    TNNSER 3D
    Gem S/S ( 4 )
    Pitralon Classic A/S Lotion

    Back to a Gem rotation after indulging in AC/ SE Shaves for a few days. The TNNSER is quite aggressive in comparison to AC/SE Shaves, and requires mor work to get a similar quality.

    I had an excellent shave this morning with my newly acquired Ever-Ready Steamline. I got to borrow one a while ago and have wanted one for quite a while.

    Jayaruh #432
    1902 Kampfe Brothers/Star LC
    Star Wedge
    CWR
    Lilac Vegetal AS

    The Mitchell's Wool Fat Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #432 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the 1902 Kampfe Brothers/Star Lather Catcher Razor with a Star Wedge Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Lilac Vegetal AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Sunday Schick shave, May 15th 2022

    Razor : Schick Golden 500 with hydro-magic injector- Mfg 1957-64, longest razor I own 5 3/8 inches length, It must be a unisex razor because of the length I'm thinking. I receive decent shaves with it, the handle might be to long for some folks.
    Blade : Personna SS PTFE(4) excellent blade, very sharp, great longevity, smooths out nicely + predictable.
    Soap : Razorock Don Marco- nice bold citrus scent with excellent lather qualities.
    Brush : Yaqi Cavern lake 24 mm synthetic, great lather generator, cloud like soft tips, great 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 : Italian barber Amici splash with witch hazel,
    Results :CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers=[​IMG] Excellent shave with my Schick Golden 500 with Hydro magic + a coated Personna blade.

    Soap : Razorock Don Marco, nice citrus scent + excellent lather qualities.
    Brush : Yaqi 26mm Moka 2 band badger- excellent lather generator, pillow like soft tips, nice scrubber + great lather painter.

    Alpha G4 Syn 28mm
    OSP Bay Rum
    Personna Super Stainless Injector
    Schick S/S Single- Japan (( 3 )
    Tuff Red A/S Lotion

    Took me some time to get to grips with this little Razor, but now it is a regular in rotations. With Two days growth to clear, the order of the day was short strokes and no rush. Very pleased with the quality of finish.

    SE SOTD, Friday, May 20 2022

    Razor : Valet Auto- strop, C1 Canadian variant- Mfg 1920's, excellent mid range, I modified the gap to 6-7/1000 from 11/1000 of a inch to make it more smoother a shave, I get great shaves with this razor with the closer gap and is a joy to own.
    Blade : Modified Gem Personna SS PTFE(5) excellent blade, very sharp, great longevity, smooths out nicely + predictable.
    Soap : Yaqi Musketeer rapier - nice scent with excellent lather qualities, excellent soap designed by Master soap creations is my understanding for Yaqi.
    Brush : Yaqi mysterious space 24mm silvertip, excellent lather generator, heavenly pillow like soft tips, gentle scrubber +excellent lather painter. One of my best brushes from Yaqi for natural hair.
    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 with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
    Results :CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers=[​IMG] Excellent shave with my Valet- Auto strop with a coated Gem blade.

    Stirling Syn 26mm
    Ach Brito Mogno
    Schick Type F
    Schick S/S Single- Japan ( 4 )
    Tuff Green A/S Lotion

    Though not the most aggressive of Razors, I find it to be quite efficient and always get a good Shave with it. Was particularly good today with a Japanese Schick on board.
