  2. ASRazor shave, Tuesday, December 27th 2022

    Razor : Star bar #4 lather catcher, Mfg 1919-20, excellent tame mid range, Well designed and built to last many generations with some care. This is one of the best shaves a person can get with a new blade IMO. It just was made perfect for my shaving needs. If a person gets a chance to find one "buy it" is my advice + it looks beautiful also!
    Blade : Gem Personna SS PTFE(1) very sharp, excellent longevity, smooths out nicely, predictable + safest blade to handle.
    Soap : La Toja stick, very mild scent + excellent lather qualities.
    Brush : Yaqi " Sagrada Familia" 2 band badger, excellent lather generator, soft pillow like tips, great 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.
    Prep : Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
    Post shave : Fine fresh Vetiver with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
    Results : CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers=[​IMG] Excellent shave with my Star Bar #4 lather catcher with a coated Gem blade.

  16. Thank you. It's a Fluffy Imd. Brush made from copper plumbing parts. It has a strong magnet in the base to hang it up when not in use, which is a very cool feature. It was a gift from Fluffy.

    A fresh blade in The Hawk made up for a poor shave with it last time out. Quite surprised that the FP was below par on only its 3rd use.
