SOTD April 2026

Saturday morning’s Get It Over With Shave:

Hot shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/7 O’Clock day 7
PAA Cold Spices SS
Lubriderm Moisturizer
PAA Cold Spices AS Splash

Three lightning fast passes gave me a great BBS shave which I didn’t enjoy but now there’s enough of this soap to use once or twice more and then finito.

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

Saturday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Amalfi Basil Lemon Shaving Soap
Jayaruh #144
Hoffritz Travel Razor
Astra SP
Cold Water Rinse
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Old Spice Classic After Shave

The Amalfi Basil Lemon Shaving Soap face-lathered well with Jayaruh #144 Badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Hoffritz Travel Razor and the Astra SP Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Old Spice Classic After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
 
A Saturday morning shave with the Leather theme. Thats right, Im rocking Vegan leather. The 1912 line is really terrific, and the scent strength off the puck has lasted lo these several years. The "Fatboy" (1st 1/4, 1960)' on setting five did the job as usual, with a Wizamet blade. OG Mem English Leather capped off the shave, with lather whilped up eith yhe beloved Simpson KH2 Keyhole in Best. I love my Simpson brushes. Nary a shedder among them.6641.jpg
