    Friday's Shave
    zcws.jpg

    Cold Water Rinse
    Old Spice Original Shaving Cream
    Jayaruh #425
    Schick Repeating Razor C
    Schick Proline
    CWR
    Pinaud Citrus Musk EDC

    The Old Spice Original Shaving Cream lathered well with Jayaruh #425 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Schick Repeating Razor C with a Schick Proline Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Pinaud Citrus Musk EDC. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Friday morning:

    King C. Gillette Facial Wash
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Super Speed/Gillette day 10
    Proraso White SC
    Proraso White Crema Pre/Dopo
    Alt Innsbruck AS Splash

    Finally a break from this intense heat we’ve been getting so we can close the air conditioning!

    I really enjoyed the Proraso White cream’s lovely scent as well as its thick, rich lather, there’s a very faint but noticeable menthol sensation, and the postshave feeling is so soothing. The matching pre/after cream works so well as a balm, and do I ever love the scent of the Alt Innsbruck and the menthol kick it gives. I did just two passes but I still ended up BBS!

    Have a great weekend - be well and safe!

    PS: Please forgive me for the lousy picture!

    BBS -AS/BIC. I find the BBS quite mild even with the more aggressive AS plate. Pretty effective but next round I'll be loosening the handle a bit. Clean up with the twin half blade Nodachi. Lots of noise and blade feel but it works.[​IMG]

    Razor: Valet Auto-strop C1 Canadian variant- MFG 1920's, modified blade gab from 11/1000" to 7/1000 of inch & it made this old interesting razor into a smooth comfortable razor from a prior aggressive razor. I like using it a lot more & is in my rotation for years.
    Blade: Gem Personna SS PTFE(1) very sharp, great longevity, smooths out nicely & predictable. Best SE blade for cost and shave IMO.
    Soap: Ogallala Bayrum with Sandalwood, nice scent with great lather qualities.
    Brush: Yaqi Artic sky 24mm synthetic, excellent lather generator, heavenly cloud like soft tips, nice scrubber + great lather painter.
    Pre shave: Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser with a dollop of Clear Aloe Vera gel on the cleaned beard area.
    Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups.
    Post shave: witch hazel + Ogallala Bayrum with Sandalwood [​IMG] + a dollop of Nivea with 2 drops of HA.
    Results: CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers = [​IMG]excellent shave with my Valet auto-strop C1 model + a modified Gem coated blade.

    Parker injector V2, Personna injector blade, shave 1
    [​IMG] [​IMG]

    First go round with the newly redesigned version of this razor. One of the biggest problems I found with the V1 is it just flat out didn't shave with Personna blades, the ones they bundle with the razor with. For this shave I put one in and cranked it all the way up to see if they work now. They do and it is much more aggressive at the 5 setting, aggressive enough you can get something that resembles a shave with a Personna blade now. Not quite a BBS finish but close. Peeps with less wiry or thick beards should get a better result making an otherwise good idea in practice an actual usable tool.

    A pleasurable 2 pass + pickups close comfortable shave with no errors to report...Finishing to the shave off with a few small squirts of Milton Lloyd America Night EdT to the pulse points.

    My face is feeling silky smooth & smelling divine.;)

    Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the bank holiday weekend ladies & gentlemen.:cool:
