A fantastic frozen shave, Akhi! In this warmer weather, your face should thaw out faster. Have a wonderful Shabbat!

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.
Another great shave today. Returned to my Valobra era TAOS unscented shave soap. Such a shame these were discontinued. Some of the best lather I've ever used. If you're ever able to find any, buy them immediately! A thick, voluminous and super slick lather built with the Paladin badger brush for three passes with the Rockwell 6S and I finished with alum, followed by Thayers unscented witch hazel, and Murray & Lanman "Florida Water".
BBS bliss!!
Hope you have a great day.

Nice shave Akhi!
I’m not familiar with those scents but I bet they’re fantastic!

Todah Akhi!
This particular scent is Sharp Dressed Man with tons of menthol. That one is the copy of Green Irish Tweed from Creed which is an expensive but magnificent fragrance!

Can’t believe how fast this week flew by. Hope you’re all having a great weekend.
Cheers!

Lather Catcher Sunday's Cold Water Shave
Cold Water Rinse
Williams Mug Shave Soap
Jayaruh #425 Synthetic
Fuzzy Catcher by Tom White
Personna Gem PTSE Blade
CWR
Brut After Shave
I started with the cold water rinse. The Williams lathered well with the Jayaruh #425. I did one quick pass with the Fuzzy Catcher razor by Tom White with a Personna Gem PTSE Blade. After a cold water rinse, I finished with Brut After Shave. I am now clean, smooth, and refreshed.

Thanks Akhi!
The menthol sensation from all of the Glacials is so powerful that it takes a LONG time before it subsides!

Sunday morning:
Cool shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Super Platinum day 9
Proraso Green SS
Gold Bond Moisturizer
Proraso Green AS Splash
By no means was this a Grand Freeze like I had yesterday but it was still very cooling as well as refreshing. The Proraso Green soap gave me plenty of thick, rich lather with lots of slickness and such a comfortable post-shave feeling. Do I ever love the Gold Bond moisturizer because it’s so soothing and it also has more than enough menthol to add some chill. Finally the Proraso Green aftershave went on with an icy kick - it also smells great. Another awesome three pass BBS shave that was such a pleasure!
Wishing you all a nice Sunday - be well and stay safe!

That is one good looking red Enders. Classic brush, cream and razor. What blade are you running in the Enders? Vintage or Injector with Adaptor?

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.
Another great shave today. Returned to Adopted Acres Soap Co. and their excellent "Lime on the Line" shave soap and splash. Great scent, but the spearmint and peppermint oils overpower the lime. A fantastic lather built with the Ever-Ready synth for three passes with the Rockwell 6S and I finished with alum, followed by Thayers unscented witch hazel, the matching aftershave splash and CBL Premium Barber Powder.
BBS bliss!!
