2 days of growth easily sliced off with my Timeless Aluminum Slant with a Personna Gem Diamond Glide(3) DE. The lather from my Frankensoap mixture today, was fabulous. These scents mixed well together. Overall, a great shave.

Wednesday morning’s Lemony Scented Grand Freeze:

Warm shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/7 O’Clock day 11
Stirling Glacial Lemon Chill SS
Stirling Glacial Lemon Chill ASB
Stirling Glacial Lemon Chill AS Splash
Amatoury 114 Lemon Cologne

Fresh, tangy lemon with two boatloads of frigidly cold menthol, a beautiful brush that performs like a champ, an awesome razor/blade combination and three passes - what more can I ask for? Another super duper BBS shave that was so delightful. The Glacial Lemon Chill soap, balm, and aftershave are an absolute must have in my den at ALL times - do I ever LOVE them. Finally the 114 cologne which is a very cheap one from Lebanon, yet it has a lovely lemony fragrance which surprised my wife - she complimented me on it when she smelled it and she couldn’t believe it when I told her that it cost me only six bucks!

Enjoy your day and your shaves - be well and stay safe!

A fabulous shave this morning with Subtle Art Soap Co Mid Cape Barber. What a marvelous scent. Joe and Sadie's soaps perform so well. The Rockwell 6s on plate 2 easily handled the 1 day's growth.

Tuesday morning:

Warm shower
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/7 O’Clock day 10
Florena SC
Lubriderm Moisturizer
Brut Total Attraction AS Splash

Originally I was planning on using a vintage stick from Sweden but I suddenly saw this Florena cream so I went with it instead. This tube is old but the cream still smells and performs great not to mention how comfortable it leaves my skin. The Lubriderm moisturizer enhanced the comfort, and the Total Attraction aftershave smells really nice - my wife even complimented me on it and when I told her how little I paid for it she freaked out. Three passes gave me such a wonderful BBS shave that I enjoyed so much!

Wishing you all a good day - be well and stay safe!

Razor-Shabe craft 3 piece
Blade-Astra SP *3 (I think)
Brush-vie long horse hair
Soap-Stirling Frozen tundra
AS- Harry's balm
This was a very good shave,no irritation but the blade was probably actually past the 3 times used. As there was some rigging towards the end of the shave.
As always Stirling Soap performs exactly as advertised and with the Vie-Long brush it did fantastic providing protection.
Happy shaves!
