I also know you do also Dave, seen one of your videos on that razor you had recently. I like breaking in a new Gem SS PTFE blade with my lather catchers to take full advantage of that great blade also.

 

ASRazor shave, Tue, Jan 25th 2022

Razor: Gem Junior Bar lather catcher- Mfg 1907-11, excellent tame mid range(mild?), well built for the amount of shaves this razor has seen, built to last, easy going carefree razor, smooth and worth owning. Gem(ASR) built great razors IMO. Great audio feedback while shaving also. Good razor for starting a new Gem PTFE very sharp blade also.
Blade: Gem Personna SS PTFE(2) excellent blade, very sharp, great longevity, smooths out nicely + predictable.
Soap: Ogallala Sage & Cedarwood, mild Bayrum with some clove scent with the other notes kind of throw a different scent, great lather qualities.
Brush: Yaqi Panda 24mm tuxedo knot, excellent lather generator, cloud like soft tips, nice scrub, excellent lather painter.
Pre shave: Brush wash 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: Witch hazel cleanse, Ogallala Bayrum with Sandalwood + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion + scentless.
Results: CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers = excellent shave with my Gem Jr bar with a coated Gem blade.


Have some great shaves!

 

And so, I’ll leave you with a poem written in honour of Rabbie.


The essential parts are three,
If you want a dram that’s rich and smoky.


One is an element that flows to the sea,
Another grows on stems and starts with ‘B’.


But if you want to taste delicious fog,
You need to lift it out the bog.


With spades in hand and boots on feet,
We go digging for Islay peat.


Until next time, Friend.

Interesting shave. Felt a little more aggressive than it should have and a little rougher. Will have to experiment a little more with blade selection maybe..

WEDNESDAY'S SHAVE​

Bath Soap - The Grandpa Soap Company "Pine Tar"

Razor - Plisson-Joris "Odyssey"
Blade - *2nd Shave
Shave Brush - Everyman Jack Synthetic
Shave Cream - Bijan for men
Shaving Soap - KaliFlower Organics "Pine Tar"

Aftershave - Thayers Witch Hazel "Unscented" *with added menthol

I'm going to use the Plisson/Joris "Odyssey" razor back-to-back days. The scents were already pre-determined, but it just happened that the same razor would get used. I like it when I get to gain more skill with a razor that I don't use that much. It's a gorgeous razor.
