Shaving recipe for today.

warm wet flannel to my face.

Pears ~ Transparent Soap.

Brush: Yaqi ~Sagrada Familia.

Face Lather.

Cream : SuperMax Classic.

Blade: Bolzano Superinox.(5)

Razor: Wilkinson Classic Premium TTO.

Warm wet flannel/ cold wet flannel to rinse my face.

Post:

Cold Water Face Rinse.//Homemade Lavender + Tea Tree Oil Witch Hazel Mixture./ Wilko ~ Aftershave Balm.

Blue Stratos ASL.

Greetings,

It's been a while since i last added the Supermax classic shave cream to my shave set up,i forgot how good this cream performs, it's slick protective and doesn't dry out on my face and leaves my face feeling hydrated and smooth..what more can i ask for.

5th and final outing of the bolzano superinox blade,with my new W.S. Classic Premium TTO,as a rule i normally bin a blade after a maximum of 4 three pass +pick ups shaves, but this newly tried out german made italian signora has impressed me with it's longivity, it still performed with sharp smoothness, showing no signs of dragging or tugging on it's 5th outing. I'm not going to bin it yet, i'll keep it for future shaves to see if it will still perform with the same smooth efficiency. I'm now convinced it will..A superb blade, which has made the last weekend of 2018 a pleasurable experience.

Another relaxing comfortable Sunday 3 pass + pick ups BBS shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with a generous splash of Blue Stratos ASL.


Enjoy the last sunday of 2018, ladies & gentlemen.

Prep: Valobra Glycerlanolina soap, Myrsol Emulsion
Brush: Paladin Lotus Select Badger
Soap: The Art of Shaving (NOS Tallow)
Razor: Feather AS-D2
Blade: Vintage NOS Wilkie Light Brigade (3)
Post: Thursday Plantation Tea Tree & Witch Hazel, CRSW Alcohol-Free American Barbershop Moisturising Aftershave
Scent: Barrister & Mann Leviathan EdT

First use of the AOS soap. The performance was very good, and its characteristics seem to confirm that this soap was indeed made for AOS by Valobra (as are the Czech and Speake soaps). The scent was a gentle natural sandalwood; perhaps it has faded a little over time. Very thirsty, and intensely thick lubricious lather with excellent persistence. Three very comfortable passes for a DFS+; the Leviathan's sandalwood notes providing a nice match for the soap scent.
