ASRazor shave, Monday, June 24th 2024

Razor : Ever Ready streamline 2nd Generation. Mfg 1949-53, well built to last and still works well 70 yrs later. I like to use a RIGS shim to smooth the shave because the razor was refined to use the Gem blades with thicker spine back before the modern blade was offered in the mid 50's + nice razor to use when blade uses are higher IMO. Had a close comfortable stellar shave this morning.
Blade : Gem Personna SS PTFE (9) very sharp, excellent longevity, smooths out nicely, predictable + safest blade to handle.
Soap : Razorock XXX regular, very nice clean XXX scent with excellent lather qualities. One of my favorites!
Brush :Yaqi "Moka Express" 26 mm synthetic. Excellent lather generator, luxury heavenly cloud like soft tips, gentle splay scrubber + excellent lather painter. Very good hybrid test brush, one of my best synthetic brushes.
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 XXX splash with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results : or CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers= Had a close comfortable stellar shave this morning with my Ever-Ready stream liner with a Gem coated blade.


Have some great shaves!

I started the shave with the Pro Super blade since I saw many people like that blade with this razor but the blade was not smooth for my face and I swapped to the Kai Captain after shaving half my face.
The Kai Captain was much smoother to my face. It was a pretty good shave.

Lather Catcher Sunday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Palmolive Shave Cream
Jayaruh #199 Synthetic
1907 Gem Jr. Lather Catcher
Personna GEM SS PTFE
CWR
Clubman Pinaud After Shave

The Palmolive Shave Cream lathered well with the Jayaruh #199 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the 1907 Gem Jr. Lather Catcher and the Personna GEM SS PTFE blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Clubman Pinaud After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

I also find the Kai Captain titian mild blades excellent with good longevity also.
