SUNDAY'S SHAVE​

Razor - GEM 1912 Travel Model (Sold to me by Jovraljr.)
Blade - Personna GEM *2nd Shave
Shaving Cream - Stetson
Deodorant - Stetson
Aftershave - Stetson
Fragrance - Stetson Cologne

My Dad got me the aftershave and cologne for this recent Christmas. I hunted down the canned shaving cream and deodorant then tossed in the GEM razor and voila!

 

The shave from a Personna Floating Head is one of the smoothest and closest you can get - especially if it’s paired with a twin blade. The floating head is no marketing gimmick. It really does float to keep the pressure more or less constant when you run over a curve or perhaps get a little too aggressive with the pressure.. Anyhow, having just experienced the above I am still stroking my face. Great shave

Hot water preparation
Argan Oil PSO
Shavemac 2-Band Silvertip Badger
Castle Forbes Lavender Shaving Cream
Personna Floating Head
NOS Schick Twin Blade (4)
Thayers Rose Petal Witch Hazel



Happy shaving - Karl

 

Lovely colours.

The Merry Mixed Up Month of May!

May 16

Razor - 1946-'47 Gillette Aristocrat
Blade -
Soap - Blood on Steel LE for 2019 Meet Up by Stirling
Brush - 30DC LE Meet-Up brush w/ SynBad bulb by @jtspartan
Post - Alum

Long cloudy day today but lots of food got delivered. That's a good thing. Came home tired and dry as no rain every found me. Apparently, I don't smell bad so I didn't need an outdoor shower. I did need a shave, however, so I broke out the Aristocrat and Vodkhod one more time. Since I used the 2018 Blood on Steel last night, along with the first edition 30DC brush, I used the 2019 Blood on Steel tonight along with the 30DC Meet Up brush. Fantastic lather from the SynBad knot and three passes knocked me down to BBS and a very relaxed and happy camper.

Hope you had a great Saturday and got to do something fun or just relax. Sunday is here again in a few hours. These weeks are FLYING by!
