    Proraso Pre Shave

    Jayaruh #222
    Weck U.S. Military Straight
    Personna Super Stainless Hair Shaper
    Gillette NEW LC
    Gillette Silver Blue
    CWR
    Thayer's Peach WH
    Pinaud Vanilla

    I used my new to me Weck Sextoblade U.S. Military Straight for the first time. No stropping necessary. I used a Personna Super Stainless Hair Shaper blade. Then, for OCtober, I finished up with my Gillette NEW LC with Jayaruh handle.

    I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Soap Commander Renewal face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #222 synthetic brush. I did the first pass with my Weck U.S. Military straight with a Personna Super Stainless Hair Shaper blade and then clean up with the Gillette NEW LC and Gillette Silver Blue blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Peach WH and then Pinaud Vanilla AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Hi all, here's today's OC SOTD-

    [​IMG]

    Hardware-
    1920 Gillette Pocket Edition Ball End Old Type.
    Bolzano Superinox blade.
    Simpsons Special S-1 pure badger brush.

    Software-
    Taylor of Old Bond Street Traditional Luxury Shave Soap.
    Pinaud Clubman Special Reserve as splash.
    Nivea post shave balm.
    Vintage English Leather cologne.

    This shave was done with the very first Pocket Edition restoration I and my spouse ever did. It is a special razor set to me. Mainly because my lady helped me with it of her own accord. Also , we used the flag I saved from my grandfathers 1967 Chrysler Newport. It was one of those flags that attached to the antenna. It made a perfect liner for the lid. The razor itself is replated in shiny nickel. It is also one of my best shavers. So this thave turned out to be a two pass DFS. Thanks for your interest. Have a great day!

    ATT SE2.
    Feather Artist Club SoftGuard (2).

    Kwast: J&T® black walnut / APShaveCo synthetic STF 26 mm.
    TFS "Tabacco verde" Forte.
    Hawkins & Brimble ASB.

    Trying to find the right blade for the aggressive SE2.
    This combination razor/blade is much milder than the Feather Artist Club ProGuard blade.
    Both Kai blades (Kai Captain Titan Mild Luffy and Kai Captain Titan ProTouch MG) are more comfortable than this blade.
