Wed 7th September

RR Syn 24mm
Williams Mug soap
PAL Injectomatic
NOS Schick Platinum- Holland ( 3 )
Williams Aqua Velva A/S Lotion

Not done a Williams Wednesday for a while, just too much soap. An excellent lather for The PAL with a Dutch blade onboard ensured that the Shave went well and a superb finish was attained.

Somehow yesterday's shave and EDC picture got deleted. Here is a make up photo. I had a great shave with a Gem 1912 on a red bakelite handle. LA Toja whipped up well with my Rubber set 400 with Zenith baor knot. Thayer's was a nice finishing touch. The watch of the day was my Casio G-Shock GW-M5610 and the EDC knife was the Spyder Co. Para 3 with S30V blade.

Clark Improved King w/Personna injector blade
Razor is meant for a Gem style SE blade but it holds an injector blade perfectly. It also is a very deceptively aggressive shave. You feel the blade but not the burn until the end of shave. Easy to get yourself into trouble with this like I did using a heavy hand.

 

Sunday Schick shave, September 11th 2022

Razor : Schick E2 Canadian variant, Mfg in 1930's > 40's, excellent mid range, for a light razor a light touch works the best, Very enjoyable shave this morning.
Blade : Personna SS PTFE(9)very sharp, excellent longevity, smooths out nicely + predictable.
Soap : Yaqi Musketeer Rapier, nice scent with excellent lather qualities. The scent is similar to Aramis cologne they claim. It has been so long since I used Aramis cologne I'm not sure but I like this scent. Yaqi commissioned Master soap creations S.A for their line of soaps and fragrances.
Brush : Yaqi mysterious space 24mm Timber wolf whiskers synthetic, excellent lather generator
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 : Witch hazel beard cleanse + Musketeer Rapier splash + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results :CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers= excellent shave with my Schick E2 Canadian variant with a coated Personna blade.

Have some great shaves!
