SOTD May 2026

[8th Night]

Tuesday morning - my birthday shave:

Cool shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Perma Sharp day 10
Stirling Glacial Mango Sunrise SS
Bundubeard Stoffel ASB
Floid Vigoroso AS Splash

Wowwww, what a great Grand Freeze this was - when Rod and Mandy make stuff they put the right ingredients into them and a lot of love. Three passes knocked off my tough stuff and gave me a fabulous BBS shave that was such a pleasure!

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

What an awesome birthday shave, Akhi! Happy birthday Jeff, I hope you have a wonderful day celebrating.

I put a sample size of that Glacial Mango Sunrise in my cart the other day as I prepare to make an order.

You actually have to be more careful with the Futur than the Straight
One clean up pass with the Merkur was BBS nirvana

Clean Up: Merkur FUTUR Razor/Dorco Titan
Lather: KENT Luxury Shaving Puck

Post Shave: L T Piver Heliotrope Blanc Lotion

I just bought a puck of Kent soap. I haven't tried it yet. It's my understanding that it is sans tallow, but does have lanolin. I look forward to trying it. How close is it to the non-tallow MWF?

SOTD
A nice, demure soap and splash. (**Though I did add menthol crystals to the splash, and have overly used it since last summer. Double application, and now my bottle is completely depleted. I'll have to purchase another, but it's currently out of stock)

Tabac Tuesday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Tabac Shave Soap
Jayaruh #425 Synthetic
Schick Krona
Astra SP Blade
CWR
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Tabac After Shave

I started with the cold water rinse. The Tabac lathered well with the Jayaruh #425. I did two passes with the Schick Krona razor with a Astra SP Blade. After a cold water rinse, I finished with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Tabac After Shave. I am now clean, smooth, and refreshed.

Thanks.

I agree with you regarding the scent from Old Spice Lime.
