    Shock, horror, the sun was shining this morning and so the Sun Ray was called for.
    Happy Shaving one and all.

  2. I've read about the Bunny razor sometime in the past. I my memory correct that Tom White was the inventor/maker of this razor? Is the razor on the market/commercialized?

    Cold Water Wash
    LaToja Shaving Stick
    Jayaruh #330
    J.A. Henckels
    J.A. Henckels wedge
    CWR
    Pinaud Vanilla

    My prep was just a cold water rinse. The LaToja Shaving Stick face lathered well with the Jayaruh #330 brush. I did two passes with the J.A. Henckels Safety Razor with a J.A. Henckels wedge blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Pinaud Vanilla AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Schick Injector (L-1)
    Schick Injector Blade (1)
    JR-336
    Stirling Spice SS
    Stirling Spice AS

    Had a great two pass shave yesterday and this morning. The Stirling Spice gave excellent cushion as well as being super slick as I almost dropped my Razor twice due to lather getting on my fingers. The JR-336 facelathered the Stirling Spice with no problems and the lather was perfect. Thank you Jim for making a brush that has just the right amount of backbone, this brush is awesome. Followed up my shave with a splash of the Stirling Spice AS and my face feels great with no irritation whatsoever.

  6. Nice looking setup Jim. What type of knot did you use in your brush?, and is it made with maple?.

  8. Thanks. The knot is a two-band badger, and the wood is oak.

    I haven’t quite dialed in this razor yet and it was a bit rough on my neck. Still happy I am using such a great piece of engineering history.

  11. Karl said it took him a few shaves to get his C dialed in...He was even thinking of retiring it...But when it clicked in...He says now it's one of his all-time favorite shavers !

    Schick J3- Golden 500
    Schick Proline [ 3 ]
    Floid Vigoroso A/S Lotion

    Today I did a follow up Shave to that of yesterday, this Golden 500 having a Schick Proline AC blade fitted rather than the Japanese Schick Injector blade. Shave wise it felt not too dissimilar to that of yesterday, smooth yet effective. The quality of the finished Shave was equally as good except on my troublesome lower jawline. I am quite pleased that I repurchased the Floid A/S as it has an invigorating kick and a pleasant scent.
