Friday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Archaic Alchemy Eureka Shaving Soap
Jayaruh #478
Cobra Classic
Feather Artist Club
Cold Water Rinse
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Nivea Shave Balm

The Archaic Alchemy Eureka Shaving Soap face-lathered well with Jayaruh #478 Synthetic brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Cobra Classic razor and the Feather Artist Club Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Nivea Shave Balm. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Friday morning’s Fun Filled Grand Freeze:

Hot shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/7 O’Clock day 5
Stirling Glacial Cedar SS
Gold Bond Moisturizer
Stirling Glacial Cedar AS Splash

This Glacial Cedar is one of the newer scents which Rod and Mandy created about two years ago and I absolutely LOVE it. Along with the cedar I find a slight hint of lime in it to make the scent all the more beautiful. The soap is a fabulous latherer, the slickness is amazing, the menthol sensation is off the charts, and the postshave feeling is wonderful just like all of these Stirling soaps. The Gold Bond moisturizer has more than enough menthol in it as well and it’s so soothing. Finally a couple of splashes of the Glacial Cedar aftershave and I’m frozen solid not to mention how awesome I smell. Another most enjoyable three pass BBS shave - no complaints whatsoever!

Wishing you all a nice weekend - be well and stay safe!

A beautiful shave, Akhi! Shabbat Shalom!
 
Saturday morning:

Hot shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/7 O’Clock day 6
RVT Roseline SS
Lubriderm Moisturizer
Brut Attraction Totale AS Splash

My good friend Mohamed Peer in Durban, South Africa has a company called River Valley Trading and they sell a lot of excellent shaving soaps that are made by a woman who prefers not to use tallow. These soaps are all vegan based, this Roseline has a VERY similar scent to the discontinued Williams stick that was produced in South Africa, it lathers great, although it’s not a particularly slick soap it still leaves a pretty comfortable postshave feeling that the Lubriderm moisturizer enhances. The Attraction Totale aftershave smells very nice, and after the initial two second sting it feels very soothing. I only did two passes but I ended up BBS - this was an awesome, enjoyable shave. I’ll stay in today - winter came back here. 🥲🥲

Be well and stay safe - have a good day.
