TOST Thursday's Shave Cold Water Rinse Morning TOST Shaving Soap Jayaruh #375 Synthetic Valet VB2 Valet AutoStrop (24) CWR Dove Men+Care Post Shave Balm My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Morning TOST Shaving Soap face lathered well with the Jayaruh #375 Synthetic brush. I did two passes with the Valet VB2 razor with a Valet AutoStrop blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Dove Men+Care Post Shave Balm. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
•1914 w/Gem blue (1st pass) •Senator w/vintage Gillette Super Stainless (2nd) •some soap from The Box 2 pass BBS, except for the goatee I left intact. Six weeks of beard was filling in fine but below the jawline on both sides it was had gotten all white and disturbingly curly. Had to go. I was used to how the full beard felt but even partly clean shaven does feel better, ESPECIALLY when you apply a big slap of vintage AV Ice Blue spiked with extra menthol. Hoo boy. Did discover to my surprise that the Senator has a little difficulty taking off a full beard, unlike a NEW. The doors had to be loosed a good bit for it to work well but then there was too much bite. I knew the SE would take it right off without a hitch, so I switched to the '14 for mowing and back to the Senator for cleanup. Gonna make the Senator my daily driver for awhile.

My pleasure. Thank you! Thanks! Mike Simone of Island Bladeworks does nice work. He also did my moose antler brush, "Bullwinkle" Very cool. That razor handle, especially the ferrule, looks like mahogany. I know it's gunkote, but still the way the light's capturing it, it looks like wood to me.
Thursday morning: Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster Super Speed/Wilkinson day 4 Viking Sensitive SC Nivea Cool Kick ASB Bleu de Chanel EdP This is the original Viking Sensitive cream from Bulgaria which I received about six years ago from a generous gentleman on another wetshaving forum. The scent is nothing special, but the lather and skincare are fantastic. The Nivea Cool Kick balm is so moisturizing and soothing, as well as slightly cooling. Two passes were all I needed to get a good BBS shave.

Thank you Gary! Thanks Matt. I liked this color option they offered. I think it was the Cubano edition. Tom
TIL: Personna blades and the r41 do not mix This was the worst shave in a long time. It felt fine as I shaved, but I got lots of burn and blood on my neck and even my cheeks. Perhaps these blades are too sharp for this razor. I'm going to take a few days off to heal.

Gorgeous razor. I need to eventually get one. They are really hard to find for sale. Everytime I look up one of these colored razors they are sold out.
