Ever-Ready 1924 "Shovel Head"
Gem Stainless (6)
Simpsons CH2 Synthetic Faux Tortoiseshell "The Soap Destroyer"
Stirling Baker Street
AV Ice Sport

For some reason the Shovel Head felt hyper aggressive last night. Maybe the blade was on its last legs, but I really had to focus on a light touch and staying on the cap. In the end I ended up with a DFS, no nicks or weepers with just a spot or two of irritation. Followed up with a splash of AV Ice Sport which had a little bite to it, then the menthol kicked in and all was good. Have a good weekend my friends!

 

You did an amazing job of capturing the color and the beauty of the Jade CH2, Mark!

15 SEptember


Pre-Shave: Hot Shower
Brush: 24mm Silvertip, Frank Shaving (FS)

Today I was just wanting to try and get back to my normal routine & hoping it would also help with my pain level to get cleaned up. For today's shave I hoping for unadulterated lather. What soap gives a better lather than Arko or Williams but a mix of Arko and Williams and it did not disappoint me. I used the FS Silvertip for the second time. This is a nice dense brush with a 25-25.5mm knot at the top of the handle and a 52.45mm loft. The only negative thing I could say about the brush is the lack of back bone. If it was set just a couple of mm deeper it would be a better brush. I may at some time in the future reset the knot in another handle. Today's razor was a GEM 1912. It may/may not be another GEM Brooklyn. I did a two pass shave with a cleanup pass under my jaw. Finished with some new Clubman After Shave I picked up the other day on the way home from the hospital. All this left me with a DFS.

 

SEptember 15, 2017

Pre-shave: Hot shower
Brush: RazoRock synthetic
Soap: RazoRock Oil of Lavender
Razor: Schick injector E3
Blade: Schick (3)
Post Shave: Thayer's witch hazel, Nivea Sensitive Men's Post Shave Balm, Aqua Velva AS

I really like this RazoRock soap. It lathers well and I had enough for both a face and head shave. Normally, I find I can't do more than 2 comfortable shaves with these Chinese made Schick blades, but this one I stretched to 3 shaves. In spite of 48 hours of stubble, it was a comfortable shave and I got a DFS.

Have a great weekend everyone!
