    Adjustable Friday's Shave
    zcws.gif

    Proraso Pre Shave
    PSC Caffeinated Shave Cream
    Jayaruh #284 Synthetic
    Schick M2 Adjustable
    Precision ER Products Injector
    CWR
    Thayers Peach WH
    PSC Caffeinated AS

    I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The PSC Caffeinated Shave Cream face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #284 Synthetic brush. I did two passes with the Schick M2 Adjustable Razor with a Precision ER Products Injector blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Peach WH and then PSC Caffeinated AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    I finally discovered that the blade is a Pal injector blade made in Britain by Ever-Ready Razor Products in the 1950s. My expectations were low based on others experience, but I was not disappointed. It was a fine shave indeed. In fact, I could have quit after one pass, but I did two and ended up with a very close and comfortable shave.

  9. Nice looking refreshing shave. Which knot is that? Looks well broken-in.

    Country Club Spice Trail today. 20 seconds to load the Elite Razor Manchurian White brush. Easy, thick, slick, lather. I loaded a new Gillette “Spoiler” Super Stainless in the Gillette Fat Handle Tech. Excellent smooth, close, shave. I finished with Country Club Southern Oud aftershave.

  12. Hi there young fellows - Papa is here!

    My Friday SOTD:

    C. W. Beggs Facial Wash
    Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
    Super Speed/Wilkinson day 7
    Palmshave Lime SC
    Fino ASB
    Kanon EdT

    I went from extreme menthol most of this week to medium menthol yesterday, and to zero menthol today. This Palmshave cream (thanks Dave!) does a pretty good job of lathering and caring for the skin. The Fino balm (thanks again Dave!) is sooooo soothing as well as protective. A very good BBS shave in spite of how rushed it was!

    I fancied a nice zingy lime to cap off this very sunny week and remembered I have a couple of samples.
    The cream is quite a dark lime scent and there's an ointment like background to it, not unpleasant but also not something I'd go and buy. The performance on the other hand is pretty good.
    I do like the balm though and might be checking it out in the near future.
    Happy Shaving one and all.

  15. Schick M1 Adjustable razor
    Personna blade
    WD Silver Tip brush
    Williams SS (modern)
    Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
    Pinaud Clubman A/S

    Another nice Williams lather, think I found my mojo with it again. I have to say that, for me, Silver Tips work best with Williams. At any rate, a nice shave and I'm ready to go. Now go enjoy your day folks.

  16. I get that same “ointment” odor from Castle Forbes Lime. I referred to it a Mr Clean smell. I was bombarded with catcalls from lovers of that soap.

  19. I actually like Castle Forbes and Vulfix so I was a bit disappointed.
  20. Jayaruh Woody SE Razor
    CVS/Accutek SE Blade
    Jayaruh #236/30mm Tuxedo Brush
    Klar Shave Soap
    Dickinson's Witch Hazel
    Old Spice After Shave

    First shave with the Woody and it was a good one. The angle is just right for me and worked out nicely. I do prefer shorter handles, but I didn't have a problem maneuvering it for my shave. Three passes for a very smooth and comfortable BBS shave.
