    Wednesday will be Veterans Day. My thanks to all you guys and gals who gave up a portion of your lives to serve your country.

    I have planned my shaves for this week with this in mind. I am using my 1918 Gillette U.S. Army Old Type for Monday and Tuesday's shaves. Wednesday through Friday, I will be using my Ever-Ready Army Kit with the 1914 ER razor. I will also be lathering with my Vietnam commemorative U.S. Army synthetic brush, Jayaruh #220.

    I forgot about my Weck Sextoblade US Army. I think that will do fine for Saturday Straights. I don't use the comb guard when shaving.

    Menthol Monday's Shave
    [​IMG]

    Cold Water Rinse
    Virgilio Valobra Shaving Soap
    Jayaruh #220 Synthetic
    Gillette 1918 Army Old Type
    Gillette Silver Blue
    CWR
    Osage Rub

    The Virgilio Valobra Shaving Soap face-lathered well with Jayaruh #220 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette 1918 Army Old Type razor with a Gillette Silver Blue blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Osage Rub. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
