Sunday shave, Mar 08, 2020

Razor : Schick injector Canadian Variant E2- MFG 1930's- my first injector and one of the better models IMO.
Blade : Personna injector (7)
Soap : Razorock XXX- very nice in every way.

Pre-shave: Brush was my whole 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 XXX with witch Hazel + Nivea balm.
Results : CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers = very close shave-almost to close to my liking.

Palmolive Shave Stick

Nivea Deep After Shave

I got this on loan from @Jrdelgado while I work on it's case. And it was one of the smoothest shaves I've had. It took off a few days of growth with ease. This was a midnight shave and my face is still feeling BBS, real nice.

The straights are screaming Saturday.

The John Jay was an $18 antique shop rescue. My initial shave with this razor was a little needy. The Lovely Mrs Headroom was working today so I planned an edge touch up.

If someone had told me that one day I'd be using my thumbpad to evaluate the business end of a straight razor, I'd have laughed, yet here I am. Working only on a black ark with gun oil, I found after a full workout that a few trailing stokes to keen up this edge nice, followed by a some pasted balsa, then roo stropping. The thumbpad was good, and the shave test said I nailed it.

I find straights to be less aggressive throughout the progressive beard reduction, yet able to yield an equal finish that might be somewhat smoother. Very happy today.

Since dining out was planned for the Mrs. today, I chose the Et Tu combo from PAA. I absolutely love this scent which is claimed to be trued to the original Brut. The soap puffs a beautiful lather, and while the marketing says it is superior to a tallow soap, it is not as slick and carries a $$$ premium. It is not a re-buy for me. The Star Jelly is remarkable stuff that I super like. And, the scent of the splash is so good that I'm not really concerned if it's performance in skin care is lacking.

March 8 SOTD:

Razor: Tom White TAR
Blade: Gillette Nacet
Brush: PAA Atomic Rocket
Lather: MWF
Aftershave: The Veg
Additional Care:
Unrefined Shea Butter

I skipped yesterday, so I am only going to log two shaves with the brass TAR. I dialed it up to 4, which was the highest I had gone on the aluminum version, and was rewarded with a two pass BBS. Very smooth and easy. @twhite has definitely created a couple of excellent razors here. It is interesting between the two, as they shave similarly, but still differently. The Alumi-TAR is a bit milder with a little less blade feel, and the brass with the heft feels more aggressive. But, both are extremely smooth and comfortable. A bug thumbs up from me. I hope everyone has a great Sunday.

Sunday morning:

Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/Shark day 2
Stirling Sharp Dressed Man SS
Bull Dog Moisturizer
Max Disinfecting AS Splash

It’s been too long, in fact much too long since I’ve used my Sharp Dressed Man soap so I decided to pull it out this morning and I’m so glad that I did. Its scent is absolutely gorgeous - it’s a great copy of Creed’s Green Irish Tweed which is a fragrance that I love. I had lots of rich, super slick lather which felt great both during and after my shave. The Bull Dog moisturizer makes such a good balm, and the Max Disinfecting aftershave from Bulgaria smells very nice, it stings like hell for a second but then it gives a good soothing sensation. Three passes gave me a phenomenal BBS shave!

Enjoy your Sunday my friends!

The Cremo Shave Stick face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #387 brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gem Jr. Bar Lather Catcher with a Vintage Gem Cutlery blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Aqua Velva Musk AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

2020-03-08, Sunday

Today, as you can easily see from the wonderful photo that I deigned to publish, there is a bright sun in a clear sky that would have made certain fragrances absolutely unusable: so I was pleased to use a British classic.

And now I'm handsome and fragrant, with desperation of the female population from the province and the surrounding area who can't please their eyes with the sight of me.

Poor things...

SUNDAY'S SHAVE

Razor - Gillette Red Tip Superspeed circa 1955-1960 (Re-plated in Satin-Nickel Finish and re-painted tip in Radiant Red color by Razor Emporium.)
Blade - *2nd shave
Shave Brush - Ever-Ready 1960's vintage (Polished and re-knotted with a synthetic 26mm Ubersoft II knot from Envyshave by Razor Emporium.)
Shave Stand by by Desire Metal Works
Shave Soap - Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements - Cold Spices
Aftershave - Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements - Cold Spices
Deodorant - Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements - Cold Spices
Fragrance - Vintage Shulton - Early American Old Spice circa 1930's

***EDIT - Possibly the best shave I've had yet with the Red Tip. 2-pass + minor clean up. Zero irritation. 98% of my face is BBS with only a spot or two that could've used another few strokes of the razor. The Red Tip is aggressive, so I didn't want to chase the very minor spots and risk irritation. Very satisfied. I love the smell of PAA's Cold Spices. It's a better pairing match to the Early American Old Spice than the subsequent men's Old Spice version. Early American Old Spice was originally made for women, but seemed to be liked more by men so Shulton made the men's version, which, IMO smells nearly identical but with a slightly more rugged scent. Early American Old Spice, IMO, is the best Old Spice as it has an 'elegant' effect to it. But it unmistakably is more masculine-leaning than feminine. The spicy, ambery scent with a hint of rose. I think that's why the PAA version pairs better due to the hydrosol rose water in the aftershave. It tough for me to think that this scent was aimed at women because it's not feminine at all. It's an oriental spicy that I think is more fitting on a man.
