MMMonday, June 12th, 2023. Micromatic Monday, any ASE razor that uses a Gem blade, any day of the week.
Razor : Ever-Ready (ASR) 1924(AKA-Shovel head)- Mfg 1924-33, mid range, well built and finish is great for a 100 year old razor. The razor was designed around the old thicker splined blade so I use a shim (RIGS) underneath the modern blade spline to tilt it more to smooth it out nicely. This is a nice razor with a different way of loading a blade with a hinged flip top cap and loaded from the rear. Close comfortable shave this morning!
Blade : Gem Personna SS PTFE (5) very sharp, excellent longevity, smooths out nicely, predictable + safest blade to handle.
Soap : TOBS Herbal Sandalwood, nice fragranced Herbal soap 6-7/10 for my nose + excellent lather qualities.
Brush : Yaqi "Black marble" 24mm 3band silvertip badger, excellent lather generator, luxury pillow like soft tips, nice splay scrubber + great lather painter. Big dense knot with a large splay, handle works very well in my hands.
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 + Ogallala Bayrum and Sandal wood+ a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
