Thursday's TESC Pre-Shave Oil Old Spice Lime SC Jayaruh #47 Synthetic GEM 1912 CVS brand SE CWR, Asma Alum Block Thayers Rose Petal WH Pinaud Clubman A note on these blades. They are the CVS brand blade. I believe they are the carbon steel Personna/GEM blade. I have been doing a belly strop with them this week. After rinsing the blade, I do eight strops on each side across my A-shirt covered belly. This completes the drying process to keep the blade from rusting. The Old Spice Lime Shaving Cream face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #47 synthetic brush. Two passes with my GEM 1912 razor and a CVS SE blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse and alum block, I finished off with Thayers Rose Petal WH and then Pinaud Clubman After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
Thanks - it was a great shave. The Merkur MII handle is really great to use - feels great and retains a lot of heat after having soaked it in warm water. Nice, close shave.
