

    A 10 out of 10

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

    Greetings
    Thorsten

    Tolle Rasur mein lieber!

    Nach meiner Meinung ist die Rooi Afrikaner eine fantastische Seife!

    Alles Gute und pass auf dich auf!

    SOTD: 09/21/2025

    Razor: Wolfman Razors WR3 Ti
    Blade: Personna GEM Stainless PTFE, 1st use
    Brush: Trotter Handcrafts Bams’ Bats In The Butterscotch T1 Manchurian Badger
    Bowl: CaYuen Workshop Abalone Bowl
    Soap: Adopted Acres Soap Co. The Sanderson Sister Trio - Mary Puck
    Aftershave: Adopted Acres Soap Co. The Sanderson Sisters Trio - Binx Aftershave
    Additional Care: Osma Alum
    Additional Care: Thayers Facial Toner: Rose Petal

    Today’s shave was my first with my brand new Wolfman WR3 in Ti and I went to one of my favorite artisans new limited holiday release Adopted Acres Sanderson Sisters - Mary finished off with Binx!

    This is my first Wolfman. I have a Guerrilla aluminum razor and it is one of my favorites so I know how great their razors can be. This arrived (with a few hiccups) to my door tariff-free as they are covered under USMCA! I love GEM razors so when I chose a WR3. And have been on a light kick so titanium was also the choice. I went with the .55 gap and I chose basic polish. First this razor is gorgeous! The basic polish shines so bright I had to watch when taking pictures of it. And what a shave! I love a SE shave especially a GEM blade! Smooth, efficient, and maneuverable it took down three days stubble as if there was none hair. Amazing! Only one shave in this may be the new top razor in the den!

    Adopted Acres has done it again, as always, with the Sanderson Sisters Trio! Mary is the first I’ve used and it’s fantastic! Warm, a little spicy and all fall this really sets up the coming season. And Binx being the accompanying aftershave for all three sisters is so cool. And I smell amazingly seasonal! WOW! Awesome stuff!

    A an amazing shave! Have a great day everyone! Hope the week was great! Shave on!

    Single use DE Blade
    Shave Stick

    22 Sep 2025.jpg

    Sticking to the Tuckaway again with a 2 day growth while I try a fresh new blade each day, minimising variables. That said I did skip the pre-shave routine.

    2 Days growth

    Prep: Cold water shave
    Soap = Wilkinson shave stick
    Brush = Semogue Pegasus
    Face lather
    Razor = Tuckaway
    Blade = Wilkinson (1) Made in China
    Passes = 3
    Post = Usual CWR, Alum, rinse, pat dry, Thayer’s rose petal
    ASB = L’Occitane
    ASL = Blue Stratos
    Scent = Blue Stratos
    Damage = None

    Three passes needed to complete the shave: either due to skipping my usual Pre-shave routine, or, somewhat more likely, due this blade not being the keenest. To be honest it felt a bit rough and and needed careful supervision. Either way, success was had, and no damage to report.

    Have a good day one and all…

    Shave of the Week Starting 9/22/2025

    Razor...............Snmirn
    Blade...............Super-Max Blue Diamond
    Brush...............WD Synthetic
    Soap................Arko
    Post.................Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
    A/S.................Assorted

    Delightful start to the week.. The Snmirn has a weird name but works very well indeed. Got it a few years ago at $9.99 delivered and thought that it might be ok. No, it's a pretty darn good shaver that I like. Don't use it enough but maybe that will change. It's got good heft to it and lately I'm favoring lighter razors. Anyway, great shave and my face is happy. Now go enjoy your day folks.

    Menthol Monday's Cold Water Shave

    Cold Water Rinse
    Lea Menthol Shave Cream
    Jayaruh #454 Two-band Badger
    Gem G-Bar
    Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade
    CWR
    Humphrey's Witch Hazel
    Mennen Skin Bracer After Shave

    The Lea Menthol Shave Cream was face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #454 Two-band Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gem G-Bar and the Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Mennen Skin Bracer After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Menthol Monday’s Special Grand Freeze:

    Cool shower
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Super Speed/Crystal day 12
    MSC Citrus Melody SS*
    Bundubeard Stoffel ASB
    MSC Citrus Melody AS Splash
    Christian Dior Eau Sauvage EdT

    *This is a different version of the Citrus Melody soap which my dear brother Fernando made for me - the regular one is very cold but this one that I used today is something like FIVE times colder. It’s so intense that it passes the Stirling Glacials and the Chiseled Face Cryogen or even the Absolute Zero from Captain Nemo. This version is also tallow based, it has the same lovely citrusy scent, it takes a bit more of an effort to get the lather right but with a little patience and some extra water your face will be buried, the menthol sensation is borderline painful, (in a good way of course!) and it’s so skin friendly. The Stoffel balm and the Citrus Melody aftershave intensified the freeze big time. Finally the beautiful Eau Sauvage fragrance topped it all off. Three passes gave me a brilliant BBS shave with an insane menthol assault!

    Wishing you all a great week ahead - be well and stay safe!

    To all the Jewish members I wish you Shana Tovah U’metukah! (A good and sweet New Year!)[​IMG]
