This was an absolutely fantastic shave. The most whiskers I've left in the sink all week.

 

Razor: Gillette 195
Blade: Dorco 301
Brush: Kimson horn
Lather: C&S No.88
A/S: none

 

Sunday/Domingo
Tabac shavestick
1520 Semogue boar brush
GEM MM open comb with Ted Pella blade
Proraso AS
Caswell Massey ASB.

The 1520 is "blossoming"so well.Its a perfect brush for facelathering with shavesticks.The MM is one of the best razors that I own.No blood today,just a perfect BBS shave on 3 passes.

 

After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:

Shavemac 22mm silvertip
Schick adjustable injector/ NOS Personna twinjector blade
Irisch Moos SS
Lucky Tiger AS
no EdT(strange)

Third shave with this razor/blade combo, and it's even better than the first couple. This razor provides some of the best shaves with any shaving tool I've used to date. Yeah, I could use this injector every day, although it might get a little boring after a while. For the moment though, it's a very fun change of pace.

This Irisc Moos stuff is pretty darn good. Slick and cushiony lather, and I sorta like the scent(unlike Tabac). I never use this as a shave stick, preferring to use a slice in a bowl and lather like a puck. Takes about 30 seconds of swirling, and then I'm loaded for bear........heh.

I'm left with a BBS face, and my neck whiskers have been dealt with in an especially effective manner. It's a benefit of a slim head profile that most injectors are known for.
