Saturday's Straight/SE Shave Proraso Pre Shave Tabac Shaving Cream Jayaruh #217 Gold Dollar 6/8 Schick G Personna Stainless CWR Thayer's Lemon WH Lucky Tiger I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Tabac Shaving Cream face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #217 synthetic brush. I did the first pass with the Gold Dollar 6/8 straight and finished with the Schick G and 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 Lucky Tiger AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

My sotd Razor - 1912 English Gem Blade - Gem (8) Brush - ever ready reknot synthetic Soap - stubble trubble Post - thayers medicated witch hazel Aftershave - pinaud lime sec This past week I changed my routine quite a bit. For the past month I've been getting a lot of razor burn. I've always chased the baby and some days I get it without issue and other days I get it with some burn. So since I was sticking to SE this month I decided to try something different. I started each shave ATG, and since my facial grows in all directions, I did 3 passes all ATG followed by one pass WTG for the clean up. I have to say I haven't been burned once this week. Today's shave is no different. I think the blade was at its end , but I'm bbs smooth. I love the scent of this soap and it performs well. The aftershave is musky from being a vintage bottle that I think has gone bad. But I'm starting to really enjoy it now.

SOTD SEptember 16, 2017 A Stirling SEptember Blade: GEM stainless Razor: GEM Pushbutton Brush: Jayaruh boar Lather: Stirling Pharaoh's Dreamsicle Post: Witch hazel, Stirling Pharaoh's Dreamsicle aftershave WTG, touch-up Enjoyed the Pushbutton today. Smooth shave. Will swap back to an injector for the next shave on Monday. I'm enjoying this month of great SE shaves from everyone! Have a great weekend!
Tonight's shave was with a fantastic Japanese Folding Kamisori. I had a very sharp and smooth 2 pass shave, that left me Samurai smooth. I had zero issues. This is a finely made, and heavy razor. Razor- Japanese Kamisori. "Suzuki No1". Asymmetrical grind, but I honed it Western style. This works out great. Brush- B400 By Tom(@twhite ). Boar hair. Soap- Stirling Glastonbury. Just finished the puck. I'm a fan of Stirling soaps, just not so much a fan of this one, for smell and lathering ability. Aftershave- Shulton Old Spice. NOS Ships Bell Decanter.
