Thank you, Tommy!
Cavendish is a favorite of mine.
A few of us in the 30DC are doing a No Repeat PAA to start the year. Eleven days in and none of us has repeated a soap yet. I still have a ways to go.

 

Let me think...
Notwithstanding acceptable area I do not have a guest room: when they built it, rooms were huge but not too many.
Ask him/her if he/she'd share my bed.
Ask him/her if he/she'd be available to cook breakfast and bring it to me.
Ask him/her if he/she'd be available to mind after vegetables in the garden.

I'll be waiting for your reply at your earliest convenience...

Strangelove Saturday
Superb shave today. I haven't used the boar in a while so it was a nice change. Strangelove yielded slick lather and the scent paired well with reserve classic. The Model T again provided smooth close comfort.

Rating: 5 / 5

Razor: Rockwell Model T
Blade: Rockwell Swedish
Brush: Stirling Boar
Lather: Dr. Jon's Strangelove, or how I stopped worrying and learned to love the shave
Aftershave: B-M Reserve Classic

 

SOTD, Sat Jan 11th-2020- I sure enjoy my Gem razors and chose my Push button Gem out of the wooden Gem rack for todays shave.
The Push button is one of the most attractive razors with the Gold and black combined that Gem MFG IMO. It is sort of a milder mid range Gem but with a 3 pass shave you can obtain excellent shaves that are hard to beat by any razor IMO. Had a excellent shave.

Razor : Gem Push button - MFG 1958-65
Blade : Gem Personna SS PTFE (7)
Soap : Razorock Irish County side -excellent lather properties mild scent that is nice.
Brush : Yaqi Rainbow 28 mm Brown whiskers
Preshave: Brush(Yaqi Casmire) wash my face with CeraVe hand bar soap + a dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on beard area
Prep : cold water rinse after each pass of 3.
Post shave : Razorock Emperor aftershave with witch Hazel + Nivea balm.
Results : CCS,DFS,BBs + minor irritation + 1 blemish weeper =


Have some great shaves!

 

Thank you, gentlemen.

 

Thanks Gary....as it transpired.....there very few razors to be found. I only saw a 1912 which I liked. It was in a lovely metal case.......but I have so many nice 1912s I really didn't need another

 

That soap must be a vintage one!
C&E has beautiful scents...
