SOTD May 2026

Sunday morning:

Warm shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Super Platinum day 2
De Vergulde Hand Extra Fris SS
Proraso Blue ASB
Aqua Velva Musk AS Splash

This Extra Fris version of De Vergulde Hand is terrific - first of all this is the oldest brand in the world because it’s been around for well over 450 years. The scent (to me) is very nice - it’s soapy with aquatic notes, it gives AMAZING lather so easily, although it’s not the slickest soap it still leaves a comfortable post-shave feeling. The Proraso Blue balm felt so moisturizing as well as soothing, and the Aqua Velva Musk aftershave smells great. Another brilliant three pass BBS shave that was really enjoyable!

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

Beautiful head shave, Akhi.

I did not know CeraVe has a lotion with SPF50. I will have to seek that out. I use CeraVe Moisturizing Cream everyday on my trouble areas of my body. Great stuff.

Shavuah Tov!

Lather Catcher Sunday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Williams Mug Shave Soap
Jayaruh #425 Synthetic
Superior Lather Catcher
Personna Gem PTSE Single Age Blade
CWR
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Brut After Shave

I started with the cold water rinse. The Williams lathered well with the Jayaruh #425. I did two passes with the Superior Lather Catcher razor with a Personna Gem PTSE Single Age Bladee. After a cold water rinse, I finished with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Brut After Shave. I am now clean, smooth, and refreshed.
