Cold Water Rinse
Eskimo Tuxedo Shave Soap
Jayaruh #437

Personna Super (82)
Cold Water Rinse
Humphrey's Witch Hazel
Mennen After Shave

I am using my Gillette Frankenrazor this week. The head is an Old Type and the handle is from a Fat Handle Tech.

The Eskimo Tuxedo Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #437 Silvertip Badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette OC Frankenrazor and the Personna Super (82) Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and Mennen After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

GEMonday, November 18th 2024

Razor : Gem G bar. Mfg 1955-58, tame mid range. Well built to last with a different shoe handle. First Gem razor I used and never looked back on that great decision. Excellent heavy chromed IMO.
Blade : Gem Personna SS PTFE (6) very sharp, excellent longevity, smooths out nicely, predictable + safest blade to handle.
Soap : Razorock XXX, nice clean unique scent with excellent lather qualities.
Brush : Yaqi" red Zebra" 26mm snow leopard synthetic knot. One of the best 26mm synthetic brushes I own for that great luxury face feel & enjoyment.
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 : Razorock XXX 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 Gem G bar with a coated Gem blade.

1st time out with the TFS shave soap. Very nice scent, lathered looked great but the shave could have been better. Of course, this was the first use so I'll need to get the water/soap ratio's dialed in better. We'll see how it goes. Now go enjoy your day folks.

Early Morning shave.

As always the monsavon soap provided a luxurious protective slick lather. The monsavon au lait it is my favourite shaving soap to date. It's slick, protective and the post shave feeling it gives is superb, making each shave I've had with it a enjoyable pleasurable experience. Outstandingly good, what more can I say.

Finishing the shave off with with a few small dollops of Cien Men Sensitive ASB.

My face & precious swede are feeling smooth & smelling divine.

Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.

No 77, Vintage Schick (2) turned out a bit rough, I might have got the Cyril R Salter a bit thin, and/or need more time with this razor
Great result, but not what I would call a pleasant shave, 2 minor weepers, shrug, can do better next time

 

absolutely fabulous..
