Injector & SE Party !!!

Thanks. It's a very nice fougère.

 

I have been really loving the 2 fougère shave soaps I have. From the name of that one I'm guessing it's a very strongly scented soap. Would that assumption be correct?

 

Indeed.

Now have had 4 consecutive Shaves with The Hiram/2 plate, and it is delivering consistently good Shaves without any problems. I used a cream today which is a rare occasion, I had almost forgotten how good it is to Shave with,and The Hiram is so easy to keep rinsed. The move from a 3plate to a 2plate has been a success, as the Razor is now proving to be an excellent Daily Shaver.

 

Menthol Monday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Proraso Green Shave Soap
Jayaruh #206 2-band Badger
Original TNNSER
Persona Gem SS PTFE SE
CWR
Osage Rub

The plan was to use the Wabbit by Tom today, but it did not arrive in time. Maybe I will get it before tomorrow's shave.

The Proraso Green Shave Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #206 2-band badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the TNNSER razor with a Persona Gem SS PTFE SE blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Osage Rub. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

OFSR (Our Famous Safety Razor), despined gem ss ptfe blade, shave 4


Second go round with this razor. It is a very mild razor, reminds me a lot of the model C autostrop that can also use a despined gem blade but is much more efficient of a shaver. As I've stated before this razor is rebrand of a Burham and since it was sold by ISR it puts the razor in the date range of 1918 through sometime in the 1920s.

I think that this the 5th consecutive quality shave confirms that The Hiram is a rather good choice for me as a Daily Shaver.Used the MWF on its last knockings, and despite the chalky water of Kent it still delivers a great Shaving Lather.

Vulfix 404 mixed
Williams Mug soap

Back to a Williams Wed after missing a couple. Very copious lather deceived me a bit as so much glide, didn't work hard enough in some areas so finish a bit patchy.

Thur 20th August

RR Syn.22mm
Arko Stick -grated
Occams Hiram/Plate2
Kai Pink [ 6 ]
Tuff Red A/S Lotion

Got it spot on today, got the finish right in each are before moving on, did not get fooled by the slickness of the lather. The Arko really works for me, after all it is used by lots of Turkish Guys who often have tough beards to deal with, so they must think its good too.
