Injector and SE Shaves

Sunday 3rd September
General Steel - Proshave S #1 Feather Pro #6 - Yaqi Sagrada Familia - Hampshire Wool Fat No1 - Williams Aqua Velva AS - Aloe Vera Gel

I gave the Proshave blade another chance, but was correct in the first place. It is the worst AC blade I've ever used. Lesson learned.

Cold Water Rinse

SlimGem Synthetic
J.A. Henckels Rapide
J.A. Henckels Wedge
CWR
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Aqua Velva Iced Blue AS

The HC&C GunSinger Shave Soap lathered well with SlimGem Synthetic brush. Two passes and touch ups with the J.A. Henckels Rapide Razor and a J.A. Henckels Wedge Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Dickinson's Witch Hazel and then Aqua Velva Iced Blue AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

SE September + GEMonday, September 4th 2023. "Micromatic Monday" thread, any ASR razor that uses a Gem blade any day of the week welcomed.

Razor : Gem G bar- Mfg 1955-58, tame mid range. Well made to last generations, brass base material with chrome coating. Excellent shave this morning with no issues.
Blade : Gem Personna SS PTFE(5) very sharp, excellent longevity, smooths out nicely, predictable + safest blade to handle.
Soap : Razorock Orange, nice citrus scent with excellent lather qualities.
Brush : Yaqi "ever helpful" 22 mm 2band badger. Excellent lather generator, pillow like soft tips, excellent splay scrubber + great lather painter. This little brush has a short loft with High density knot ideal for folks who like the scrub when lathering IMO.
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 : Italian barber(Razorock) Amici with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results : or CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers= Excellent shave with my Gem G bar with a coated Gem blade.

Have some great shaves!

 

How does that West Indian Lime compare to Royall Lyme?

Shave 52 with the Bunny V2.2 and 49 with the Personna 74 loaded went very well. The picture didn't turn out quite like I was hoping but I didn't have time to keep fiddling around with the setup.

 

not sure ,never tried royall lime.this west indian lime has a floral/peppery note to it.

Somehow I got my shave count off. I just went through and double double checked my text thread with the razors creator Tom White. To the best of my knowledge I have texted him every shave so far. According to that record of shaves the updated shave count is now 55 consecutive shaves with the Bunny V2.2 and 43 with the Personna 74 loaded. As of yesterday's shave pictured here.
