Saturday Straight's SE Shave


Proraso Pre Shave
Jeff's Soap Shaving Soap
Jayaruh #213 Synthetic
Fredrick Reynolds 5/8
Schick G w/Personna Stainless
CWR
Thayer's Lemon WH
Florida Water

I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Jeff's Soap Shaving Soap face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #213 Synthetic brush. I did the first pass with the Fredrick Reynolds 5/8. Because it is SEptember, I did the second pass with the Schick G 66 with a Personna Stainless blade. I ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Florida Water. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

SOTD SEptember 2nd


Schick L1
Personna mini hair shaper
Stirling Mountain Man
Surrey W/ 24mm TGN 3 band synthetic

Had an amazing first shave this morning with the Schick L1. These Personna blades are very nice, just as sharp as the Chicks but maybe a tad smoother. I had so much lather that I did 3 passes and a little touch up and the baby was waiting! Love the scent of Mountain Man. Stirling SEptember is going to be a great month!

Have a great Labor Day weekend my friends

So far so good Andrew. We'll have to start getting the wood split and inside. It went down to 36F last night.

 

SOTD September 2, 2017

Blade: Schick
Razor: Schick G1
Brush: Artisan badger
Lather: Stirling Sharp Dressed Man
Post: Witch hazel with M-bomb, Stirling Sharp Dressed Man aftershave
WTG, XTG

G1 injector today. My favorite injector as it was my first but also is consistent and smooth as butter always. Really a joy to use.

Have a great weekend!

 

How do you like that soap Perry?

 

This was my first use with it, but like other Stirling products it is top-notch. I can't quite describe the scent but I know it's a clone of a Creed cologne. Slick and protective.

 

I love the scent of Fine Platinum which is also a take on Creed. I'll have to keep that in mind for Sharp Dressed Man. I enjoyed Stirling soaps but have had hit and miss luck with the scents.

 

SEtempber 2, 2017 Shave:

Pre-shave: Shower
Soap: VDH Deluxe + Cremo
Brush: VDH Boar... still shedding several hairs each time, but man it sure whips up lather!
Razor: Gem Micromatic Clog-Pruf (4th use this week)
Blade: Gem by Personna SE blade (4th use this week, probably the last)
Post Shave: Witch Hazel, Nivea Balm, Aqua Velva Musk

I'll need to change out the blade for next time. My problem area is the throat and when a blade gets dull I can tell by the irritation trying to get a BBS shave in that location. Otherwise, the blade worked well for both a face and head shave.... I had plenty of lather!

My wife graciously allowed me to use her recently completed "mitten bowl" as a background for this photo. We're both of Norwegian heritage and she is loves to practice the traditional folk art of Norwegian Rosemaling.

 

Sharp Dressed Man is a clone of Creed Green Irish Tweed. And Executive Man and Fine Platinum are both clones of Creed Aventus. Mountain Man it's also a Creed clone of Silver Mountain Water. They are all amazing scents!

SEPTEMBER 2
SE September shave #2

Hardware: MMCP, GEM SS ptfe, 30mm Maggard Tuxedo, Doug Smith shave dish/bowl.
Software: TSE Tallow soap Blood Orange, Astringent DG/Body, M&R Rose Water, Humphreys Citrus, Nivea 2in1 Aftershave lotion/balm.

First time out with the "Clog Pruf" and it was an excellent shave. Very efficient and comfortable 2 pass shave.

 

That is great-looking lather!

 

Good setup and photograph with a beautiful razor Gus.

 

Thanks Doug....

 

Hmmm... looks like I should get in on this with my GEMs, which shockingly haven't been in rotation for a good while.
You're a bad influence, @Jayaruh
But, I'm reserving the right to not use them every day in Sept. Just because.
