ASRazor SOTD, Thursday, May 11th, 2023

Razor : Ever-Ready streamline, 2nd Generation, 1949-53, upper mid range, well built and designed to last + eye candy to myself for a ASR razor. I like to use this razor when blade count is close to 7-10 uses. It takes a few shaves to master this razor but it delivers a nice shave. I did not care to use this razor when learning it and know I enjoy it more, go figure! I use a RIGS shim underneath the modern spline area because it smooths out the shave nicely. Excellent shave this morning with no issues.
Blade : Gem Personna SS PTFE(10) very sharp, great longevity, smooths out nicely, predictable + safest blade to handle.
Soap : Yaqi Musketeer Rapier, nice scent (Aramis?) with excellent lather qualities, Yaqi commissioned Master Soap Creations S.A for their soap and fragrance line of products. One of my favourite scents and soaps to use .
Brush : Yaqi "Casino Clubs" 26mm Husky knot, excellent lather generator, heavenly luxury cloud like soft tips, gentle scrubber + excellent lather painter.
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 : Yaqi Musketeer Rapier splash + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results : or CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers= Excellent shave with my Ever-Ready Streamline SE razor with a Gem coated blade.


Have some great shaves!

 

That blade adaptor looks like it's made of brass. I have some made of modified vintage blades. Is that what yours is or did you custom make one out of brass?

 

I have made several from vintage Enders blades, but they are frail. I got this one at Hendrix Classics & Co. https://hendrixclassics.com/products/enders-speed-razor-adapter?_pos=1&_sid=45f13f8b4&_ss=r
It is a bit pricy, but it is well made and the pricing reflects the handcrafted part.

 

Thank you. I just ordered one.
