SE SOTD, Thursday, October 13th 2023

Razor : Ever-Ready Streamline 2nd generation (1950's)- Mfg 1949-53, upper mid range. Well built to last generations and a joy to use when mastered. This ASR has a totally different base plate that is thicker and is machined with a closed comb instead of stamped out. Had a close comfortable shave with a shim(RIGShim to smooth out shave) at the back to raise the spline to old similar blade specs.
Blade : Gem Personna SS PTFE (9) very sharp, great longevity, smooths out nicely, predictable + safest blade to handle.
Soap : Cyril R Salter Wild Rose cream- nice rose scent 5-6/10 with wonderful lather qualities.
Brush : Yaqi "Lucky Casinos" 26mm Timberwolf knot. Excellent lather generator, heavenly Luxury cloud like soft tips, Gentle splay scrubber + excellent lather painter. One of the best synthetics I enjoy in my collection!
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 : Neiva ever refreshing lotion + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results : or CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers= Had a close comfortable shave this morning with my Ever-Ready streamline razor with a coated Gem blade.


Have some great shaves!

Razor : Yaqi Excalibur SE 50mm with a Yaqi Milano handle 316 SSP- Mfg 2021>, Tame mid range. Simple clamping system with small head parts(I work over a small wash cloth when assembling blade to head.). I find this razor easy to work my beard and nimble enough to reach under the nose area. Great shave this morning.
Blade : Schick proline p30(2) sharp and smooth with reasonable longevity for AC blade.
Soap : Ach Brito Lavanda cream- nice mild scent of Lavada and a slight touch of mint + excellent lather qualities.
Brush: Yaqi "Mountain lake" 24mm 2band badger. Excellent lather generator, pillow like soft tips, nice splay scrubber + great lather painter. Very nice over all brush for my shaving needs.
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.
