ASRazor shave, MMMonday, January 22 2024. Any ASR brand or GEM razor that uses a Gem Blade is welcomed 7days a week! Razor : Ever-Ready 1914,1st generation blade stops- Mfg 1914-17, mid range to upper mid range. Very well built razor, it was also called little lather catcher(AKA-LLC). The 1914 delivers a excellent shave and the audio feed back is very enjoyable & has been my delight. This razor was used by soldiers during WW1 and countless civilians also. Had a excellent close comfortable shave this morning. Blade : Gem Personna PTFE(9) very sharp, excellent longevity, smooths out nicely, predictable + safest blade to handle. Soap : Yaqi Musketeer rapier, very nice scented soap, some claim it is similar to Aramis classic cologne but it does not last as long + excellent lather qualities. Master soap creations was commissioned & makes Yaqi line of soaps and splashes. Brush : Yaqi "Robin" 24mm boar bristle hair, Excellent lather generator, soft split end boar bristle, nice splay scrubber + great 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= Had a close comfortable shave this morning with my Ever-ready 1914 with a coated Gem blade. I always get decent shaves with my 1914 with a blade that has a high usage I have experienced. Have some great shaves!

ASRazor shave, Tuesday, January 23 2024 Razor : Ever-Ready streamline, 2nd generation- Mfg 1949-53, mid to upper mid range. The second generation had slight changes to base plate as compared to 1930's model it incorporated a machined closed comb safety bar for better drainage. The overall looks are unique eye candy and is one of the most interesting razor models to master of the ASR models IMO. I use a RIGS shim to mimic the old thicker splined blades of that era for more comfortable shaves(tilts the blade properly for that razor design IMO). Had a wonderful close comfortable shave this morning. Blade : Gem Personna SS PTFE(10) very sharp, excellent longevity, smooths out nicely, predictable + safest blade to handle. Soap : Yaqi Musketeer rapier, very unique scent that is addictive( Aramis classic cologne mimic) + excellent lather qualities. Master soap creations S.A was commissioned by Yaqi for their soap and aftershave line of products. Brush : Yaqi "Red Zebra" 26mm snow leopard synthetic knot. Excellent lather generator, heavenly, luxury cloud like soft tips, gentle splay scrubber + excellent lather painter. Yaqi 26mm synthetic knots are awesome 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 : Yaqi Musketeer rapier splash + 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 Ever-Ready streamline with a Gem coated blade. I like to use the Streamline razor when blade # of uses is high to get last last drop of life out that great blade! Have some great shaves!
