Thursday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Mitchell's Wool Fat Shave Soap
Jayaruh #277
Darwin-Stoll Jr. 3D
Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade
Cold Water Rinse
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Aqua Velva Musk AS

The Mitchell's Wool Fat Shave Soap face-lathered well with Jayaruh #277 Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Darwin-Stoll Jr. 3D razor and the Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Aqua Velva Musk After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

The Holy Black Artisan Line Shaving Soap and Aftershave Tonic
Paladin Shaving PK-47
Razor by Rod George

From The Holy Black website:

Gunpowder Spice is exactly what it sounds like, a mix between the classic spicy scent with the added aroma of freshly fired black powder. The smokiness of the black powder mixes well with the spices you remember from when your grandfather splashed it on.

This stuff is magic. We make this in microbatches, 60 pieces at a time. A soft soap like this takes attention to detail and can't be mass produced. If it's in stock, we highly suggest you try some out.

Legendary lather performance
Slicker than you thought possible
Only 6 ingredients
One tin = over 100 shaves
Artisan made
Requires Shaving Brush

Soap Palooza Sacred Champa
Brush by Grizzly Bay
Alpha Outlaw Evolution Bronze Special Edition Razor

From the Soap Palooza website:

Step into the smoke‑soft glow of an incense‑lit sanctuary. Sacred Champa captures the unmistakable aura of true Nag Champa — warm sandalwood, golden resin, and that sweet, meditative floral haze that feels both ancient and comforting.

Its creamy vegan lather builds effortlessly, offering a smooth, cushiony the scent blooms as you work the brush, filling the room with a calm, spiritual warmth that lingers long after the razor is rinsed.

A peaceful ritual. A timeless aroma. A shave that feels sacred.

Soap & Splash: Stirling Soap CoSharp Dressed Man
Brush: Turningz by TanZ, 26mm treated boar
Razor: Karve Bison
Blade: Gillette 7 O’Clock Yellow (1)

Sharp Dressed Man was one of the first artisan soaps that I got. It’s such a good scent. I used it very often in the beginning and it was the first soap I actually finished a while back. I finally got around to getting a refill puck from Stirling and I’m very glad to have it back again. Take care folks.5C2BE381-BAFA-40A2-9FD8-24896CA4D2F4.jpg

There's the Black Mamba! Tom, I feel like you were just checking to see if I was paying attention. It's absolutely amazing that you have both the Stealth and Black Mamba. If only I had gotten into wet shaving a few years earlier !

When you mentioned it, I figured it deserved to make an appearance. 😇

I haven’t purchased anything in a long while, but I really enjoyed what Razorock was doing. Razors, brushes, soaps, splashes… cool stuff!
