Shave of the day, 3rd July 2020, Ginger’s Garden Eau Sauvage

Pre-Shave : Shower
Brush : Oumo SHD Silver Tip Badger
Soap : Ginger’s Garden Sauvage
Razor : PAA Copper Ascension w/Feather Blade
Post Shave : Thayers Witch Hazel (Lemon)

Simple work day shave. Will be hot, sweaty and lots of physical stuff. So keeping it simple.
Irena’s take on the older scent is good and while it has less of that ambroxan note with a little more citrus and florals but anyone using the 2015 ambroxan bomb will feel at home with the scent.

The Ascension with a Feather worked as expected.
Easy perfect glass BBS shave.

Shave of the day, 2nd July 2020, Long Rifle Saranac

Pre-Shave : Shower, Proraso Green Pre-Shave
Brush : PAA Peregrino
Soap : Long Rifle Saranac
Razor : Tatara Masamune Base Plate + Nodachi Top Cap + Rockwell 6S Handle w/Feather Blade
Post Shave : Aqua Velva Classic
Others : Menthol Grinder

Scent profile for the soap was Pine, Juniper and Snow. However, there is no menthol in it.
So it is not a cool or “fresh” feel / scented soap.

By default it smells like slightly brackish, wet woods, snow melt river.
Lather is fantastic, but if going by the scent, if you are a “freshie” scent lover, this may not be one for you.
Sample first if you can.

So yeah, had to go with Proraso Green Pre-shave, grind in some menthol and end with Aqua Velva for that fresh, snow melted woods feel.

Went with the Tatara Masamune Plate with a Feather. This guy needs a little more care and work but with a little skin stretching and its an easy one and a half pass plus Pick up, clean, glass, non-irritation BBS shave.

Shave of the day, 1st of July 2020, WTF Mr Warlock

Pre-Shave : Shower, Proraso Green Pre-Shave
Bowl : Van Yulay Resin
Brush : Friendship Shaving Macy Dual Band Badger by Frank Shaving
Soap : Wet The Face Mr. Warlock
Razor : Blackland Vector w/Unbranded Blade
Post Shave : Wet The Face Mr. Warlock Aftershave

Bring on the Chill! WTF Mr. Warlock is one of the best “normie” menthol soaps. Its not crazy high in menthol, just a tad above Proraso Green, scent is Peppermint Eucalyptus and it’s aftershave gives you even more of a lasting chill which is awesome!
If you hate menthol, this is not for you, but anyone who likes that cool freeze, this is definitely one to try.

Soap is a soft croap, so its very easy to finger scoop a little into a bowl. and it creates good top notch lather.

Reached for the Vector and used some freebie unbranded blades. Not the smoothest of blades but it does the job and the Vector manages it wonderfully.
Along with a great lather, it was an easy, clean, perfect BBS shave.
