    Fri 24th March
    Vulfix 404 mixed
    Vitos Red croap
    Ever Ready 1914 Se- 12 tooth.
    Gem coated [ 2 ]
    Alum Rub/Rinse off
    Floid Vigoroso A/S Lotion

    No Choice but the ER 1914 , as Patent Anniversary day.
    I like razors generally to have a longer handle, but somehow manage to wield this little Travel Model to great effect. I did not shim the blade,
    and found the shave to be very smooth and comfortable, especially as the lather from the Vitos is slick and cushioning.

    Those who know and use this Razor, will not be at all surprised to hear that by taking my time I got a shave that few razors can equal. I think finally I have to rate the 1914 above the 1924 in terms of smoothness of use , but I like the challenge of the 1924.

    Gem Contour razor
    Gem Stainless blade
    WD Synthetic brush
    Taconic Eucalyptus Mint SC
    Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
    M&L Florida Water Cologne w/added menthol

    Just had to try the Contour again and again no joy. It's just to mild but I love the way it looks and feels in the hand. Oh well, there are others to use. Now go enjoy your day folks

    Derby Shave Soap
    Dickinson's Witch Hazel
    Pinaud Clubman After Shave

    First time using this brush, which has the same profile as some Made Rite and Rex handles. Good backbone, yet nice and soft creating a nice lather with the Derby soap. A very nice two pass and some touch up BBS shave today.

    It's been ages since I've used this awesome Permafrost stick. There's just a little bit remaining and I love the great lather, freeze, and skincare it gives. Once it's finished, it's finished. The Snake Bite is a terrific companion to this stick! ;) :D

    I broke my every other day rhythm today and used that as an excuse to break my run with the straights as well. This 1912 Treet has been calling to me for months and I finally heeded the call. I'd only shaved with it once before and it totally surprised me with how close it got. That was almost exactly one year ago.

    Today's outing had amazing reduction that would make the baby's butt on a dolphin seem rough. :rofl: However, last time I described the razor as mild. Today's shave was anything but. The alum bloc was screaming on my neck. Three reasons I suspect: I'd forgotten that I used to palm strop a new GEM blade before the first use to cut the harshness, the lather wasn't particularly protective, and my technique doubtless suffered after many months of being dormant. OK, maybe four reasons, I forgot to put a half shim in it. Nonetheless, I highly recommend this razor to anyone. :happy036:

    After shave and cologne agua brava
    The premiere of this beautiful brush that took more than two months to arrive, it is soft with good backbone, in addition to its elegant and ergonomic handle, that quick foam this soap that allows. That erotic razor, I say for being xxxx, leaving the ground ready for today Friday Venus, regular performance nuavia soap, the smell that reminds me of chewing gum, the agua brava ends up making it very enjoyable.
    Excellent day friends.
