    Razor: Valet Auto-strop Canadian variant- Mfg 1920's-30's NDCodes, I always like using these razors once you get them dialed in and have a sharp blade in one. I find the FHS-10 blade only good for a few shaves and then tossed. Great razor for it's time period from my limited research because you could shave & strop a carbon blade with the same razor.
    The FHS-10 is the only blade that will fit the later versions of Valet Auto-Strop, C types & below will take a modified Gem blade which is superior blade IMO.
    Blade: Feather FHS-10 (2)- great shave on first use and quickly fades out on sharpness, only blade that fits some Valet auto strop razors.
    Soap: Razorock Blue barber, nice barber shop scent with excellent lather qualities.
    Brush: Yaqi "the Panda" 24mm tuxedo knot, excellent lather generator, cloud like soft tips, nice gentle scrub, great painter.
    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.
    Post shave: Razorock blue barber AS with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizer lotion (balm) + scentless.
    Results: CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers = [​IMG] great shave with my Valet auto-strop with a feather FHS-10 blade.

    Not used this one for a while, not as smooth as a V3-A plate, but not a bad result.

    I'm visiting family in California for the week armed only with my Shake Sharp mk1 , twin BIC blades, and Trader Joe's cream. No complaints.

    Pre-shave: Warm water
    Lather: Hendrix Classics & Co Emperor of Oud
    Brush: Jayaruh #287
    Razor: Yaqi Excalibur v3
    Blade: Kai Captain Titan ProTouch MG (1)
    Post-shave: Not needed

    My first use of an AC razor was amazing. Zero irritation and DFS+ result. The HC&C soap was slick and smelling fine, easily whipped by one of my new special Jayaruh brushes. Just a great all-around shave and an excellent way to end 2021. Happy New Year and Happy Shaves!

    2021 was a rough year for many people. So it's fitting that shave 21 with this Gem SS PTFE was a bit rough too. And even more ironic that it was on the last day of the year. Luckily unlike 2021 I was able to load a fresh blade mid way through and finish the shave without any more issues.
    Vintage Williams and Aqua Velva along with the Zenith Boar performed fantastic. And today's watch is the G-Shock DW5600E.

    RR 400. SE Plissoft noir
    Cyril Salter Solid soap
    Claymore Evolution
    Feather Proguard ( 1 )
    Pitralon Polar A/S Lotion

    With Two days growth to clear, the guarded blade was OK but did not deliver the closest of Shaves.I rather think that
    perhaps the Kai guarded blade may work better for me, when I get a new head.

    My first shave of 2022 was much better than my last shave or 2021.
    The Enders with a fresh custom handle had a lot to do with that.

    Lather Catcher Sunday's Shave
    sos220102.JPG

    Cold Water Rinse
    START Shave Cream
    Jayaruh #1 Silvertip Badger
    Gem Jr. Bar Lather Catcher
    Personna GEM SS PTFE
    CWR
    Pinaud Clubman AS

    The START Shave Cream lathered well with the Jayaruh #1 Silvertip Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gem Jr. Bar Lather Catcher Razor with a Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Pinaud Clubman AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Arko stick grated
    Occams Oren 3dot
    Kai Captain Titan Mild Pink ( 5 )
    Pitralon Original A/S Lotion

    Away for a couple of nights so no Shave on Sunday, and then waited till we got back home for today’s Shave.Just made sure I did not rush and Two days growth cleared away very nicely. Will be interested to check on regrowth tomorrow to compare it with another Razor which I found a bit disappointing.
