One day, I will get myself a boar brush. All mine are Badger or synthetic. I must say, I do prefer the synthetics.

I like the big blades with some heft for extra stubble. Three days growth now nice and clean

Shave of the Week Starting 5 September 2022

Henson AL13+++ razor
Treet 7 Days blade
PAA Amber Aerolite brush
Williams SS (vintage)
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
Assorted A/S

First things first, vintage Williams is, to me, as good a soap as there is out there. Easy to lather and provides great protection/cushion/glide. I could use it every day but, of course, I won't cuz I would run out of it too quickly. At any rate, great shave; smooth/close/comfortable. The Henson/7 Days combo is extemely effective and my face liked it a lot. All is well. Now go enjoy your day folks

Clix E-Z-Flo 500 w/Heavy Handle Razor
Bic Chrome Platinum Blade
FS Extra Dense Two Band Badger Brush
Viking Revolution Peppermint Eucalyptus Shave Cream
Sea Breeze Astringent

MMMonday, September 5th 2022, I had a ASRazor shave today.

Razor : Ever-Ready streamline 2nd Generation - Mfg 1949-53, upper mid range, well built to last generations and needs a light touch to master this interesting razor. I also put a folded spent blade spline shim under the existing shim to mock older blades to smooth it out slightly also but shaves Ok with out one also.
Blade : Gem Personna SS PTFE (9)- Very Sharp, excellent longevity, smooths out nicely + predictable.
Soap : Razorock "The Dead Sea" unique scent that is pleasurable + excellent lather qualities.
Brush : Yaqi Atlantis 24mm synthetic- excellent lather generator, cloud like soft tips, Great splay scrubber + great lather painter, very close face feel to a 2 band badger IMO.
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 The Dead Sea splash with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results :CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers= Excellent shave with my Everready Streamline 2nd Gen with a Gem coated blade.

Hi Gary. The Cashmere is probably my favorite synthetic knot that I have in my collection and I have over a dozen synthetics. I also have 21 boar brushes and half a dozen boar/badger brushes. I prefer SOC boar but others prefer Omega boar which I do have a couple of those in my den. They do take time to break in but worth the breakin time.

The Tabac Shaving Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #1 Silvertip Badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Schick M Adjustable and a Supply Black Label Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Tabac AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Awesome shave my friend!

Tuesday morning:

L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Canadian Tech/Wilkinson Sword day 7
Palmolive Classic SC (Italian version)
Proraso Blue ASB
Brut Deodorant Spray
Brut AS Splash
Brut EdT

I absolutely love this Palmolive Classic cream from Italy - actually it’s exactly the same as the green tube version which is sold everywhere else in Europe. It has the same clean, soapy, classic scent, the lather whips up so easily - it gets so thick, rich, slick as well as cushiony, and it leaves such a comfortable postshave feeling. The Proraso Blue balm is really moisturizing and soothing, its scent is mild but pleasant, and the Brut’s scent has become a favourite of mine once again much to my wife’s chagrin. (don’t worry I still love you baby!) After three passes I wound up smoother than silk - what a great shave!

It was a very pleasant MMBT shave!

Razor - Micromatic Bullet Tip
Blade - GEM Personna SS blade 2nd
Pre-shave - Proraso White
Soap - The Dead Sea
Brush - rescued Perfecto badger
Post shave - Thayers Toner "Rose Petals" & Proraso balm
AS - Proraso

This soap is easy to lather. I built lather in my bowl and then worked the brush on my face to build it even more. VERY nice soap! I do not know how to describe the scent but, I like it! Rainy day again so, I warmed the bowl before working the lather. Very pleasant 2-pass shave WTG & ATG with minor cleanup. Very efficient razor. I also did the dome to knock down head stubble. I got almost no feedback from the alum bar. No cuts, nicks, or errors.
