Monday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
WSP Formula T Pumpkin Pie Shave Soap
Jayaruh #1 Badger
Gillette Goodwill Razor
Gillette Silver Blue
Aqua Velva After Shave

This week everything stays the same except the razor. I am using my Gillette Goodwill long comb that was made in England for the French market. For the business end, I am using a Gillette Silver Blue double-edge blade.

The WSP Formula T Pumpkin Pie Shave Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #1 Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette Goodwill Razor and a Gillette Silver Blue blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Aqua Velva After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Hi Friends,

Here my Sunday Shave (30.08.2026)

IMG_0837.jpeg
Razor: Mühle R89 Liscio // Blade: Gillette Platinum (2) // Soap: Mühle Grapefruit & Mint // Brush: Mühle SFT // Aftershave: Witch Hazel

This was a very fine shave. The R89 gave me a BBS shave in 3 joyful passes. The soap with it´s very natural scent produced a great lather with a lot of glide and cushion.

10 out of 10

Have a great time, enjoy your shaves and stay safe and healthy.

Greetings
Thorsten
 
Shave of the Week Starting 8/31/2026

Gillette New razor (shortcomb)
Astra SP Blade
AP Shave Co Cashmere brush
Col Conk Southwestern Sun SC
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
Assorted A/S

Every time I use the Col Conk SC I get a fine shave and it smells great. I think it is much overlooked product. All the rest of the parts liked each other and I started the week with a fine shave. Now go enjoy your day folks

SOTD - 9/1/2026

Ethos Grooming Essentials Mélange d’agrumes
Merkur 500 Progress With Antique Brass Knob Handle
Oumo Ding #2 - forest green resin with a 27mm Emperor E1 three band fan

From the Ethos Grooming Essentials website:

Sometimes a single extraordinary ingredient is all that is needed. Mélange d’agrumes showcases a beautifully fresh Ruby Red Grapefruit from Italy’s 2026 harvest. Bright and vibrant, with the natural sweetness, tartness and subtle bitterness characteristic of Ruby Red Grapefruit, it has an incredibly fresh and authentic character.

There is nothing complicated about this aroma—and that is exactly what makes it special. Freshly sliced Ruby Red Grapefruit, captured as naturally as possible.

Good post, accurate description. Grapefruit is my favorite citrus puck, and Frank's is the most realistic.

TOBS cream is synthetic but very pleasing. Wholly Kaw whiffed although I like the base. HC&C a solid puck
