Sunday morning:

Stirling Mentholated Pre Shave Soap
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Gillette day 12
MSC Cherry Freeze SS (glycerine version)
Prep ASB
Alt Innsbruck AS Splash

This glycerine version of Cherry Freeze is actually a very good soap although I must admit that I prefer the tallow one. The scent is good, yet it seems to smell a lot like cherry cough syrup but it’s still acceptable to me. The lather is excellent, the menthol sensation is good, and it’s very skin friendly. The Prep and the Alt Innsbruck did a great job of moisturizing, cooling, and soothing my skin not to mention how nice I smell. I managed to get a terrific BBS shave in three easy passes!

Have a good Sunday - be well and safe!

Lather Catcher Sunday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Proraso White Shaving Cream
SlimGem Silvertip Badger
Ever-Ready Lather Catcher
Personna GEM SS PTFE
CWR
Pinaud Citrus Musk EDC

The Proraso White Shaving Cream lathered well with SlimGem Silvertip Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Ever-Ready Lather Catcher with a Personna GEM SS PTFE gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Pinaud Citrus Musk EDC. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Personna Blade
Semogue 1520 Boar
Vintage Colgate Shaving Mug Soap

Interesting review, you don't see many all metal adjustable razors for Gem blades that are adjusted on the go with just the twist of the handle.

 

Sunday injector shave, SEptemper 26th 2021, When I use the injecto-matic it came N.O.Stock I believe, it still had the blank installed + a pamphlet in the case. The Pal branch of ASR spent over 1 million dollars designing this razor and tooling it up in the 1950's. (click on pictures to enlarge)


Razor: Pal injecto-matic, Mfg 1952>? tame mid range injector, nice grip on this handle, great design, interesting history.
Blade: Personna SS PTFE (2) very sharp, great longevity, smooths out over time + predictable.
Soap: Ach Brito Lavada cream, nice mild scent of lavander + great lather quality's.
Brush: Yaqi 24mm Atlantis, excellent lather generator, cloud like soft tips, great scrubber + great lather painter.
Pre shave: Brush wash my whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on the cleaned beard area.
Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups.
Post shave: Ach Brito Lavada with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturiser balm(excellent balm + scentless)
Results: CCS,DFS,BBS, + minor irritation + blemish weepers= Excellent shave with my Pal injecto-matic with a Personna coated blade.


Have some great shaves!

SUNDAY'S SHAVE​

Bath Soap - Mäurer & Wirtz - Tabac

Razor - GEM 1912 Travel Model (Sold to me by Jovraljr.)
Blade - Personna GEM Stainless Steel Coated
Lather Brush - Everyman Jack Synthetic
Lather Bowl by Freida of the Etsy shop ASfreidaturns
Shaving Cream - Mäurer & Wirtz - Tabac
Aftershave - Mäurer & Wirtz - Tabac
Post-Shave Balm - Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements "Mysterium Serum"
Deodorant - Mäurer & Wirtz - Tabac
Cologne - Mäurer & Wirtz - Tabac

2 days of growth. 1 pass + extensive "feel and swipe" clean up pass. Clean shave with no nicks or irritation. The GEM razor is great at mowing down multi-day growth. I was initially going to just splash on aftershave and that's it for post-shave, but because I shaved at around 1pm in the afternoon and I have to shave again Monday morning before work, I decided to enhance my skin recovery with PAA's Mysterium Serum post-shave balm. Tabac is a great scent.

I went off-roading on Saturday, so no shave yesterday. It was a great get-away.
