SOS: March 2019

Friday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Proraso Sandalwood
Jayaruh #313
Ever-Ready Little Lather Catcher
Gem Blue Star SE
CWR
Pinaud Clubman

My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Proraso Sandalwood Shaving Soap face lathered well with Jayaruh #313 mixed 70/30 badger/boar brush. I did two passes with the Ever-Ready Little Lather Catcher 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 Clubman AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

I'd like to know the amount of leather vs. that of tobacco in that soap. Or I should say "percentage".

 

I must say you used the right size brush for that Clubman soap.

 

Razor: General SE (@Str8on2)
Blade: Feather Professional (5)
Brush: Wild West Brush Works Diablo w/ Golden Nib Silvertip Grade A
Soap: Reef Point Soaps Admiralty
A/S: Floid Blue
Bowl: Symmetrical Pottery Dottie Blue & Lt. Purple

This is the third handle I've used on the General and the first 2 were excellent. This handle may not be to my liking, however, a few more used may change my mind.
Excellent 2 passes with a light touch up and I'm good to go.
The sap is running, I've seen 2 Robins and 1 Red Winged Black bird. The Canada Geese are filling the fields. Spring isn't that far away. So, I'm preparing for one last snow storm.

 

Nice Sheffield made razor today. I had a smooth 2 pass shave, that left me BBS without touch-ups. This brand of razor, is always a joy to use, and usually excellent quality.

Razor- Wade & Butcher. Sheffield.
Brush- JR#262.
Soap- Arko/Sandalwood scented

A 1912 and an Eufros soap, what a great way to wave goodbye to the working week.
