Wednesday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Vintage Life Amalfi Basil Lemon Shave Soap
Jayaruh #454 Badger
Dad's Schick E3
Personna Injector Blade
Mennen Skin Bracer After Shave

The Vintage Life Amalfi Basil Lemon Shave Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #454 Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Dad's Schick E3 Razor and a Personna Injector Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Mennen Skin Bracer After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Without any doubt the Ti Blackbird provides the closest and most efficient shave of any razor I own! The other side of that coin is when I use it I have to pay attention to what I am doing. To those of you that are straight razor users I sometimes get “goose bumps” looking at your posts and thinking of how much skill you must have to safely and efficiently use that razor. God Bless you all!

Proraso pre-shave, House of Mammoth Sonder soap and aftershave, Ti two-tone Blackbird, Tatra platinum, HAGs Faceless balm. Flawless super close 2.5 pass shave. HoM has unique scents but Ben’s soap base is amazing.

Pre-shave; Warm shower, face rinse with MWF bar soap.
Brush; TroyCraft, Troymogue™ (Troy Made). TroyCraft Owner’s Club (TOC). Ebony, Huon Pine, Macadamia, Myrtle, Purple-heart and Wenge timbers for a Parquet styled handle, with a highly polished CA finish and a 25mm Oumo Ex Density ST-1 Synthetic knot. (Brush No 6)
Soap; Yardley, Vintage Green label.
Razor; Atelier Durdan, La Faulx ‘’The Scythe’’ AC razor with ++ plate. L.E 3/20 “Criniere Ardente” Fiery Mane.
Blade; Kai, Captain Titan Mild PINK.
Post-shave; My Concoction, No 2; Sauvecito Bay Rum 100mls, Witch Hazel 100mls, Moroccan Argan Oil 25mls, Bay Laurel Essential Oil 12.5mls, Vit E 5mls, Natural Plant Glycerine 2.5mls and 1.25ml of Tea Tree Oil Antiseptic (Thoroughly mixed together) aftershave/moisturiser splash!! ‘’Superb’’
Cologne/EDP;
Moisturiser;
Attar (Perfume Oil);
Shave; 3rd run with the new brush, again early but I know this knot will probably become my favourite and along with the handle design there will be a ‘’culling’’ of the rotation. Lovely 2 pass n touch up shave, so smooth with the La Falux, (smoothest razor to date for me) and the ++ plate is really efficient YMMV. Finished with the ‘’dual’’ splash/moisturiser. Superb.

SOTD - 7/24/2026

Ethos Grooming Essentials Vintage Lavender
OUMO shaving brush - Exceed 5 - T8 Tyrant Hand Tied Badger Knot 27mm
Urkunet Assassin Razor - 2.5mm Plate - Polished Finish - Kunwu Handle

From the Ethos website:

Inspired by a fragrance from another era, Vintage Lavender is a tribute to the timeless beauty of clean, powdery lavender. Soft notes of Organic French Lavender Essential Oil are complemented by the elegant powdery character of Organic Orris Butter Pallida, creating an aroma reminiscent of lavender sachets, fresh linens, and vintage apothecary shops. Comforting, refined, and quietly nostalgic, it is an Aroma Blend for those who appreciate the classics.IMG_3837.jpeg
