Only two passes this morning because I had a nasty nick on my moustache area. I still managed to get a good DFS shave.

Have a nice Sunday my friends!

Great setup, Akhi. Sorry to hear you cut your upper lip. I assume you had to use an alum block or styptic pencil on it? Not fun. I hope it heals quickly.

Shavuah Tov!

Thanks Akhi!

It seems to have healed completely but did it ever sting like when I used the styptic pencil. It even made me a bit nauseous.

Shavuah Tov!

That's not fun. Glad it seems to have healed. Those styptic pencils are amazing. There's nothing like putting salt on your wound.

PM SOTD
Going out for the evening, and wanted to look presentable.
Basically only changed the soap/splash from earlier today's shave.
What better than a James Bond themed soap/splash for going out on the town?

Monday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Williams Mug Shave Soap
Jayaruh #425 Synthetic
Gillette New Improved Razor (1921)
PolSilver Super Iridium Extra Stainless Blade
CWR
Brut After Shave

This week I am shaving with my Gillette New Improved from 1921. When it came to me, the plating was almost all gone. I sent it off and had it freshly plated with rhodium.



I started with the cold water rinse. The Williams lathered well with the Jayaruh #425. I did one quick pass and touch-ups with the Gillette New Improved Razor with a PolSilver Super Iridium Extra Stainless Blade. After a cold water rinse, I finished with Brut After Shave. I am now clean, smooth, and refreshed.

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Now this is the way to kick off a new workweek! Returned to CBL and Chris's excellent "Hammam Spa" shave soap & tonic. Fantastic scent with a wonderful 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, the matching aftershave tonic, CBL Premium Barber Powder and Caron "Le 3e Homme de Caron" EdT.

BBS bliss!!

Hope you have a great day.

CBL Premium Shave Soap / Paladin / Rockwell / Wizamet / Thayers / Caron

Menthol Monday’s Crummy Experience:

Cool shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/7 O’Clock day 3
PAA Cold Spices SS
Lubriderm Moisturizer
PAA Cold Spices AS Splash
Stirling Spice Cologne

This bloody Cold Spices soap and aftershave refuse to die - it’s unbelievable. I loaded my brush for an extra ten or fifteen seconds and there’s still some soap left in the jar. Anyway, the menthol itself felt good but I don’t think I have to say how it screws up the Shulton Old Spice scent. Thank goodness that now the container won’t be around for much longer. The Cold Spices aftershave went on with a nice chill but then the menthol started killing the scent so I applied a little of the Stirling Spice cologne and that stuff made me smell delightfully Shulton Old Spice. This morning I had no issues doing my three passes and did I have a lovely BBS shave!

Wishing you all a great week ahead - be well and stay safe!
