Friday's Shave Cold Water Wash Arko Jayaruh #340 TNNSER GEM Blue Star SE CWR Pinaud Special Reserve My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Arko Shaving Soap face lathered well with the Jayaruh #340 badger brush. I did two passes with the TNNSER razor with a GEM Blue Star SE blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Pinaud Special Reserve AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Friday 25th January Pears Glycerine Soap Clubman Shave Butter as a preshave Stirling Scots Pine Sheep Soap Simpson Wee Scot Brush Claymore V2 on a Windrose Handle with a Kai Mild Blade Thayers Witch Hazel Dove Moisturiser Clubman Whiskey Woods AS A nod to our Scottish Colleagues as tonight is Burns Night. I am on night shift tonight with a 'Bonnie wee Lassie' from Scotland. Due to difficulty in sourcing alcohol free Whisky and Vegetarian Haggis.....the height of our celebration may be dancing round crossed penknives. My first use of the Wee Scot. I have had it for years but never took it seriously enough to use it until today. Most definitely up to the task....but not something I would reach for very often. 2 passes with a touch up for a perfect shave.

Sat 26th Jan Jayaruh No67 Syn. Tabac soap Ever Ready Streamline Gem S/S [ 1 ] Tabac A/S Lotion As a follow up to a great AC/SE Shave, the Streamline was a good choice. This is a Razor I learnt to shave with when I started SE Shaving. Treated with care and a light touch it delivers a superb finish, it is my favourite Vintage SE.

Buenos dias!! - Yaqi Rainbow 26mm. -Tilt T3. -Personna injector #1. -DOC Chinese handle. -Baili Blue #1. -The BodyShop cream. --Alum Stick, DIY Lotion, Mildeen Balm. -5/5 Tilt T3 is a good tool once the problem of misalignment of the blade is solved. It is light and delivers a comfortable and effective shave with no effort (it has a bit of aggressiveness, after the ATG pass I found a couple of tiny blood spots). Un saludo!!

Sun 27th Jan. - ER 1912 Patent Anniversary & Travel Shave ! Omega 10065 Haslinger Honig Ever Ready 1912 Gem S/S [ 2 ] La Toja A/S Lotion Was away for the weekend, so Bathroom conditions were not really conducive to a great Shave, with a 1912 that was an earlier model than the one that I normally use. It felt a little harsh compared with my usual one, so I did not push for anything more than a passable Shave. After yesterdays great Shave with a Streamline this was a bit of a comedown.
