Pre: Warm water face wash Brush: Anbbas Boar Cream: Arko Razor: ER 1924 Blade: Gem SS Post: Warm then cold water rinse, LaToja Balsamo I'm not a big fan of Arko soap, can't get past the smell, but find the cream to be pretty good. The shimmed 1924 was in its element and went about its business with vigour and aplomb. The LaToja was the finishing touch to a very good shave, leaving my skin smooth and feeling grand.
Wednesday's SOTD Paradigm 17-4 / Polsilver DG Trismegistus soap RazoRock Beehive Fine L'Orange Noir My first shave with my new Paradigm Stainless 17-4 and what an incredible shave it was. YES the hype is deserving of this razor, so glad i was lucky enough to get one of the 150 made
Almost exactly the same for Thursday's shave as today, but a minor difference: Brush-Stoylin' "li'l brudder". Seems I had the two Stoylin brushes lined up next to each other in the rotation.

Thursday's Shave Proraso Pre Shave Williams Mug Shave Soap JR#206 2-band Badger Schick H (the Hussy) Schick Twin CWR Thayer's Lemon WH Vegetal I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Williams Mug Shave Soap face-lathered well with the JR #206 2-band Badger brush. I did two passes with the Schick H Razor with a Schick Twin blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Vegetal AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
