SoS: December 2020

SE SOTD, Wed, Dec 09th 2020

Razor: Gem Micromatic open comb- MFG 1930 -41, Excellent mid range, if you can not get a close shave technique needs improvement.
Blade: Gem Personna SS PTFE (10) Excellent blade, very sharp, great longevity and smooths out nicely & predictable.
Soap: Colonel Conk Bayrum, mild scent with excellent lather qualities. Great soap & a Bargain IMO.
Brush: Yaqi tuxedo knot 24 mm with black marble handle, excellent lather creator with cloud like soft tips with some backbone.
Pre shave: Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on cleaned beard area.
Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
Post shave: Witch hazel + Ogallala bayrum & Sandal wood + a dollop of Nivea balm.
Results: CCS,DFS,BbS + no irritation + no weepers = excellent shave with my MMOC and coated Gem blade.


Have some great shaves! Stay & think safe in these times!

Just a real good shave. The Nacet was just slightly tuggy but, it managed to complete a 2 pass shave. A new one for the next. A wonderful evening and shaves to all...​

 

It has been several days, since the last shave, so, I broke out this newly Bought, Restored, and Honed razor. It cut through the heavy beard, like a hot knife through butter. BBS results. This is one fantastic shaving blade. I have several blades coming from Little Valley NY, and all are excellent razors. This is my first CASE Bros.

Razor- Case Bros. "Tested". Little Valley NY. Full Hollow. Aluminum Scales
Brush- B400 By Tom (@twhite ). Omega Boar knot
Soap- AOS "OUD". great scent. Newly acquired.
Aftershave- Vintage Avon Spicy. Buffalo Nickel decanter.

 

Thanks, Gary

First use of the Feather AS-D2. Was expecting a mild razor and it was but surprised me with such a smooth good shave. Am thinking this will replace my edwin jagger de89 and my merkur 34c.

Used a Personna Lab blue blade on third use. Will have to try a feather blade next time with this razor.

Greetings,

Today i went for a hybrid combo of 'Modern/Old School' shave set up.

The dependable Palmolive classic shave cream provided a slick protective lather in a short space of time.... When ever i mention to family and friends that 'I still wear Denim' i get some vague interesting looks and comments....Not that this concerns me in anyway,, the younger chaps that i work with don't understand the greatness of Denim which is a pity, but it's their loss if they can't appreciate a classic 'Old School' fragrance...A enjoyable 3 pass + pick ups close comfortable shave with no errors to report....Finishing the shave off with a small dollop of Aloe Vera Gel.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling very 'Old School' divine, but i love it!.

Stay safe, and enjoy your Day ladies & gentlemen.

2020-12-10 Thursday

It's just a little while before the weekend when I can do what I do every other day: it's great!

And I keep trying the Finest.
I've made an amazing discovery: it's a brush like any other.
Today I loaded the tips only, which continue to be stingy, but already less than before, and, anyway, pleasantly.
Whipping gently, using only the tips makes a nice lather.

I think I would post this on my FB profile if I had one.
This makes me sad: I don't know where to post it and.... restrain from giving inappropriate suggestions!
