MMMonday, Jan4th 2021- Good morning A.S.R affectionados

Razor: Gem Clog Pruf(Peerless model 17 nib SafetyBar)- MFG 1945

Soap: Razorock Lavender - excellent scent and excellent lather qualities, on 2nd tub.
Brush: Razorock Plissoft 24mm- this is my oldest most used at one time synthetic brush(old faithful) soft tips with a good scrub.
Pre shave: Brush wash my whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a dollop of clear Aloe vera gel on the beard area.
Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
Post shave: Razorock King Louis Lavender with witch hazel + a dollop of Nivea balm.
Results: CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers = excellent shave with my Gem Clog Pruf Peerless model and a coated Gem blade.( does not get a whole lot better).


Have some great shaves! Stay & think safe in these times!

 

Barrister and Mann | Eigengrau
BSB-Ti | HMW Extra Dense
Ever-Ready SE | Gem PTFE

​

Eigengrau is as-advertised. It opens with a decidedly accurate icy, clean air essence that's immediately sweetened by iris but on a muted level. It's difficult to ascertain when the frigid air ends and the slightly camphorous fir needle takes over. The cold air narrows the dynamic of the fir in much the same way actual cold air numbs one's olfactories such that there's not much green or woods accompanying the fir needle. It's all grounded in a dry clean earthiness with subtle muskiness. This fragrance smells like a real place. It's so frigid in its characteristics, I expect to feel a chilling effect à la Terror, but there is none. It's quite mysterious in that respect. That said, Eigengrau is in good company with Barrister and Mann's Terror and First Snow. The last element to fall away is the iris, but I hesitate to call this one a floral. By the nature of the fragrance and the balm medium, I lose track of it after about 90 minutes.

 

absolutely fantastic. Matt.. professional grade ..

 

Thank you, sir!

 

The Yaqi SCHaDE Black Edition perfectly matchs with Colonial Razors The General V1 AL black handle.
New entry in my FrankenRazor arsenal, and I already love It.

Tuesday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Barbasol Original Shaving Cream
Burma Shave Boar
Schick L
Personna Injector
CWR
Barbasol AS

The Barbasol Original Shaving Cream was applied with the Burma Shave Boar. One pass and touch ups with the Schick L with a Personna Injector blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Barbasol AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Tuesday 5th January
Yaqi Katana on Alpha handle
½ Trig Silver Edge Blue #1

 

Schick N1, Schick II twin blade, shave 17


Blade is still going but the shave though BBS in finish was a little too mild. Either my hair was to thick for the blade or it is finally starting to give up the ghost.

RR Syn.22mm
L`Occitane Cade soap
Occams-Enoch
Schick Proline [ 5 ]
Tuff Green A/S Lotion

My next task with this Razor is to see how it fares as a Travel Razor, in different environment to my home set-up where it is now most impressive.

 

Thank you Gary. The Salter smells fantastic.

Very interesting Type A. I don't believe I've ever seen one with a hammered finish handle. Pretty sure all of them I've seen have had a fluted handle.

 

Thanks. It is the only one I've seen like it too. It is sterling silver & looks very similar to the handle style on Schick B3's I have seen in photos.

Schick N1, Schick II twin blade, shave 18


One answer found. This blade is still good but it has mellowed enough that more than a days growth and it can't handle the hair like earlier so a day or more I need to use a more aggressive razor for the first pass is all. End result BBS finish achieved.
