SOTD August 18, 2018 Prep: Cold water and Stirling mentholated pre-shave soap Blade: GEM PTFE Razor: Superior Lather Catcher Brush: Satin Tip 'The Purest' synthetic Soap: Palmolive shave stick Post: Witch hazel, Brut aftershave Terrific shave with the Superior lather catcher. Smooth and easy to use. Great SE razor and I'm glad to have one now. Jayaruh made me a new handle to go with the razor to replace the metal handle that didn't match. Very nice all around. Have a great weekend!

I own the aluminum RazoRock Hawk V2 and The aluminum Colonial General. I used both for a few days, both had Schick Proline blades. I love the look and design of the HAWK V2 but it was just a little too mild for me, the design is so good that it tames a very sharp blade, this would a great beginner razor. The Colonial General has more blade feel and it is simply an amazing razor. 8/14/18 SOTN. 8/15/18 SOTN.
AUGUST 16, 2018 - SOTN A DRAKKAR NOIR SHAVE - I acquired a PAL adjustable a year ago & finally used for the first time, Fun shave! but I still like the injecto-matic better - I used the middle setting, next time I will go with the most aggressive setting. Peace, Jamie
August 17th - Shave of the Night! Lather Bros. continues to release cool new scents & there really making fun and cool labels! There tallow soap is just great & there thick and cooling balm is in my top 3 for artisan balms (Soap Commander, PAA star jelly, & lather bros are my favorites). I got another Lady Everysharp - for under 10 bucks! and it came with the Blannk/dummy blade - so this was a virgin razor until last night - as always it was a great shave and the vintage schick chromium was perfect - the plus platinums feel sharper for me & I think the chromiums were the bargain blade that schick offered back in the day? either way its still a great blade - Peace, Jamie
I see some beautiful shaves. Signature shave for me tonight. Vintage Williams this time. I am back on nights and started with the new company. woo!
Pre: Cold water face wash, Brush: S-j Panga Panga 26mm ST Cream: T&H No.10 Razor: Blackland Sabre L2 Blade: Pal Super CS Post: Cold water rinse, T&H No.10 PSB To paraphrase Bono, Sunday Cloudy Sunday, all the same a very nice shave ensued.
Sun 19th Aug Omega 11126 P & B Spitfire Supply V1 & V2 No 3 plate Schick Proline [ 2 ] Tuff Red A/S Lotion Skipped my usual Injector Shave and used this modern version. With a revised No3 plate I get a good shave but not outstanding, and actually prefer using my Vintage favourites, though i suppose the "O" clone is not Vintage.
SE Sunday's Shave Cold Water Wash Williams Mug Shave Soap Jayaruh #270 Gem Junior Bar Lather Catcher Original Gem Cutlery SE CWR Tabac AS My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Williams Mug Shave Soap face lathered well with the Jayaruh #270 brush. I did two passes with the Gem Junior Bar Lather Catcher Razor with an Original Gem Cutlery SE blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Tabac AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
You can't go wrong with that setup. Congrat's on the job with the new company. Clayton Sent from my LG-K450 using Tapatalk

The Schick B was like a cow munching hay..... outstanding in its field. The Erasmic is older and a very solid soap with the Vie Long Horse. Stetson is of course awesomelicious.
Mon 20th Aug RazoRock Plissoft 22mm P & B Pall Mall PAL S/S Adjustable Schick Proline [ 7 ] Myrsol Antesol A/S Lotion After the Supply SE followed it up with use of a PAL Adjustable, a long time favourite injector of mine. I reckon that the design of the Supply is inspired in many ways by this and the Personna S/S injector. I had not used the PAL for some time and quite enjoyed its use, and the quality Shave it delivered. These days I am tending to favour use of the larger AC/ SE as I like the feel of their broader stroke,as despite their size I have no problems Shaving in tighter areas such as around the upper lip/nose.
Pre: Cold water face wash, Brush: Semogue 1470 Boar Soap: B&M Rosemary & Peppermint Razor: DeHaven Model 3 Blade: Feather Pro Post: Cold water rinse, Epsilon Med Blue ASL This little razor is a joy to use, very nimble and very ergonomic.
SOTD August 20, 2018 Prep: Cold water and Stirling mentholated pre-shave soap Blade: GEM PTFE Razor: Superior Lather Catcher Brush: Stirling Kong synthetic Soap: Stirling Glacial Lemony Orange Post: Witch hazel, Stirling Glacial Lemony Orange aftershave Not quite as efficient today with the Lather Catcher. Not sure why. Could've been simple Monday morning grogginess. Needed a little more clean-up than usual but ended up with a nice shave. Enjoy your day!
