Neillite 400
Green 8 o'clock blade
bar soap

2 days growth, 1 pass BBS.

I've tried maybe five 400s in the past but every one had been aggressive to the point of too harsh to use...all sold or given away. The one I got just today is very smooth and impressively efficient. It's bakelite like the others but is brown; the others all black. Don't see how that could matter and maybe it doesn't, but this one is a keeper.

Tuesday morning’s Grand Freeze:

Stirling Mentholated Pre Shave Soap
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Canadian Tech/Wilkinson Sword day 14
MSC Peppermint Latte SS
Prep ASB
MSC Peppermint Latte AS Splash

Perhaps not quite as mega frigid as yesterday but still frigid enough to rate this as a Grand Freeze. Fernando’s delightful Peppermint Latte soap and aftershave smell so beautiful - espresso coffee and peppermint come together to give this soap and aftershave a lovely scent. The soap is tallow based so you get such thick, rich, super slick lather, the menthol sensation is bloody potent, and the skincare is perfect. The Prep felt so soothing as well as moisturizing when I massaged my face and neck with it, and the Peppermint Latte aftershave went on so icy cold - because it’s witch hazel based there’s no burning or stinging from it. Miraculously, the Wilkinson Sword blade hung on to give me a brilliant three pass BBS shave - tomorrow I’ll change it!

Enjoy your day and your shaves - be well and safe!

Showered and heated lather bowl/brush and bloomed the soap with HOT water. The lather was really nice. I did a 2-pass shave with cleanup. I managed to nick myself right under my nostril! Also on my chin! Nothing that the alum bar couldn't handle but, it turned a pleasant shave into a bit of irritation! I had not used the Slim in a while and I guess I forgot how to handle it! Feather blade upped the ante.

Thayers is always nice.

I like warm lather so, I been wanting to try a shaving scuttle mug. I found one that won't break the bank and it will be here Thursday according to tracking.

Qshave $25. Ceramic.

ASRazor shave, Tuesday July19th 2022

Razor : Ever-Ready 2nd Generation Streamline -Mfg 1949-53, excellent upper mid range & designed well for it's time line, it is a heavy duty eye candy razor if you like ASR razors IMO with a Gem blade. ER Streamliner will deliver excellent shaves with a mature technique. I like to use a spent spline flattened to raise the back of blade like thicker older blades for this time line.
Blade : Gem Personna SS PTFE(6) very sharp, great longevity, smooths out nicely + predictable.
Soap : Razorock Santa Marie del Fiore, nice vanilla scent with some light tobacco scent. I like this scent more than the aftershave.
Brush : Yaqi black Marble 24mm Silvertip badger, excellent lather generator, heavenly pillow like soft tips, gentle scrubber + excellent lather painter. This brush has a beautiful spray and it is not hard to reach small areas of the face at all, I was surprized!
Pre shave : (Dedicated Cashmere synthetic)Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser with a dollop of clear Aloe Vera on the cleaned beard area.
Prep : Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
Post shave : Razorock Santa Marie del Fiore + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results :CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers= Excellent shave with my Ever-ready Streamline 2nd Gen with a coated Gem blade.


Have some great shaves!
