    This Wabbit shave would have impossible. That is until I found the lost magnet.
    The second use of the 'Chick' blade was much smoother. This is a nice blade.

    Marvelous three pass shave today with the Schick Adjustable fitted with a twin blade. Excellent, slick, creamy lather from the Arko shave stick. I finished with Fine L’Orange. I am smooth and refreshed. Enjoy your day friends. :)

    Jayaruh #1 silvertip
    Micromatic OC
    Personna GEM SS PTFE
    CWR
    Tabac ASB

    The Tabac Shave Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #1 silvertip brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Micromatic OC razor with a Personna GEM SS PTFE blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Tabac ASB. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    The brush has been an unexpected gift and is highly efficient!
    I understand Oumo refuses conventional handle colors...

    The Klar... I started to hunt for it around 4 years ago, when I read it was going out of production and I succeeded!
    I had not smelled before but I am a fan of rose scented soaps: i think I have 4 or 5 of them, bur Klar is, emotionally, my favorite.
    Only one was better, from a Sicilian artisan: soap making was a hobby.
    A really fantastic soap with the very most bestest scent I ever smelled.
    And he, obviously, does not have any more the time to make them.

    First the heat kept me awake, now the cold.
    How boring...

    A grey morning, but lavender attracted me: a desire easily solved with a well-experienced gear.
    But... the Gillette seems to me inferior to the Progress...

    Today's shave got off to a great start...but in the end thwarted me from giving it absolute top honors. Had I stopped at one pass, it might have made it. But the second pass resulted in taking it down a notch. 0:35 to load the Jayaruh#59 with the Aqua Shaving Cream Soap. Nice sweeping motions on face and neck. Rinsing with warm water between passes I could feel the greatness of this soap. I now KNOW I will buy the GOLD as my second Razorock soap-it too is a Shaving Cream Soap. But that will be sometime in the future. I began the second pass, and WHAM...a nick and a cut at Porcupine Alley again(as was the case yesterday). I love the soap, but as it is approaching the bottom, perhaps the weakness of it showing now. Also I could have used a little too much pressure there. Other than the mishaps, I did good again. Aqua Velva to finish. This Suave body wash isn't as cooling as the Nivea. I might buy something cooler and save the Suave for the colder days. It smells great, but there's amber and spice in it...too warm for August. I think I'll flip in some Stoylin Frost drops for tomorrow's shave to see if the frost outdoes the warmth of the Suave. Anyway..Super Duper Excellent for today's shave, and I think I'll stop at the one pass tomorrow-a "One-Trick-Pony" shave :).

    I love all of your set up and the razor seems like my Super Speed '40 style (I've been told that is the model of mine) dated 1961.
    Is yours an original one?
