Sunday Schick Shave, Aril 23rd 2023

Razor : Schick i2 type with Hydro magic feature for cleaning- Mfg 1954-57, nice tame mid range, they sure knew how to build razors back in the 1950's with no CNC machines. This is one of the most interesting and comfortable razors in my Schick collection. Had a close comfortable shave this morning with no drama.
Blade : Personna SS PTFE injector(9) sharp & smooth with excellent longevity.
Soap : Taylor of old bond street sandal wood cream(AKA=TOBS) nice herbal scented sandalwood 8/10 on scent + excellent lather qualities.
Brush : Yaqi" Barber pole theme" 24mm 2band badger, excellent lather generator, pillow like soft tips, nice splay scrubber + excellent lather painter. 2band badgers are one of the best over all for brush shaving needs IMO+ great handle to use.
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 : Ogallala Bayrum & Sandal wood + a dollop of Geo F Trumpers Sandalwood skin food.
Results : or CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers= Excellent shave with my Schick i2 with a Personna coated blade.


Have some great shaves!

Menthol Monday:

L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Junjie/Rapira day 8
MSC Peppermint Lime SS
Prep ASB
MSC Peppermint Lime AS Splash

My brother Fernando’s soaps and aftershaves are magnificent - this Peppermint Lime is a classic example of his talent. The scent is so beautiful - the lime is more dominant but you can still catch the peppermint notes. The soap is tallow based, it reminds me a lot of Gin & Tonic on the Rocks from Stirling but with more menthol, the lather explodes off the brush, it’s so slick, and the skincare is superb. Needless to say the Prep is my favourite balm, and the Peppermint Lime aftershave smells so delightful - it’s witch hazel based so there’s no burning or stinging from it not to mention how frigid it is. Three glorious passes gave me a dynamite BBS shave that I enjoyed immensely!

Wishing everyone a good week - be well and safe!

Menthol Monday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
C.O. Bigelow Shave Cream
Jayaruh #427 Synthetic
Yaqi ShaDE Razor
Gillette Silver Blue Half
CWR
Osage Rub

The C.O. Bigelow Shave Cream lathered well with the Jayaruh #427 Synthetic brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Yaqi ShaDE Razor and a Gillette Silver Blue Half DE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Osage Rub. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

How often do you ask for soaps from Fernando?

 

Shave of the Week Starting 4/24/2023

 

ASRazor shave, Monday, April 24th 2023

Razor : Ever-Ready 1914(AKA, Little lather catcher or LLC)-Mfg 1914-17, excellent mid range, one of my favorite razors for audio feed back also(sounds like scrapping toast ), the Gem blade is thicker & secure so the audio is nothing to worry about, I get some of the closest best shaves with this razor and irritation free mostly. This razor has the first generation of blade stops. If you enjoy ASR razors that use Gem blades and like close shaves the ER1914 razor is awesome to shave with IMO!
Blade : Gem Personna SS PTFE(6) very sharp, excellent longevity, smooths out nicely, predictable + safest blade to handle.
Soap : Taylor of old Bond street(TOBS)sandalwood. Very nice herbal scented sandalwood with excellent lather qualities. One of the most enjoyable sandalwoods I have used , 8/10 for scent strength.
Brush : Yaqi " Moka express" 24mm 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.
Prep : Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
Post shave : Proraso red sandalwood lotion with witch hazel + a dollop of Geo F Trumper sandalwood skin food.
Results : or CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers= excellent stellar close shave with my Ever-Ready 1914 with a coated blade.(It does not get much better than this for my shave!)

Have some great shaves!
