Greetings,

(vintage SE razor Week)

A new shave set up to start the weekend....It's been a while since i last gave my vintage SE razors a run out starting the weekend off with my Ever-Ready 1914, as always it was a pleasure to shave with...The vintage Ever-Ready SE razors don't get the credit they so rightly deserve paired up with the Gem PTFE blade it mowed through my stubble with smooth efficiency...My fondness for the Eco Warrior shaving bar grows with each shave... A wonderful performing shaving soap that gives a superb post shave feel.

A very enjoyable 3 pass + pickups close comfortable shave with no errors to report...Finishing the shave off with a small dollop of Creightons Sensitive PSB.

My face is feeling smooth & smelling divine.

Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.

 

An all Brit gear...
Parochialism?

 

A high class composition, colors, background!

 

2021-02-20, Saturday

A Chet Baker morning, however, I was in the mood for something more spirited.

Obviously I needed a suitable soap: I smelled the Castle Forbes lavender but it was too spring, summery. And Jabonman's Zanzibar was too aromatic. The natural choice fell on the Dutch croap.
Due to bowl size, the Berkeley was an obvious choice.

The blade... I don't know if the 'new' Polsilver is a version of the discontinued one or if it's made the same way and they just changed the livery. I know it shaves very, very well.
Right out of the bag it seemed thin to me, but upon examination I changed my opinion.
On the German razor it offered an excellent performance.
And also an almost complete second pass without re-lathering, thanks to the exceptional smoothness of the soap.
The EdT was perfectly in line with what I had chosen.

An excellent opening to the day...

Saturday Straights' Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Jeff's Soap
Jayaruh #419 2-band Badger
H. Böker 5/8
CWR
Florida Water

Jeff's Soap was lathered well with the Jayaruh #419 2-band Badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the H. Böker 5/8 gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Florida Water. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
