Terrific Hussy shave. What a great razor! Enjoy your day.

 

Friday's Shave


Cold Water Wash
Arko
Jayaruh #340
TNNSER
GEM Blue Star SE
CWR
Pinaud Special Reserve

My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Arko Shaving Soap face lathered well with the Jayaruh #340 badger brush. I did two passes with the TNNSER razor with a GEM Blue Star SE blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Pinaud Special Reserve AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Two new products for today's shave!
See the video to learn more about the Cremo soap!

Friday 25th January



Pears Glycerine Soap
Clubman Shave Butter as a preshave
Stirling Scots Pine Sheep Soap
Simpson Wee Scot Brush
Claymore V2 on a Windrose Handle with a Kai Mild Blade
Thayers Witch Hazel
Dove Moisturiser
Clubman Whiskey Woods AS

A nod to our Scottish Colleagues as tonight is Burns Night. I am on night shift tonight with a 'Bonnie wee Lassie' from Scotland. Due to difficulty in sourcing alcohol free Whisky and Vegetarian Haggis.....the height of our celebration may be dancing round crossed penknives.
My first use of the Wee Scot. I have had it for years but never took it seriously enough to use it until today. Most definitely up to the task....but not something I would reach for very often.
2 passes with a touch up for a perfect shave.

 

Schick E3 razor
Personna blade
Vie-Long Silver Tip brush
Fume SS
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
Colorado Sage cologne

Couldn't resist using the E3 again, it's a wicked good razor. Got a great shave and my face is very happy. Now go enjoy your day folks.

Sat 26th Jan

Jayaruh No67 Syn.
Tabac soap
Ever Ready Streamline
Gem S/S [ 1 ]
Tabac A/S Lotion

As a follow up to a great AC/SE Shave, the Streamline was a good choice. This is a Razor I learnt to shave with when I started SE Shaving. Treated with care and a light touch it delivers a superb finish, it is my favourite Vintage SE.

Buenos dias!!

- Yaqi Rainbow 26mm.
-Tilt T3.
-Personna injector #1.
-DOC Chinese handle.
-Baili Blue #1.
-The BodyShop cream.
--Alum Stick, DIY Lotion, Mildeen Balm.
-5/5 Tilt T3 is a good tool once the problem of misalignment of the blade is solved. It is light and delivers a comfortable and effective shave with no effort (it has a bit of aggressiveness, after the ATG pass I found a couple of tiny blood spots).

Un saludo!!

Sun 27th Jan. - ER 1912 Patent Anniversary & Travel Shave !

Omega 10065
Haslinger Honig
Ever Ready 1912
Gem S/S [ 2 ]
La Toja A/S Lotion

Was away for the weekend, so Bathroom conditions were not really conducive to a great Shave, with a 1912 that was an earlier model than the one that I normally use. It felt a little harsh compared with my usual one, so I did not push for anything more than a passable Shave. After yesterdays great Shave with a Streamline this was a bit of a comedown.
