Fri 8th March Cyril Salter / Maseto ED 2 Band Vitos Super Red Ever Ready 1912- Bathroom Set Gem S/S [ 2 ] Jaguar Prestige A/S Lotion A rather pleasant Shave this morning with what is now my favourite British 1912. With the Aluminium round handle it to feels so nice in the hand during a shave, and the modern blade seems well suited to the Razor. There is not the usual 1912 noise, but it shaves so very smoothly and without fuss delivers a great close Shave.

Friday's Shave Cold Water Wash PSC Caffeinated Shave Cream Jayaruh #220 Starling SE Gem Blue Star SE CWR PSC Caffeinated AS My prep was just a cold water rinse. The PSC Caffeinated Shave Cream face lathered well with the Jayaruh #220 brush. I did two passes with the Starling SE 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 PSC Caffeinated AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Clog-Pruf Peerless/Proline-P The rounded ends of the Proline-B make it impossible to secure them in the Micromatic but a trimmed AC Proline is fine. Very smooth.
Just used my injector for the first time today. Nice feel. Pictures of it are in my post here https://theshaveden.com/forums/threads/the-haul-march-2019.61421/page-4 Only did a quick one pass shave with it today, but will need more time to get used to it.
Good afternoon Gentlemen! After exploring the razor that can use modern GEM blades, I became a fan of SE razors. Добрый день Джентльмены! После знакомства с бритвой, которая может использовать современные лезвия GEM, я стал поклонником SE бритв.
Sat 8th March Simpson Chubby 1 / Maggards 2 band L`Occitane Cade soap PAA Starling V2 Gem S/S [ 4 ] Pitralon Polar A/S Lotion. Disaster averted as I realised something amiss. Upon checking it out I found that the blade was askew. In order to keep the head less bulky, the blade retaining lugs are not very pronounced and after cleaning I had somehow managed to let the blade slip off a lug when putting head and base plate together. I find that the Razor has a lot of blade feel and feels quite aggressive, and definitely it is a Razor not to be rushed. This is my Fourth Shave with it , and most certainly the best, almost a Face Stroker. I rather liken it to an ER1924 in the way that it Shaves, and IMHO produces a better Shave than a Sabre L1 and ATT SE-G.
SOTD March 9, 2019 Prep: Cold water and Stirling mentholated pre-shave soap Blade: GEM PTFE Razor: Superior Lather Catcher Brush: JR #60 synthetic Soap: Oleo New City Post: Witch hazel, Oleo New City aftershave Been a while since I've used a SE razor. The Lather Catcher worked really well this morning. Smooth and comfortable. I find it a lot of fun and very interesting to use these old razors and get wonderful shaves from them. Our ancestors sure had stuff figured out when it came to tools and craftsmanship. Enjoy your day!
