Thank you Karl. It’s good to be back.

Doing a test for a friend Jennifer Koch from Farm House North. This is her Bamboo and teakwood shave soap. It’s a very soft soap. Great protection and slickness. She’s pretty new when it comes to shave soaps but has been making bar soap and other stuff like that for some time. I wouldn’t compare her to none of the other top k itch artisans in the game now. Prob the Etsy artisans though

(Face & Head Shave.)

Greetings,

(Tribute month to a great shaving Friend.)

A new shave set up to start the weekend...Starting the month off with as a tribute to a fellow shaving friend Jeff @jgreenepa who at the moment due to an adverse reaction to his medication he is now in an ICU. My thoughts are with him and family wishing him a speedy recovery.

Thanks to him In early January this year he kindly gifted me the Schick Type G Injector along with a Gem Featherweight SE razor, a fresh magazine of Personna PTFE SS injector blade & a few Ted Pella PTFE SS Gem blades, which gave me a great opportunity to venture and experience the wonderful world of vintage SE Injector Razors which have became my favourite shaving tools. Especially for dome/ head shaving.

So as a tribute to him i will be using the same soap brush, & both the Schick Type G, & Gem Featherweight SE razors for the remainder of the month. Starting with the Schick Type G Injector fitted with a fresh Personna PTFE SS blade.

An enjoyable close comfortable face & head shave with no errors to report...The Schick Injector's are such smooth efficient razors.

Finishing to the shave off with a few small dollops of Nivea Men Fresh Kick ASB.

My face & precious swede are feeling super smooth and smelling divine.

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