Monday DECember 9

Up today is a razor I'm using for the first time, a 1921 Gillette Bostonian. Definitely a DECadent shave.

Bowl/Scuttle - GP12
Soap - MWF
Brush - Rubberset 400-3
Blade - Feather HI SS (2)
Razor - Gillette Bostonian 1921
Post Shave - OSMA Pierre alum, Pinaud Lilac Vegetal A/S

Shave rating 5 of 5

This razor has been sitting in its case for a while unused. Not sure why I didn't break it out for OCtober, well here it is. Paired with an almost new Feather blade and this is, surprisingly, a pretty aggressive shave. It gave me a 2 pass (WTG, XTG) BBS shave with 1 small weeper and a small amount of neck irritation. The MWF provided a nice thick, slick, lather as usual for the shave. The Rubberset 400 is a little floppy and a little like using a paint brush but I like using it once in a while. The alum was vocal on both sides of my neck. Finished up with the Veg!

Happy DECember and great shaves everyone.

What a great soap this LPL, lather foam and stratospheric slip aroma, a pity that it was a limited edition.

Razor Genco with custom scales

Brush Jayruh number 48 with some sort of pilsoft knot. It builds leather and just keeps building it. Love the brush and knot. He makes some nice brushes and very inexpensive for a custom wood handle. It right up there with my two brushes from Graydog i had 3 from graydog but my brother fell in love with one so without a second thought gave it to him since he has always been there for me. and my Lowborn brush.

Proraso red cream

Whiskey woods aftershave

Tony Miller Steerdovan strop that I won after the pass around. An amazing strop by a great guy. If you dont have a Tony Miller strop I highly reccomend getting one. You will not be disappointed. For most of my razors I like it better than the katayama 70000, the red imp 700c, the dubl duck special no 1, the scotch lassie, the Koken, the C-MON 414, and the Kikuboshi stop.

Sorry for the long description. Trying to keep my mind off my father's funeral service this coming saturday.

Prep: Valobra Glycerlanolina soap,Antica Barbieria Colla Almond Oil Pre-Shave Cream
Brush: Semogue Owners Club Boar
Soap: Shaver Heaven Arctic Mango
Razor: Merkur Futur (2)
Blade: Polsilver Super Iridium (4)
Post: Thayers Cucumber Witch Hazel, Antica Barbieria Colla Almond Oil Balm
Scent: Alt Innsbruck Cologne

Back home, and true to my promise, whipped out a mentholated soap to provide some relief from the current heatwave.
Shaver Heaven Arctic Mango is still in my top 5 soaps - I love everything about this soap.
Back on home turf and with the full prep, the shave was a dream. Three comfortable and efficient passes for a BBS result.
A secondary menthol hit from the Alt Innsbruck was a delightful conclusion.

Greetings,


Early morning shave.

It's only in the last few months i introduced myself to the clubman pinaud shaving soap. I personally find it has a gentle pleasant fragrance which isn't in your face, creates a protective lather in a short space of time, has great cushion & slickness.

A wonderfully smooth 3 pass + pick ups near bbs shave with no errors to report.

Finishing to the shave off with a generous Splash of Denim ASL.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling devine.

Enjoy your day, ladies & gentlemen.

Cooooold shave on this 10th morning of Decadent December! I’m still recovering! This Cryogen soap is unbelievably mentholated! Wow! Definitely not a daily driver soap, but I can say it is a combination Arctic-like/Tear gas tunnel level of refreshing. I’ve had to keep my eyes closed for about 10 minutes after the shave from the menthol fumes! Great three pass head and face DFS with my Gem G-Bar. Ten minutes after the shave the fumes dissipated enough
for me to keep my eyes open. I’m now definitely refreshed, smooth and ready for the day!
