It looked good and felt good. Almost wished I could have done more passes, but there was nothing left.

Tuesday DECember 17 EverReady SE shave today. Bowl/Scuttle - GP12 Soap - Cognac & Cuban Cigars Brush - Rubberset 200-4 Blade - GEM SE SS (4) Razor - EverReady 1919 SE Post Shave - OSMA Pierre alum, Floid Mentolado Vigoroso A/S Shave rating 5 of 5 I shouldn't have been surprised, but again an excellent shave with today's century old Ever-Ready razor. I think this is known as a "shovel head", someone can correct me if I'm wrong, the hinge for the head is at the front. For me, slightly less smooth than the 33-34 Ever-Ready I last shaved with - I could feel and hear the blade but not overly aggressive. A two pass shave, WTG and XTG, and it was BBS. I'm not sure I'm sold on the Cognac and Cuban Cigars soap. The scent is good but it's not as slick and smooth as most of the other soaps I use. The alum was SILENT again. Finished up with the Floid. Happy DECember and great shaves everyone. - Ken

Well I haven’t had a lot of journal posts as of late just a lot going on. I have been inputting everything into the Shaving Buddy app which keeps all my stats etc. So today I decided I would get back to posting. Reached for a favourite of mine today though it comes up in rotation sparingly. The Merkur 45 is considered by most to be a great travel razor due to its light weight and size and I agree wholeheartedly. I love this razor period and it was the third razor I ever owned. It is a smooth shaver that just mows down the beard quite effectively. No weight to it so easy on the pressure but it is quite efficient. Loaded up with a Gillette Rubie. Soap or Croap of the day was Cella another fav that seems to elude me. It’s a tiny tub hidden behind the mountain of CBL goodness! Love the scent and it really is just a great lathering soap! Got through a lovely two pass DFS/BBS and topped it off with some AdP CE. Great start to hump day. Rating: 5 / 5 Razor: Merkur 45 Blade: Gillette Rubie Platinum Brush: Simpson Chubby 1 Lather: Cella Aftershave: Cella Aftershave Balm Additional Care: B.I.G. Co. Alum Block Acqua di Parma Colonia
