SOTD: June 2026

11 June, 2026

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Another "Best Shave of the Week" contender this morning! Returned to my vintage Shulton "Old Spice" suite of products. Great Old School scent with an incredible lather built with the WWBW badger brush for three passes with the Rockwell 6S and I finished with alum, followed by Thayers unscented witch hazel, and the matching aftershave lotion, talc & EdC.

BBS bliss!!

Hope you have a great day. :)

Thursday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Williams Mug Shave Soap
Jayaruh #425 Synthetic
Treet Single Edge Razor
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 Treet Single Edge Razor with a Personna Gem PTSE Blade. After a cold water rinse, I finished with Brut After Shave. I am now clean, smooth, and refreshed.

Thursday morning:

Cool shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Super Platinum day 12
Stirling Island Man SS
L’Oreal Men Expert Hydra Power Moisturizer
Stirling Island Man AS Splash

Do I ever LOVE this Island Man stuff’s scent - it’s an exact copy of the Virgin Island Water from Creed which is a gorgeous fragrance that I had a long time ago and the only thing that stops me from buying it again is the fact that it’s over $300 for a bottle. The soap gave me monstrous lather that had so much slickness as well as a soothing post-shave feeling. The Hydra Power moisturizer felt so good, and finally the Island Man aftershave went on with its magnificent scent - my wife loves it on me too so that’s a big plus. The Super Platinum blade is showing signs of fatigue but it still performed well enough to give me a great three pass BBS shave that was so enjoyable!

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

Wednesday morning’s Grand Freeze:

Cool shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Super Platinum day 11
MSC Frosted Lavender SS
Gold Bond Moisturizer
MSC Frosted Lavender AS Splash
Giorgio Armani Aqua di Gio Parfum

Man oh man is this Frosted Lavender stuff ever have a gorgeous scent and does it ever freeze a guy’s tukhis off. The soap is tallow based, its consistency is so similar to any of the Stirling soaps, the lather is sumptuous, the menthol sensation is incredible, and it’s so chock full of post-shave care. The Gold Bond moisturizer worked its cooling and soothing magic, while the Frosted Lavender aftershave added another heavy duty coating of icicles to my face - it has the same lovely scent as the soap and it never stings or burns because it’s witch hazel based. Finally the beautiful Aqua di Gio fragrance - my wife LOVES it on me. Three passes gave me such a great BBS shave that was so pleasurable!

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

Today's shave brought to me by menthol... pre-shave, soap, and aftershave splash all hand a nice dose of menthol. Today's high was 91° F with a heat index over 100° F🔥🔥🔥. The mentholated products made my face for nice and cold. The Gamechanger .76-P did an excellent job removing 2 days of growth. BBS Finish. 💖
