    Cold Water Rinse
    Colgate Shaving Mug Soap
    Tom's Brush B-3 Badger

    Gillette Silver Blue
    CWR
    Florida Water

    The Colgate Shaving Mug Soap lathered well with Tom's Brush B-3 Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Brass TAR Razor by Tom with a Gillette Silver Blue Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Florida Water. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

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.:cool:
