Sunday Shave, August 25th 2024

Razor : Ever-ready Streamline 2nd generation. Mfg 1949-53, mid range to upper mid range. Very well built razor for its time with stamping and machining. Interesting looking razor with blade forward feel and blade stops are small and close to front of safety bar base plate. I use a RIGS shim under the spine of new blade to smooth out the shave like the older thicker spine of the past. Had a close comfortable shave this morning.
Blade : Gem Personna SS PTFE (9) Very sharp, excellent longevity, smooths out nicely, predictable + safest blade to handle.
Soap : Ach Brito Lavanda cream, nice mild scented lavender + excellent lather qualities. One of my favorite soaps.
Brush : Yaqi "Viper" 24mm boar bristle. Excellent lather generator, soft split end boar bristle tips, nice splay scrubber + great lather painter.
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 splash with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results : or CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers= Had a close comfortable shave this morning with my Ever Ready streamline SE razor with a coated Gem blade.


Have some great shaves!

Cold Water Rinse
Eskimo Tuxedo Shave Soap
Jayaruh #457

Cold Water Rinse

The Eskimo Tuxedo Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #457 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette Red Tip Razor and the Gillette Super Blue Blade X3 gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Mennen Skin Bracer After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
