Saturday morning’s delightful Grand Freeze:
Cool shower
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/new Super Platinum
Stirling Glacial Electric Sheep SS
Gold Bond Moisturizer
Osage Rub AS Splash
Did I ever freeze my face off this morning - the Glacial Electric Sheep is the first and only mutton tallow based Glacial soap. Its scent is the same awesome blend of lemon, citronella and eucalyptus, the lather is superb, the slickness is terrific, the menthol sensation is so powerful that it feels almost borderline painful, in a good way, of course!) and the post-shave feeling is so comfortable. The Gold Bond moisturizer works so well as a balm, and the Rubby Dubby Doo went on frigidly cold. (I’ll soon need another bottle!) The new Super Platinum blade helped ensure a perfect three pass BBS shave that I enjoyed immensely!
Wishing you all a great day - be well and stay safe!

Saturday's Cold Water Shave
Cold Water Rinse
Williams Mug Shave Soap
Jayaruh #425 Synthetic
Schick Krona
Astra SP Blade
CWR
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Brut After Shave
I started with the cold water rinse. The Williams 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 Brut After Shave. I am now clean, smooth, and refreshed.
