Saturday morning - vintage time again:

Hot shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/new Crystal
Irisch Moos Shaving Stick
Lubriderm Moisturizer
Benjamin’s Bay Rum Splash

What a pity that this Irisch Moos stick was discontinued because it really is wonderful. I rarely use it because there’s no way to get it again. The scent is a delight, it lathers beautifully, it’s so slick, and it’s great in the skincare department. The Lubriderm moisturizer felt so soothing, and the Benjamin’s Bay Rum splash smells so nice - even my wife who hates most of my aftershaves and fragrances said this one is awesome. Three passes with the new Crystal gave me a tip top BBS shave that I enjoyed to the max!

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

What an awesome shave my Lantzman! Irisch Moos is one of those legendary products. I've heard nothing but good things about it.

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

A later than normal shave today, but the results were stellar! Returned to my Valobra-era AoS shave soap. Unscented other than just the base itself, but with an incredible lather built with the Envy Shave badger brush for three passes with the Karve and I finished with alum, followed by Thayers unscented witch hazel and vintage Yardley of London "Musk" aftershave lotion. Really like this AS. From a quick Google search, it seems it's from the late 70's. Definitely has that Yardley scent DNA.

Another effortless BBS shave!

Hope you have a great day. :)
