Shave Den Sunday

Thanks, Doug! I wish you a great day as well.

 

Sunday Shave

Brush- Semogue 620
Razor- Ever-Ready 1924
Blade- GEM
Soap- Stirling Barbershop
Post Care- Crystal Alum
Thayers Witch Hazel
Osage Rub
Bombed Florida Water

My first shave with the 1924 and I'm very impressed. I had a hard time getting the blade to stay put but I adjusted the clips in the head and it held firm. Three passes today and I couldn't be smoother. I think the hair may have recessed a bit out of fear of this razor. Very efficient with wonderful blade feel and very audible feedback. I highly enjoyed this shave. I'm still trying to figure out the 620, I think I'm loading it too dry. I had a fairly thin lather when usually the Stirling is nice and thick. There are many differences between this brush and my synthetics, I just need to spend more time with it. Once I get it loaded with the proper amount of soap it feels good on my face and produces a nice lather. The alum was barely noticeable and the finish of Osage Rub and bombed Florida Water might be my favorite. Have a great day folks!

 

Good setup and picture. Thanks for your post.

Blade: Feather Hi Stainless Platinum (2)
Brush: Jayaruh JR #45 Walnut Honey Comb Handle w/ Ace Synthetic.

A fine shave today. Jayaruh JR #45 is an excellent brush. Starting to enjoy using a synthetic knot once in a while for a change.
The Timeless SS/OC is an excellent razor. I like their handles, however, I prefer the Hempel handles more.

 

Very good picture. The razor looks in great condition.

 

Great picture, Doug!

 

Looks like a million bucks in here!

 

Thanks very much for your kind words. I hope you had a great weekend.

Thank you @Douglas Carey for highlighting our great products!

And a special Thanks to @Queen of Blades! Two years of enjoyment, every single time. Makes me wish I'd switched years ago.



Best of luck!

 

As a result of TSD Shop closing I will no long post in Shave Den Sunday's after today. Thank you all for participating on Sundays, and for all your great pictures and posts of TSD products.

Razor: Gillette Super Speed Flare Tip TV Special (D2)
Blade: Personna Platinum (3)
Brush: Omega Professional 10098 Boar
Soap: TSD 2x Oakmoss Sandalwood
Aftershave: Myrsol Agua Balsamica
Excellent 3 passes with a minor touchup. I'm really surprised at how much I enjoy this razor and blade combination. I'm getting very close comfortable shaves every time.

 

I will be doing it though, as I still have about 2 oz. to go of my aftershave splash(with mint&menthol). But I can understand your position.

 

Thank you, Doug! I really enjoyed this thread. It didn't work out for me to shave today, but I would have used TSD products if it had.

I will use my remaining and incoming TSD products with pride!

 

how's the Stirling Unscented?
