Mon 23rd April

Omega 11126
OSP Bay run
Schick J3-golden 500
Schick Proline [ 7 ]
Pitralon Polar A/S lotion

I have always found the Golden 500 to be comfortable to Shave with, but used with this AC blade it moves on to a different level. Today had an extremely smooth and comfortable Shave, and without causing any problems managed to get an ultra close finish.

 

I never knew the FEATHERweight was a descendant of the cuckoo

 

Pre: Cold water face wash
Brush: Omega 11047 Boar/Badger
Soap: Stirling Spice
Razor: Gem Damaskeene
Blade: Gem Blue Star
Post: Cold water rinse, Old Spice ASL

First use of the Mixed Midget and after the Wee Scot it feels like a monster.
A little bit of scritch and it eats the lather but I'm sure both of these issues will resolve themselves over time.
The Dammo works really well with the extra length and weight the 1914 handle affords it.
A very nice start to the week indeed.
Happy Shaving one and all.

Menthol Monday's Shave


Proraso Pre Shave
C.O. Bigelow
Jayaruh #284
Darwin Hollow Ground Safety/ Schick E2
Darwin HG Razor / Schick Proline
CWR
Thayer's Lemon WH
Aqua Velva Musk

I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The C.O. Bigelow Shaving Cream face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #284 synthetic brush. I did two passes with the Darwin Hollow Ground Safety Razor with a Darwin Hollow Ground blade, and I just could not get a close shave. I ended up using my Schick E3 for clean up and ended with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Aqua Velva Musk AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Its been a while since I reported my shaves to the "SE PARTY" -
I had a Valet VC4 squirreled away and finally busted it out last week and I can hardly put the darn thing down !! Such a great razor.....

 

Battle of the Aluminum Artist blade razors . General vs. razorock

razorock is just too mild for me and takes more effort for my bbs - the GENERAL WINS!

 

Hey guy's, I just won a Pal Injectomatic off Ebay. It should be here by Saturday. I got it for less than $15.

A little Daylogic Brisk menthol in my Monday with the 1915 Kampfe/Star andd Colgate Barbershop Soap.

 

Razor: Gem Junior Bar
Blade: Gem PTFE Coated (1)
Brush: Whipped Dog 24 mm Slivertip
Lather: Arko Shave Stick
Aftershave: Mixture Aqua Velva Musk/Clubman/Lilac Vegetal

Aggression-wise this razor is on the opposite end of the spectrum from yesterday's 1914 shave, but end result was the same, BBS. Very mild, very forgiving, very nice.

Tues 24th April

RazoRock Plissoft 22mm
Cyril Salter Solid Soap
Schick Type F
Schick S/S single [ 7 -Japanese ]
Jaguar Prestige A/S lotion.

I find it hard to describe how the Type F Shaves, it might be said it is mild, I find it to be very Smooth and efficient. It certainly today provided me with a really satisfying and relaxed Shave, and I will say that my cheeks
have never been so smooth,with other areas being very close shaven.The blade used today works very well, but I doubt that I will buy more as they were brought in error a they are packaged like the Twins and are quite expensive. I will try out a Proline or NOS Schick.

Razor: Personna injector
Brush: Zenith B02 boar
Soap: Jeeves of Hudson Street Bay Rum

The Personna injector with Personna blade provided a fine shave this morning. It's certainly a mild razor but also gets the job done with ease. Have a great day!

Proraso Pre Shave
Tabac
Jayaruh #284
Darwin Hollow Ground Safety / Schick H1
Darwin HG Razor / Schick Proline B20
CWR
Thayer's Lemon WH
Aqua Velva Musk

I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Tabac Shaving Soap face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #284 synthetic brush. I did one pass with the Darwin Hollow Ground Safety Razor with a Darwin Hollow Ground blade and didn't seem to make a dent. I took the blade and stropped it on my big strop 40 laps on the linen side and 40 laps on the leather. I started a second pass, but there was not much difference. I ended up using my Schick H1 with a Schick Proline B20 blade to accomplish a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Aqua Velva Musk AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Brooks Brothers 1818

Pre: Warm water face wash
Brush: Wee Scot
Soap: T&H Sandalwood
Razor: DeHaven Model 3
Blade: Proline B
Post: Warm then Cold water rinse, Bart's Balm Rosemary & Sandalwood ASL

I thought I'd see how the DeHaven coped with >30hrs growth and it did pretty well.
It's a very smooth operator although not quite as efficient as a 1914, which was my initial thoughts but it took a bit more tidying up around the chin and neck than the 1914.
All in all a decent shave, finished off with the lovely smelling @BartsBalm ASL although personally I prefer the balm to the lotion.
Happy Shaving one and all.

Cold River Arctica soap and ASB
