FFFMM 2024 SOTD

Brush: Shavemac Silvertip D01 16/47
Soap: Chiseled Face Natural
Razor: Yaqi SS Duomo on Chiseled Face Ti Industrial Handle
Blade: Vintage Polsilver Stainless (2)
ASL: Clubman Musk

A good shave.
But of course, it wasn't anywhere near "perfect." I intend to keep my "Shaving White Belt" on and look forward to improvements during the month.


Happy shaves guys.

After my great experience with Chiseled Face Cryogen shaving soap, I was keen to get the ASL. But of course, due to the stupid new laws (intended to keep us in fear [and have nothing to do with safety] IMO), Chiseled Face can't send ASLs over the pond.

I did some searching to see if I could buy Cryogen ASL here in the UK. I came up with ONE seller, desertcart.co.uk, but at £47 (~$59.50) for the 100ml bottle (which did include shipping and VAT) I decided to make my own:

and I'm pleased to say it's excellent (if you're a bit of a nutter, like me ).

Anyway, on to my SOTD:

Soap: Chiseled Face Natural

Boy, my new splash is something else! I love it.


Happy shaves guys.

That sounds like it would hospitalise me

I'm glad you're happy with your workaround though.

Cal, that handle looks amazing paired with the Duomo.

FFFMM 2024 SOTD

Brush: Shavemac Silvertip D01 16/47
Soap: Chiseled Face Natural
Razor: Yaqi SS Duomo on Chiseled Face Ti Industrial Handle
Blade: Vintage Polsilver Stainless (4)
ASL: Face Freezer [home brew]

A good shave.

To my surprise, the blade was a bit tuggy, even with wet (slick 'n' thin) lather. I still got a BBS finish, but I'll start a new blade next shave.


Happy shaves guys.
