Cold water shave

I had three days stubble and the Supply SE took it down effortlessly. Very smooth and comfortable. I love this razor!

My area in Washington state is suffering through wild fire smoke right now. The air is very hazy and sunlight filtering through is a yellow color. The sun is dim and red. When you step outside it smells like someone is burning a fireplace, and there are a few bits of ash falling here and there. There aren't any fires nearby but the smoke is blowing this way.

Greetings,

A relaxing Sunday morning shave.

The Bath House soap provided a wonderful lather in a short space of time. I find this shaving soap similar to MWF which i like very much, it's fragrance to my nose is a very pleasant 'Spicy' scent which is a great autumn/winter soap, but i use it if and when to my fancy not just for the colder months of the year... Another soap that gives a fantastic post shave feel.

The 1960's slim twist was my first vintage Gillette DE razor which was kindly passed on to me by a friend of the family. I've said this on many occasions, it still amazes me that a near 60-year-old vintage razor can still shave so smoothly.
After the comfortable shaves I've had with the Dorco st300 blades, I've carried on using the Korean made Dorco titan another blade that paired together with the wonderfully.
Like the ST300, the Dorco titan may not be the sharpest blade but, they are smooth sharp & very forgiving.

An enjoyable 2 pass + pick-ups close comfortable shave with no errors to report. Finishing to the shave off with a few small dollops of Nivea Men Fresh Moisturising Gel.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling divine.

Stay safe and enjoy your Sunday ladies & gentlemen.

Sunday morning’s Grand Freeze:

Stirling Mentholated Pre Shave Soap

Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Canadian Tech/Wilkinson Sword day 12
Stirling Glacial Lemon Chill SS
Stirling Glacial Lemon Chill ASB
Stirling Glacial Lemon Chill AS Splash
Christian Dior Eau Sauvage EdT

This could be the last hot weekend here in Montreal so I wanted to go all out with the menthol. The Glacial Lemon Chill is one of the nicest scents I’ve ever experienced - the soap’s tallow formula gives the lather such richness as well as super slickness, the menthol sensation pummelled my face non stop, and the postshave feeling was wonderful. The matching balm and aftershave splash kept the chill going so nicely, and the Eau Sauvage eau de toilette is also lemony scented in a lovely way. Three passes left me mega BBS - this was such a delightful shave that I enjoyed from start to finish!

Have a good Sunday - be well and safe!

Exceptional shave with the Damaskeene. Very much like the Star 1912. Loud feedback as it mows the whiskers down! NICE!

Razor - 1912-1918 GEM Damaskeene
Blade - GEM Personna SS 4th shave
Pre-shave - Proraso Red
Soap - Lather & Wood "Sandalwood"
Brush - Simpson #46 "Berkeley"
Post - Thayers Toner & Geo F Trumper Skin Food "Sandalwood"
AS - Pinaud Clubman

I had one of the most pleasant shaving experiences with the Damaskeene. It also says "1912" on the underside. This razor gives good feedback while shaving. So smooth and close! This is an easy razor for me to use and not worry about nicks or cuts. VERY pleasant. I did a 2-pass shave WTG & ATG with no cleanup. Alum bar was silent. No cuts, nicks, or weepers.

The soap created nice lather but, I had to work at it. I had a dab left after rinsing bowl so, I put it back into container. Really THICK soap but, I would not try blooming it. I use a spoon to get a dollop

I LOVE these vintage SE razors! "GEM Cutlery Co."

 

Lather Catcher Sunday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Palmolive Shaving Cream
Jayaruh #1 Silvertip Badger
Gem Jr. Bar Lather Catcher
Personna GEM SS PTFE
CWR
Florida Water

The Palmolive Shaving Cream lathered well with Jayaruh #1 Silvertip Badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gem Jr. Bar Lather Catcher and a Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Florida Water. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
