Thursday's Shave Cold Water Rinse Eufros Sandalo Shaving Soap Jayaruh #414 1905 Gillette Double Ring Gillette Silver Blue CWR Family Dollar Old Spice The Eufros Sandalo Shaving Soap face-lathered well with Jayaruh #414 Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the 1905 Gillette Double Ring razor (my most vintage Gillette) with a Gillette Silver Blue blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Family Dollar Old Spice. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
One of the good things about growing old is that you lived this long. There is only one (1) other alternative.
SE SOTD, Thur, Oct1 2020 Razor: Everready Streamline 2nd Generation- Mfg 1949-53, upper mid range, light touch gives excellent results, I find it one of my harder razors to master. One of the nicest eye candy razors IMO. Blade: Gem Personna SS PTFE (6) excellent blade in all strengths that make a blade. Soap: Razorock Santa Maria del Fiore- nice mild Tabaco vanilla scent with excellent lather qualities. Brush: Razorock Noir 400 Plissoft syn- geat brush for scrubbing with soft tips reminds me of my Omega boar brush. Pre shave: Brush wash my whole face with CeraVe hand bar Cleanser + a dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on beard area. Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups. Post shave: Witch Hazel with a dollop of AVON True Gent balm. Results: CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers = Excellent shave with my ER 2nd Gen Streamline razor. One of those days you are not aiming for a BBS and it it just happens. Have some great shaves! Stay & think safe in these times!
