Sunday SE Shave, March 24th

Razor : Yaqi Excalibur SE 50mm AC type razor head with a Milano 316SSP handle. Mfg 2021>, tame mid range. Interesting simple blade clamping design. Small head parts makes me work on a wash cloth when assembling. A very affordable 3pc SE razor if a person is interested in SE shaving. Had a close comfortable shave this morning!
Blade : Kai Captain titian mild (2) sharp and smoooth with great longevity.
Soap : Speick stick, nice mild spicy scented triple pressed soap with excellent lather qualities. Very good soap.
Brush : Yaqi " Casino clubs" 26mm timber wolf knot. Excellent lather generator, luxury heavenly cloud like soft tips, gentle splay 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 : Razorock King Louis lavender 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 Yaqi SE Excalibur razor with a Kai titian SE blade.


Have some great shaves!

 

I recently picked up some of that soap. What a great scent.

 

Another excellent shave with A&Es The Novelist Ultima formula. This soap smells absolutely delightful. This was my first shave with a Vintage Wilkinson Sword razor. This particular model can take a modern Gem blade with no modifications, that's a big bonus in my book. The brush is a custom gaboon ebony and burlwood I made with a Maggards mixed badger boar knot. The luxurious lather was whipped up in a heavyweight copper bowl by Captains Choice Products. It's my favorite lather bowl.

 

Yes, it really is special.

ASRazor shave, MMMonday, March 25th 2024

Razor : Gem Push button, Mfg 1958-65, tame mid range. A very nice razor to use if in good working order. There seem to be a craze back years ago for push button transmissions in cars, it seems that craze has returned 60 + years, because mostly all new cars come with push button starts + even some transmissions(History repeats its self once again). Had a close comfortable shave this morning.
Blade : Gem Personna SS PTFE (2) very sharp, excellent longevity, smooths out nicely. predictable + safest blade to handle.
Soap : Speick stick, nice mild spicy scented with excellent lather qualities. Top tier soap in my den IMO.
Brush : Yaqi " Cola" 22 mm synthetic. Excellent lather generator, cloud like soft tips, nice splay scrubber + excellent lather painter. Nice handle to hold onto + not a lather hog either. Great brush for very little soap needed to generate nice lather.
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 : Ach Brito Lavanda with with 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 Push button razor with a coated Gem blade.

Have some great shaves!

ASRazor shave, Tuesday, March 26th 2024

Razor : Gem Damaskenne open comb, Mfg 1912-15, tame mid range. This is the real Mckoy Gem 1912 because it is open comb and has a stropping attachment in the handle. This little razor is over 112 years old approximately and still performs excellent with a fresh Gem SS PTFE blade. I lucked out when I bought this razor years ago in a razor lot sale on line. These where the first models Gem came out with in OC and then went to the closed comb for many years for a total successful product. Had a stellar close comfortable shave this morning.
Blade : Gem Personna SS PTFE (3) very sharp, excellent longevity, smooths out nicely, predictable + safest blade to handle.
Soap : Razorock "The Dead Sea", very nice unique scented soap with excellent lather qualities. One of my favorites.
Brush : Yaqi " black marble" 24mm 3band silvertip badger. Excellent lather generator, luxury pillow like soft tips, nice splay scrubber + great lather painter. I like the handle and always laugh at the size of bloom that occurred after 1st .... cleaning.
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 "The dead Sea" splash with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results : or CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers= Had a stellar close comfortable shave this morning with my Gem 1912 OC razor with a Gem coated blade.

This is an interesting French razor. I like the handle but I'm not totally sure about it overall. It's in excellent condition though. The soap on the other hand I have no issues saying weather or not I like it. I really like it l. It has a mild scent but it's wonderful and the scent lasts. I can still smell it now and then and it's been over 8 hrs since I shaved. The lather was really dense and performed quite well too. Not real airy like foam or whipped cream but not quite Greek yogurt in consistency either.
