ASRazor shave, Tue, June 22nd 2021

Razor: Star bar #4 lather catcher(Kampfe brothers, Brooklyn NY)- Mfg 1919-20, excellent daily driver, Tame mid range, one of the best razors I own and enjoy going back in time during the roaring 1920's.
Blade: Gem Personna SS PTFE (5) very sharp, great longevity, smooths out nicely and very predictable.
Soap: Razorock blue barber, nice scent and excellent lather qualities.(great using a newer Generation synthetic brush IMO)
Brush: Chinese 21mm synthetic, OK lather generator, soft tips, great scrub + OK lather painter. First synthetic brush I owned 4 years ago and the newer generation synthetics have come a long way. Great inexpensive travel brush, mainly what I used it for.
Pre shave: Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on the cleaned beard area.
Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
Results: CCS,DFS,BBS, no irritation + no weepers = excellent shave with my Star bar #4 lather catcher with a coated Gem blade.

Williams Wednesday - 22nd June.

The Grosvenor - 404 mixed
Williams Mug soap
RR S/S Hawk V3- OC
Kai CT Protouch MG [ 1 ]
Williams Aqua Velva A/S Lotion

A rather extravagant move today as I binned a blade on 4 , to try out the Kai Guarded Blade in the Hawk V3-OC for the first time. It may well be an expensive blade, but it seems to work well on my quite harsh strong beard. The Shave was very comfortable and I had no problems clearing away even the most stubborn areas of growth. Very pleased with an all round Top Notch finish.

Away Day Shave

Learnt a lesson today- after quite a few days using guarded blades, used my Occams Oren with a Schick Proline.
Got a bit keen to get a close Shave and pushed it a bit going ATG, as a result got a cut and some weepers my first in a long time.

First use of this re-handled Schick still not sure if it's a late E or a G. Several people have commented elsewhere as to why it could be one or the other. Either way it shaved great. I will have to do a comparison shave with ones I know to be a G and an E soon.
I made the handle slightly longer than the ones on my other E or Gs and it feels wonderful. Although if I make another I think I will go a bit bigger yet.

Wednesday 30th June
Cadman Custom - Vintage Old Spice - Stoll Jr. 3D Lather Catcher - GEM Stainless Coated #7 - Old Spice A/S - Aloe Vera Gel

The 3d printed Stoll Jr. Certainly lives up to it's lather catcher name. With no clogging, I completed each pass before needing to rinse. Lovely smooth result after a lovely, relaxed set of passes. The baton handle is quite inspired, being very comfortable to hold.
Very happy with @SlimGem's design.
