Prep
M-keramiek scuttle
Omega 98
Cella shaving soap
Luckhaus & Günther straight razor
Proraso alum
Humphrey's cucumber mellon witch hazel
La rive cabana, De vergulde hand balsem
The razor was already good, but was curious what would happen if I did a touchup on this piece of thuringer. That delivered a very nice shave.

Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/Astra Green day 9
B&M Hallows SS
Bull Dog Moisturizer
Bleu de Chanel AS Splash
Bleu de Chanel EdP
My good friend Ignaz sent me this lovely soap with a bunch of other great goodies last year and I really love it. Although I can’t describe the scent I think it’s very beautiful, the lather is super rich, it has excellent slickness, and the skincare is fabulous. The Bull Dog moisturizer works so well as a balm, and the Bleu de Chanel aftershave along with the matching eau de parfum had me smelling delightful. Three passes left me with a gorgeous BBS face!
Be well and safe!

Wednesday morning’s Grand Freeze:
Stirling Mentholated Pre Shave Soap
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/Astra Green day 10
Stirling Glacial Margaritas in the Arctic SS
Stirling Glacial Unscented ASB
Osage Rub AS Splash
Christian Dior Eau Sauvage EdT
My face is so frozen from three passes with the Glacial MITA that I think it’ll need all day to thaw out - this soap has three times more menthol in it than the regular version which is also plenty cold. The scent and lather are exactly the same - in other words they’re awesome, and so is the skincare. The Glacial Unscented balm and the Osage Rub aftershave added their own wonderful iciness and soothing. Another cracker of a BBS shave!
Be well and safe!

Last evenings shave
Prep
M-Keramiek scuttle
Yaqi Mokka express badger
Arko shaving soap
Universal shavette + Lord class stainless steel
Muhle Rocca R94 + Tiger platinum
Proraso alum
Humphreys cucumber mellon witch hazel
Reuzel AS, De vergulde hand balsem
First pass with the shavette. I'm searching for a good blade in the shavette. Rocca used for cleanup. The tiger doesn't feel smooth in the rocca, but clean shaven anyway. Alum sting wasn't present.
