    Sorry for getting back late. The RS-18 is one of my favorite shavers. All week it delivered enjoyable shaves. I am glad I bought a lot of the lube strips in the end. I knew it wouldn't be long before they were not available. The funny thing is I still use the original set. I should take a picture with it disassembled then next time I use it so newer folks can see the design. It is a shame they re not longer available. Thanks Ron for the interest.

    Great lather from the Southern Witchcrafts soap. I had two days of stubble that the Supply SE took down easily. Great shave - smooth and comfortable. My face feels great! :)

    Sunday morning:

    King C. Gillette Facial Wash
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Canadian Tech/Wilkinson Sword day 5
    Ingram SC
    Nip Man ASB
    Floid Vigoroso AS Splash
    Lagerfeld Classic EdT

    I’m really enjoying my Canadian Tech razor a lot - yes, it’s on the milder side of the DE spectrum but it sure is a very efficient performer. The Ingram cream from Egypt lathered like a wild man, it’s got pretty much the same nice minty/medicinal scent as the discontinued UK version, a somewhat stronger menthol sensation, and the skincare is pretty damned good. The Nip Man balm is from the UK, it has a very nice minty scent, it’s very soothing as well as moisturizing, and there’s plenty of menthol cooling to it. Finally the Floid Vigoroso aftershave with its old school European barbershop scent and strong menthol kick was so delightful. Three passes left me mega BBS - another wing dinger of a shave!

    Have a good Sunday - be well and safe![​IMG]

    I had another very pleasant shave with the lather catcher. It is becoming one of my most favorite razors! Today I did a simple single pass shave and got close enough to stop. I want to be able to shave again tomorrow so, I quit after that! one pass WTG with minor cleanup on jawline. Simply amazing! No cuts, nicks, or weepers. Alum bar was mostly silent. I have binned the blade after this 9th shave. It was beginning to tug a bit.

    Razor - 1907 Ever Ready "Lather Catcher"
    Blade - GEM Personna SS 9th shave (binned)
    Pre-shave - Proraso "Red" Sandalwood
    Soap - Proraso "Red" Sandalwood
    Brush - Simpson Commodore
    Post shave - Thayers Toner "Lavender" & Edwin Jagger balm "Sandalwood"
    AS - Proraso

    Supply SE Saturday's Cold Water Shave

    Cold Water Rinse
    B-pure Shave Soap
    Oscar11 Synthetic
    Supply SE Injector
    Supply Black Label Blade
    CWR
    Lustray Spice AS

    The B-pure Shave Soap lathered well with the Oscar11 Synthetic brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Supply SE Injector and a Supply Black Label Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Lustray Spice AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Yes, price is a definite negative. I like lavender scents and also woodsy ones and sandalwood, so I have often thought about Castle Forbes' lavender and cedar & sandalwood cream and balm sets ... and then I look at the prices and just shudder...

    Sunday's shave:

    prep-Stoylin Soap(Mentha Scrub)in shower
    shave-Stoylin Sheep
    brush-Stoylin "No-Name" synthetic
    razor-Gillette Sensor Deuce Pivot DisposeABLE
    A.S.-Stoylin Glacial Lime.

    Kind of an " all-Stoylin" shave but for the razor. The Sheep soap looked quite thirsty, so I made sure to "water" it well before getting down to action. 2 passes, both real good, but I thought I might have clipped myself just under the right ear going for that nasty area that has given me fits of late. Whatever happened, if anything, didn't result in any pain. No negative issues(other than the ear-clip). The Glacial Lime felt real nice, on this Indian Summer day. Super Duper Excellent.

    Soap : Yaqi "The Green" nice fragrance with excellent lather qualities. Yaqi commissioned Master soap creations South Africa artisan to do their line of aftershaves and soaps.
    Brush : Yaqi Dandelion 24mm Cashmere knot synthetic, excellent lather generator, heavenly cloud like soft tips, gentle splay scrubber + excellent lather painter.
    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.
