MMMonday April 13th 2020, Its going to be a A.S.R. family offspring shave with the Star bar #4 and like usual it gives me the type of shave I like and shaving with a 100 year old razor is a blast from the past.

Razor : Star bar #4 lather catcher- MFG 1920-(Kampfe brothers- A.S.R "Star brand"umbrella of company's) great razor! Kampfe brothers were producing the first safety razors produced in the USA over 20 yrs before Gillette & Gem even exsited!
Blade: Gem Personna SS PTFE (4) best blade to shave with IMO.
Soap: Razorock Santa Maria del Fiore "Firense" very enjoyable soap to use with excellent lather qualities!
Brush : Yaqi Tuxedo knot 24 mm with black marble handle- one of my favorites!
Pre- shave: Shower with CeraVe face scrub+ a dollop of clear Aloe vera gel on beard area.
Prep: cold water rinse after each pass of 3.
Post shave: AVON " True gent" cologne with witch hazel + Avon True Gent balm- I really like the balm-Home run IMO!
Results: CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers = excellent shave and hit my target sweet spot.



Have some great shaves!

Just dug out my old bottle of Euro Avon Imperator. Bright, clean, citrus/spice/slightly floral with none of the usual musk base they had in the '70s. Unique for an Avon, good stuff for over 50 years old.

Avon April shave 17
Brush: Heritage Collection Shaving replica Klenzo with 26mm tuxedo knot
Razor: 1946-47 Gillette Super Speed
Blade: Elios
Soap: Crabtree & Evelyn West Indian Lime
Aftershave: Avon Blue Blazer
This was my first shave with the C&E West Indian Lime soap and I am very pleased with this soap. It's very easy to build a nice, dense, creamy lather with this soap. This soap is also very slick; I felt no drag from my razor on my face. It just glided along for all 3 passes. The scent is great as well; a very nice lime scent that's not too overbearing. All in all it was a grand shave. Good shave good day everyone.

 

Nice topic Angelo definitely need to get me some Avon.

Today I got in a trade with @gorgo2 a mostly full bottle of Avon Imperator. Thank you very much it will be put to good use.

 

Can't tell you why but the fragrance reminds me of a Christmas gathering. Too bad it gave me a headache.
