Injector and SE Shaves

ASRazor shave, Monday, OCtober 27th, 2024.

Razor : Star Bar #4 lather catcher. Mfg 1919-20, mild to tame mid range. The best razor I own with a reasonably fresh coated Gem blade to get a close comfortable stellar shave consistently. Star brand mastered this razor for that time period and proud I own one.
Blade : Gem Personna SS PTFE (2). Very sharp, excellent longevity, smooth out nicely, predictable + safest blade to handle.
Soap : Mitchell's wool fat, very mild scent with excellent lather qualities. First time using the puck like a stick application soap and results where excellent for first pass with rich thick lather.
Brush : Yaqi" Moka Express" 24 mm synthetic. Very gentle brush to work the face with excellent results for lathering.
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 : Pinaud Clubman with witch hazel + 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 Star bar #4 with a Gem coated blade. To bad not every shave was like this, will take it when it comes with joy!


Have some great shaves!

A most excellent shave today with the Bunny V2.2 which is shave 77 with the same Personna 74 in it. The Novelist Ultima by Ariana and Evans delivered an excellent lather as usual. This stuff is spectacular. And the wonderfully restored brush by Freddie Payne added to the already luxurious experience.

 

That's an impressive number.
