Palmolive Cream-Italian today. 10 seconds to load the John’s Brushes Silvertip brush. Easy, thick, slick, lather. I loaded a new Schick Plus Platinum in the vintage Gillette 40’s Style Super Speed. Excellent smooth, close, shave. I finished with Pino Silvestre Underwood aftershave.

Mentholated M-Bomb Monday the 16th of Decadent December provided an excellent dome and face shave. The longer handle on this gold tone Gillette Black Beauty required choking up on the handle a bit to get the back of the dome done properly. This vintage Gillette is a P-1 dating to the first quarter of 1970. Set at 7, it delivered a satisfying blade feel and easily mowed down the whiskers. I’m really starting to like this Declaration Grooming Sellout milksteak-based soap. When treated with 5-6 drops of M-Bomb, it cooled and protected all shave areas very pleasantly. The result was a complete BBS that left me feeling clean, cool, very smooth and refreshed.

BLADE: Feather
PREP: Cold Water rinse of face and dome followed by a scrub with PAA’s Charcoal-Menthol Cube Preshave Soap 
BRUSH: Omega Pro48 Boar

SOTD Decadent December 16th


Stirling Mentholated Pre-Shave Soap
Yaqi Knight-Helmet
Zorrik Super Platinum
Stirling Butterscotch Fan (24mm, Frigate Class)
SP Dottie lather bowl
Stirling Iced Pineapple soap and AS

I had two first use products and a decadent favorite in my lineup today. First use of the Yaqi Knight helmet head. This is one menacing looking head, it has a huge blade gap and blade edge looks like it sticks out well past the guard. I loaded a new Zorrik Super Platinum blade and spent a good time making sure I had a super slick lather. A couple of careful strokes with the razor and I learned that I had nothing to fear. This razor does have a definite blade feel to it but it was not harsh at all. The Zorrik was a nice surprise also, plenty sharp and smooth cutting. This combo made for a really decadent shave and man-o-man can that Knight helmet deliver. Three passes to a face rubbing BBS shave. A generous splash of Iced Pineapple to keep the face freeze going with a scent that brings a smile to my face. What a great start to the week!

Have a great day my friends!
