    ASRazor shave, April 8th, 2024

    Razor : Ever-Ready 1914(AKA= Little lather catcher or LLC) with 1st generation blade stops. Mfg 1914-17, mid range. If a person likes audio feed back this is a excellent razor for that audio feed back and the ER 1914 shaves like a champion razor also. I get excellent shaves with this razor and sometimes I use a Rigs shim to calm it down a notch like this morning if I want a easy going shave. Had a close comfortable shave this morning.
    Blade : Gem Personna SS PTFE(6) very sharp(the reason I mention it being very sharp is the amount or # of shaves it offers per blade, usually 10 for my self), excellent longevity, smooths out nicely, predictable + safest blade to handle.
    Soap : Speick stick, nice mild herbal scent with excellent lather qualities.
    Brush : Yaqi "sagrada Familia " 22 mm 2band badger. Excellent lather generator, pillow like soft tips, nice splay scrubber + great lather painter. Small handle but works like a charm for my shaving needs.
    Pre shave : (Dedicated Cashmere synthetic)Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser with a dollop of clear Aloe Vera on the cleaned beard area.
    Prep : Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
    Post shave : Ach Brito Lavanda with witch hazel+ a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
    Results : Dial 9.5.jpg or CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers=[​IMG] Had a close comfortable shave this morning with my Ever-Ready 1914 razor with a coated Gem blade.

    Thanks for asking. I have put a Gillette NEW 1920's handle on it and loaded an Indian Gillette Wilkinson Sword blade in it, but I plan to use it this Wednesday, the 10th.

    Cien PURE Fragrance Free Sensitive Bar Soap.
    Brush: Omega 10066.
    Bowl Lather.
    Bowl: Tesco's Ceramic 'Cosmo' Side Bowl.
    Lather: Haslinger Aloe Vera Shaving Soap.

    Post:
    Cold Water Face & Head Rinse./Cold water face & Head wash with brush squeezing's,/Alum Rub./Cold Water Rinse./Williams Aqua Velva ASL. (Spanish version)./ Cien Men Sensitive ASB.

    Greetings,

    Early morning shave,

    (Face & Head Shave)

    The Haslinger Aloe Vera shaving soap provided a superb lather I have two Haslinger soaps Schafmilch Sheep Milk & Aloe Vera the only difference with the Aloe Vera soap is it doesn't contain lanolin and like the Schafmilch Sheep Milk has a very faint clean fragrance when wet.

    I've mentioned before in my posts that if you like a shaving soap with a strong fragrance, then you will be disappointed with Haslinger soaps ,as both soaps have a mild unique fragrance which will put some people off using.

    Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Cien Men Sensitive ASB.

    My face & precious swede are feeling smooth & smelling divine.;)

    Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.:cool:

    When James Riley of OSP first sent out prototype samples of his new soaps a number of years ago, Bay Rum was one of his first scents. And became a firm favourite of mine. Now used rarely due to its 'hens teeth' status.

    Nice shave my friend!

    Kent is an awesome soap - apparently it’s identical to MWF in every way. The only difference is that the MWF gave me a terrible rash and irritation all over my face whereas the Kent works so gently for me. It lathers beautifully and it smells nice. My father-in-law gave me one as a gift.
