Let's Do A Wool Fat Shave

Hey, I had an idea today. I thought I’d try a wool fat shave, but guess what? The wool fat shaving soap is discontinued, and prices are going through the roof! But here’s the good news: I still have my original puck! I bought it ages ago, and it came in a ceramic bowl and lid. I will show you how to use it to load the brush and then create a rich, creamy face lather.

Here was my course of action: Bloom for 2 to 5 minutes, take your brush and soak it in the bloom water, next use the bloom water to wet your face with it, then discard the rest. Now load the brush with the soap until it is full, and make a face lather. I have to say I'm going to miss this soap when it's all gone.

A Package From Pacific Shaving Arrived

So, Last week, a package arrived for me and it was from Pacific Shaving. I was surprised when I opened the package to see a natural cork-handled synthetic brush. It was so light that I had to get used to it, but I quickly developed a new technique.

Next in the package was a 7 fl oz Natural Shaving Cream, which states that a little goes a long way, and that statement is very true. It's a low-lather vegan shaving cream, but I found it to produce plenty of lather for my taste. This has plenty of slickness and glide, and the post-shave feel leaves your face feeling very smooth.

Shaving With Proraso Green or is it White?

I was sent this Proraso from a subscriber in Italy. This shaving cream is one of the best I've used. Its performance will never let you down. I always use shaving cream when I need to get the job done because I'm either tired or in a rush to do something else. This time, I was feeling a bit tired.

My prep was to wet the face, apply the cream onto a wet brush, mix it by hand at first, and then face lather, and this went off without an issue.

The feel and scent of the cream are amazing. I highly recommend it; the menthol is just perfect, not too strong but not weak, just the right amount. The post-shave feel needs to be experienced. I would recommend using an aftershave of the same product.

PORTHOS - New From Wet The Face

Introducing Porthos – A New Addition to the Three Musketeers Shaving Soap series from Wet The Face. Bold. Spirited. Unapologetically daring. loud, brash, and self-important. He is extremely vain and enjoys outfitting himself handsomely,

A cool breeze of eucalyptus follows, sharpening the senses and lending clarity, like a duel at dawn. The heart of the scent reveals warm balsam and rich leather, grounding you in confidence and courage. Finally, deep patchouli notes linger, evoking a noble earthiness that endures long after the blade is set down.

Porthos is for the man who laughs loudly, lives fully, and shaves like a musketeer.

All for one—and one smooth shave for all.

Shaving With Unforgettable

One of my favorite scents is Wet the Face, unforgettable. It's right up there with Thomas Shelby Signature scent. When it was first released, it sold out in 2 hours. I still can't get enough of it. This amazing scent is a woody blend of tobacco, amber, and oud, complemented by fresh notes of mandarin and bergamot.

The aftershave was the perfect ending to this shave, enhancing the scent to last a few hours past the shave was perfect.

Also, in this YouTube video, I saw a few movies and a new Netflix series, which are the following: Novicaine, Black Bag, Kinds of Kindness, Black Mirror Season 7

Quick Shave & Goodbye

This was taking place on Easter Sunday:

Feeling quite fatigued from today’s activities, I desire a brief shave to enable me to retire to bed promptly and awaken at 4:00 AM for Monday’s work schedule. I have chosen the Nancy Boy Signature scent shaving cream, which I intend to apply to my fingertips and gently massage into my beard.

If you were not aware, Nancy Boy has bid farewell to the Wet shaving community. Their establishment closed its doors in April, marking a significant loss. This particular shaving cream stands out as one of the most exceptional shaving creams I have ever utilized, exhibiting remarkable qualities in all aspects.

Let's Try The Pacific Shaving Company

Today, I'm going back 7 years to the Pacific Shaving Company, and if you've never heard of them, listen up. 

Pacific Shaving Company has garnered attention for its innovative approach to men's grooming, particularly with its caffeinated shaving cream and aftershave. These products aim to enhance the shaving experience by incorporating naturally-derived caffeine, known for its antioxidant properties and potential to reduce redness and irritation.​

This shaving cream is designed to invigorate your morning routine. The inclusion of caffeine serves as a vasoconstrictor, which can help reduce the appearance of redness and razor burn. The formula is enriched with organic aloe, shea butter, sunflower seed oil, and spearmint essential oil, providing a soothing and refreshing experience. Users have praised its ability to lather easily and provide a smooth shave, with some noting its effectiveness even on sensitive skin.
