SOS: August 2025

I’m starting off the month of August with a whopper of a Grand Freeze:

Cool shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/7 AM day 6
Stirling Glacial Cedar SS
Lubriderm Moisturizer
Stirling Glacial Cedar AS Splash

Actually I’m not supposed to be shaving until tomorrow night because of the week of Tisha B’av which is a Jewish mourning week but after going four days without a shave my beard stubble became unbearable because it was so heavy so I decided to get rid of it. It took five passes but I did it.

Have a great weekend - be well and stay safe.

Greetings,

A new eclectic shave set up to start the weekend..

For the next month I'll be revisiting my Chinese clone razors pairing them together with another run with the Lord Silver Star Super Stainless & Shark Super Stainless DE blades for my combined face & head shaves.

It's been a while since i last added the OSP neroli soap to my soap rotation of which I've had some time ago now going off the samples of other OSP soaps that I tried and the wonderful grapefruit & menthol cream performance both have provided me with a super protective lather throughout each shave leaving an excellent post shave feel.

A flawless combined face and head shave with the Ming Shi 2000s / Lord Silver Star Super Stainless duo. Finishing the shave off with a generous splash of Brut Sport Style ASL.

My face & precious swede are is feeling smooth & smelling divine.

Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.

Saturday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Barbasol Shave Cream
Burma Shave Boar Brush
Supply SE MAX
Supply Black Label Injector
CWR
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Lustray Spice After Shave

The Barbasol Shave Cream was applied with the Burma Shave Boar Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Supply SE MAX razor and a Supply Black Label Injector Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Lustray Spice After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
