ASL: Orange FREEZE [home brew]

A very good shave.

My new OAM soap gave a great (albeit different to what I'm currently used to) lather, I'm not so sure about the scent though (could anything replace my beloved TFS?). I'll certainly give it a few more shaves before making any decisions.

The soap jar came as a bit of a shock (being glass and) weighing in at 525g (1lb 2½oz). It's the largest I've come across too, measuring 112mm (4⅜") in diameter and 54mm (2⅛") high.

My home made ASL wasn't too sure about mixing with the OAM soap scent... but the rest of the gang were perfectly happy, and they all did a great job.


Happy shaves guys.

Awesome quality from the cream. Pleasant scent, very easy to create a creamy and super slick lather...
Shave with razor paired with this favorite blade was awesome as well. So smooth and comfortable for 3passes without any issues for a mostly bbs glass feel finish. Cooling aftershaves were excellent on this oven-hot day as I will be working directly under the sun for most of the day...

Wednesday shave

Prep: Noxzema
Soap: Eufros Tierra Humeda
Brush: Vie Long Silvertip
Razor: Fine Marvel, #3
Blade: Astra SP, #3
Post: alum -> Pinaud Clubman Virgin Island Bay Run aftershave

Back to the Fine Marvel after being on the road for a few days with a Gillette Sensor. Almost a full 48 hours of growth to plow through tonight and the Marvel mowed it all down with zero issues: no feedback, super comfortable. This was a 10 out of 10 shave tonight. Razor to soap/lather to brush to aftershave--simply fantastic!

Fabulous performance from the cream. It's a nice cooling, creamy and slick lather...the brush is like a dream, feels sooo good on the face...plush and soft!!
The shave with this razor paired with the blade was another perfect combination. Very easy, smooth, and comfortable in 3passes for a mostly bbs result. Aftershaves were awesome for another hot day.

 

[Chard52142]

Sun, humidity, heat... Hydrate, lots of water my friend.

Hey, thanks and appreciation for your concern. I am staying hydrated with water mixed with hydralyte. Today was another hot day but as usual in this part of the world...a sudden tropical thunderstorm put's a dent in the work schedule...hahaha!

Greetings,

Early morning shave,

The Katana/Voskhod T.C. 'Snapped in 1/2' duo is the best match I've had to date each shave throughout the week has been smooth and comfortable...I intend to carry on with the Voskhod T.C. blade next week to finish my run of Russian DE blades...I have some Chinese Gillette London Bridge & Super Blue blades that I've had for a while but have yet to try out.

My humble shave sticks, provided me with some excellent lathers throughout the week. The Boots stick has a nice fresh fragrance which build a slick protective lather in a short space of time leaving a wonderful post shave feel.

A Enjoyable 3 pass + pick ups close pleasurable shave with no errors to report...Finishing the shave off with a small dollop of Boots Freshwood ASB.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling divine.

Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.
