Friday morning:

Warm shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Perma Sharp day 13
Stirling Spice SS
Stirling Spice ASB
Stirling Spice Cologne

This soap, balm, and cologne are heavenly - Shulton Old Spice all the way. I don’t think I could have enjoyed a shave more than this one and three passes left me mega BBS - wow!!!!!!

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

Friday 5/29 Shave
MODERN MAY

I find this IBC clone works best when used like a Kamisori
The tang is very slippery – having the handle locked straight helps grip
This is one of those razors I initially did not like but found my way back to it
Overall a very satisfactory BBS shave result in two passes

Razor: Gold Chinese “IBC Clone”
Blade: Feather AC Pro SoftGuard (3X)
Clean Up: RazoRock HAWK V2
Lather: Stirling Sample Mash Up
Brush: Ever-Ready No. 150 Vintage Boar
Post Shave: Lustray Blue Spice Splash
Post Shave: Williams Aqua Velva Ice Blue

It’s surprising because India puts out so many great creams but Vi John is a big dud.

I have the Vi-John LIME - very sweet and artificial scent - like candy - stuck it in the shower rack and a little dab makes a huge shampoo lather LOL Waste not, want not I guess.

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Another "Best Shave of the Week" candidate this morning. Returned to ETHOS and Frank's excellent "Lavender Suprême" shave soap & splash. Fantastic natural Provence lavender scent with an incredibly thick and slick lather built with the WWBW badger brush for three passes with the Karve and I finished with alum, followed by Thayers unscented witch hazel, the matching skin food splash, CBL Premium Barber Powder & Czech & Speake "Oxford & Cambridge" EdC.

BBS bliss!!

Hope you have a great day.

Spectacular shave Akhi! At some point I would like to experience a Shulton Old spice shave. Shabbat Shalom!
