Sunday Schick Shave, Mar14th 2021 Razor: Schick i2 type with the hydro magic- MFG 1974-57, excellent razor, <midrange, easy to clean & easy to roam my face with the short handle. One of their better models IMO. Blade: Personna SS PTFE (7) Excellent blade, very sharp, smooths out nicely after a few shaves, excellent longevity for a razor that gets used seldom because of large razor rotation. The razor blade stays in the razor for weeks and does not deteriorate it seems. Soap: Proraso red sandal wood- mild scent with great lather qualities, good post shave feel. Brush: Yaqi red Zebra handle 26 mm excellent lather generator, heavenly cloud like soft tips, gentle scrub + great lather painter. Pre shave: Shower and hand washed my face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on the cleaned beard. Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups. Post shave: Proraso red with witch hazel + Nivea balm. Results: CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers= Excellent shave with my Schick i2 injector with a Personna blade. Have some excellent shaves! Stay & think safe in these times!

Mon 15th March Muhle Silvertip A-21mm Hampshire Wool Fat soap Ever Ready " Streamline " -single Clamshell model. Gem S/S [ 1 ] GB Grey Flannel A/S Lotion Have not Shaved with a Gem Blade since late November 2020, as I decided not to do rapid rotations. I was mindful of the fact that these oldies are not as forgiving as modern AC/SE so did not rush and shaved with care. A version of this ER is the one that I used when I started to use Vintage SE Razors , so was very pleased that my care was rewarded with an extremely pleasing close all round finish.
Menthol Monday's Lather Catcher Shave Cold Water Rinse Ingram Shave Cream Jayaruh #419 2-band Badger Superior Lather Catcher Personna GEM SS PTFE CWR Osage Rub I decided to do a week of lather catchers.

The Ingram Shave Cream lathered well with the Jayaruh #419 2-band Badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Superior Lather Catcher razor with a Personna GEM SS PTFE blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Osage Rub. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
I had a very pleasant shave with the Ever-Ready Streamline on loan from @twhite. This was my third shave with it and I think I dialed in the shave angle. The Novelist is a mild but very pleasant soap and splash. It was a gift from a member on several forms I'm on for making some enders adapters for him.

Tue 16th March RR 400. SE-Plissoft noir Vitos Super Red ER "Streamline" Gem S/S [ 2 ] Jaguar Prestige A/S Lotion Had to top up the Vitos Red for todays Shave. Lovely smooth Shave and OH SO close, the A/S stings - had almost forgotten how close this Razor can get. Next time out maybe a rub over with an Alum Block will be in order. Perhaps squeeze one more application from the A/S, used for years alongside the Vitos as they are favourites of mine.
