Greetings,

Early Morning Shave,

A Turkish themed shave with a Ever-Ready 1912 twist!

Finishing my shaving week off in style with my much loved ER 1912 (UK) which performed wonderfully cutting through my stubble effortlessly paired together with the Ted Pella PTFE SS blade on it's 7th outing, and still feeling smooth & efficient....The longevity of the Ted Pella blades are remarkable!

What more can I say about these remarkable razors. The shave was fantastic...When ever i use my vintage razors I feel as though I am using a proper shaving tool when shaving with them. I have such love and respect for these wonderful vintage shaving tools.

A very enjoyable 2 pass + pick ups close near BBS comfortable shave with no errors to report...Finishing the shave off with a small dollop of Arko Cool ASB.

My face is feeling smooth cool, & smelling divine.

Stay safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.

Thursday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Cella Shave Soap
Semogue 1305 Boar
Provision Supply V2
Personna Injector
CWR
Cella ASB

The Cella Shave Soap lathered well with the Semogue 1305 Boar Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Provision Supply V2 Razor with plate three and a Personna Injector Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Cella ASB. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Each day, I like to choose a different razor, shave cream, and after-shave. I am still also trying out different blades. Each razor is different. Today, I chose my Muhle R89 Twist with a Feather blade. I used the last of my Captain's Choice "Italia" shaving soap whipped with my Simpsons brush in my lather bowl. (Pre-heated with hot water). I like the Proraso balms.

Oh, and I forgot to include in the photo my pre-shave cream - Proraso

As to the Twist, I like the heft but, I may lean more towards a 3-piece R89 that I have. With the Feather blade, I let the weight of the razor do the work. Very light touch but a nice close shave with no razor burn. I am still re-perfecting my technique and i still create a leaker or 2 but, they getting fewer.

Shaving has become a morning chore that I look forward to now. I have collected 12 razors so far. Things of beauty!

I am still collecting different creams and soaps. I have some arriving today!

 

Great shave and beautiful picture!
