Saturday's Straight/SE Shave


Proraso Pre Shave
Tabac Shaving Cream
Jayaruh #217
Gold Dollar 6/8
Schick G
Personna Stainless
CWR
Thayer's Lemon WH
Lucky Tiger

I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Tabac Shaving Cream face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #217 synthetic brush. I did the first pass with the Gold Dollar 6/8 straight and finished with the Schick G and a Personna Stainless blade. I ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Lucky Tiger AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Great photo. The brush is just gorgeous.

 

Thanks Clint.

My sotd


Razor - 1912 English Gem
Blade - Gem (8)
Brush - ever ready reknot synthetic
Soap - stubble trubble
Post - thayers medicated witch hazel
Aftershave - pinaud lime sec

This past week I changed my routine quite a bit. For the past month I've been getting a lot of razor burn. I've always chased the baby and some days I get it without issue and other days I get it with some burn. So since I was sticking to SE this month I decided to try something different. I started each shave ATG, and since my facial grows in all directions, I did 3 passes all ATG followed by one pass WTG for the clean up. I have to say I haven't been burned once this week.

Today's shave is no different. I think the blade was at its end , but I'm bbs smooth. I love the scent of this soap and it performs well. The aftershave is musky from being a vintage bottle that I think has gone bad. But I'm starting to really enjoy it now.

A Stirling SEptember

Blade: GEM stainless
Razor: GEM Pushbutton
Brush: Jayaruh boar
Lather: Stirling Pharaoh's Dreamsicle
Post: Witch hazel, Stirling Pharaoh's Dreamsicle aftershave
WTG, touch-up

Enjoyed the Pushbutton today. Smooth shave. Will swap back to an injector for the next shave on Monday. I'm enjoying this month of great SE shaves from everyone!

Have a great weekend!

 

Tonight's shave was with a fantastic Japanese Folding Kamisori. I had a very sharp and smooth 2 pass shave, that left me Samurai smooth. I had zero issues. This is a finely made, and heavy razor.

Razor- Japanese Kamisori. "Suzuki No1". Asymmetrical grind, but I honed it Western style. This works out great.
Brush- B400 By Tom(@twhite ). Boar hair.
Soap- Stirling Glastonbury. Just finished the puck. I'm a fan of Stirling soaps, just not so much a fan of this one, for smell and lathering ability.
Aftershave- Shulton Old Spice. NOS Ships Bell Decanter.
