Thursday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse

The Arctic Shave Butter is a non-lathering product. Two passes and touch ups with the GEM Flying Wing with a GEM Stainless blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Granddad's Blend AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Glenn, Feather FHS-10 stainless steel blade, shave 1


First off I didn't know what to expect from this razor. Usually these old SE razors take oddball sized blades and this one is no exception or so I thought as it turns out the blade is dimensionally the same as the Feather blades. Shave was mid level slightly on the aggressive side. Really close shave considering the blade which tends to not be as good as the Gem blades. By far the best shave I've ever had with a Feather blade. At some point I need to try a Gem blade in this razor and also figure out how to space it so has the correct exposure to get the best shave this razor is capable of providing.

Officina Artigiana A/S Lotion

Still using the Enoch on its trial with a Kai blade. However, today used a new to me Soap & A/S a bit of a departure from my usual stuff, apparently full of essential oils which are new to me. The soap lathered up very quickly on a damp brush, there being an abundance of creamy lather more than needed actually,and very pleasant smelling. The Shave itself went well and I feel that this soap provides glide and protection, and the skin feels good after the Shave. The After Shave did not sting and left the skin feeling moist and refreshed and one breathes in a very pleasant scent which seems to linger longer than other that I use.

Hope you Chaps in the USA have a Good Independence Day, but Stay Safe.

SE SOTD, Sat, July4th 2020, Kind of different shaving day for myself, Got to use my first 3D printed razor(Amazing tolerences they can achieve). It holds a Gem blade one of favorites and it is of a design most have never seen a Gem razor blade in. It is one of Tom White creations that is of good design and he seems to have hit my sweet spot for the right amount of aggression and efficiency(Mid range razor). I usually test a new razor with a two pass shave with no pick ups to see how it handled the stubble(WTG+ATG no pickups) and then do my feel test followed by finishing the shave. Indicating a Mid range for sure and a light razor for those who enjoy them like myself.
I remember Gem Mfg was doing trial runs with proto type adjustable"s to compete with all of the other MFG's and the TNNSER could of been a winner for them because you could just change the cap with a thicker one to become a mild razor that Gem Mfg did to its model ranges.(just thinking possibilities). Some call it TNNSER because Tom did not but a name on it. Anyways just a nice razor I will enjoy it for years, another Great creation Tom White has designed with other razors you have been tinkering & designing with.(Like the Enders style handle with a good feel in the hand also!)

Razor: TNNSER 3D printed model- MFG 2018 Aluminum proto type + 2019> 3D printed type.Nice mid range IMO.
Blade:Gem Personna SS PTFE (1) Excellent blade, Sharp, good longevity, smooths out the more you use , predictable.
Brush: Yaqi Timberwolf 24 mm synthetic - great brush properties making and applying shave soap lather IMO.
Soap: Razorock Lavender- one of my RR favorites with excellent lather properties and Scent.
Pre shave: Brush wash my whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser+ a dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on beard area.
Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + afterwards pickups.
Post shave: Razorock King Louis Lavender with witch Hazel+ a dollop of Nivea balm.
Results: CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + 1 weeper =excellent close shave with Tom's No Name Single Edge Razor (TNNSER).



Have some great shaves!

Great shave report. The TNNSER 3d is a fantastic razor

On a whim I decided to use a longer handle on the Hawk V3/ OC , and the Razor which I had felt rather fierce became such more easy to Shave with . The Shave was smooth and comfortable ate an excellent close Finish. Must now try out my Hawk V3-A plate with the shorter HD handle to see if it affects its performance.
