    Proraso Pre Shave
    Williams Mug
    Jayaruh #222
    Gillette NEW SC
    Gillette Silver Blue
    CWR
    Thayer's Peach WH
    Pinaud Vanilla

    I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Williams Mug Soap face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #222 synthetic brush. I did two passes with the Gillette NEW SC razor 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...

    Pre-shave: hot shower
    Cream: Col Conk Southwestern Sun Shave Cream
    Brush: RazoRock Synthetic
    Razor: Gillette Tech
    Blade: Family Dollar DE blade (2) for the face shave
    Personna Blue (1) for the head shave
    Post-shave: Dickinson WH, Nivea Sensitive Post Shave Balm, Family Dollar Spice AS

    After several hours of yard work, prepping for the cold winter months on the way, I enjoyed a pleasant shave following a hot shower. I didn't use an open comb razor today so I could try out another razor I acquired last month... a vintage Gillette fat handle Tech ('38 - '45). I began with a face shave using a store-brand DE blade made in Vietnam. I did get a DFS after two passes, and a clean-up to the neck area, however there was a lot of irritation afterwards, which I suspected came from the blade and not the razor. So, I opted to switch blades for the head shave. I selected a Personna Blue (made in the USA) and it was an outstanding shave after that. Close, smooth, and comfortable.

    Enjoy your shaves, all!

    My Dad died today. His passing was a merciful blessing. I use his brush (passed down to him from his father) often, but today, I use it in his honor. I'll just post a pic of the brush for now. Tomorrow, I'll follow-up with the full gear pic.

    October 10


    Razor - Gem Micromatic Open Comb
    Blade - [​IMG] (1)
    Soap - Tabac
    Brush - Jayaruh #46
    Post - Alum

    Did I mention yet the Blues are 4-0? No? Well, they are. Just for the record. Now, on to the serious stuff. I had planned one more Shenanigan shave tonight, a challenge from @BearCWY but I haven't seen him around for a few days. I'll plan on taking on his challenge when I know he's able to follow along. So....not forgotten at all....just aiming for maximum effect. In the meantime I'm moving on through my OCtober razors and tonight a new one for me on its maiden voyage in my den. The Gem MMOC with Gem PTFE SE blade.

    To go with a classic razor I chose a classic soap. Tabac. Still one of my faves. The JR46 was fantastically easy to get loaded and the lather was glorious. Ready to give the MMOC a go. I've heard it's aggressive. And, after two passes and some touch ups I can say it isn't as bad as perhaps I had heard from a couple of reviews but it's no Super Speed either. The angle on this one is a bit different and the thicker SE blade sings like crazy. I can say, though, both from the alum and the after-shave feel, that it's easy to get irritated with it. The feel of the shave was really nice. Smooth, no blood, but my first run with it finding the angle consistently probably created some extra irritation. Hopefully I'll improve with it the next two shaves. No complaints and it's a very cool razor. I just need to get my technique set.

    Hope you are having a great week! I had my one day off today and back at it tomorrow. Shave on!
