    ASR SE SOTD, Friday, April 28th 2023

    Razor : Ever-Ready British streamline 2nd generation-Mfg 1949-53, upper mid range, Built to last with a little care, one of the nicest looking ASR razors made IMO. I like to put a RIGS shim underneath the modern blade spline for tilt to smooth out the shave. Once mastered this razor performs well with stellar close shaves, this morning was no exception for a close shave mostly carefree shaving but with a little more thought needed than usually.
    Blade : Gem Personna SS PTFE(7) very sharp, excellent longevity, smooth's out nicely, predictable + safest blade to handle.
    Soap : Cyril R Salter Wild Rose cream- nice rose scent(5-6/10) with some excellent lather qualities.
    Brush : Yaqi "Lucky dice" 26mm, brown whiskers synthetic Fan knot, excellent lather generator, heavenly luxury cloud like soft tips, gentle splay scrubber + excellent lather painter(one of my best lather painters.).
    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 : + Razorock King Louis Lavender with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
    Results : 1-10 dial - Copy (2) 1 10.545.jpg CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers=[​IMG] Excellent stellar shave with my Ever-Ready Streamline with a coated Gem blade.

    Shaving Recipe for today.

    Prep: Warm shower:/ Dove Men+Care Clean Comfort Body + Face Wash.

    Pre:
    Cold wet flannel to my face & head.
    Pears Original Transparent Bar Soap.
    Brush: Omega 11047 Mixed Midget.
    Face & Head Lather.
    Lather: La Toja Shave Stick.
    Razor: Merkur 34C. - Vidyut/Supermax Super Stainless. (D1)

    Post:
    Cold water face & head wash with brush squeezing's, Cold Water Face & Head Rinse./Alum Rub. /Homemade (~Spring/Summer mix~) Lemon, Eucalyptus, Tea Tree, Essential Oils.3 Menthol Crystals Mixed Together With 200ml of Care+Witch Hazel./ La Toja ASL./ Nivea Men Fresh Moisturising Gel.

    (Face & Head Shave) (Shave Stick Week)

    A new shave set up to start the weekend...After the comfortable close shaves with the Merkur 34C recently I've decided to do a head shave with this little razor. The verdict?

    I wasn't quite sure if the 34C/V-SM blade duo would be efficient enough for head shaving as I normally choose one of my Injector razors or a more aggressive razor/blade setup for my head shaves as my head stubble is very coarse and tends to dull blades far quicker than with my face shaves... However the Super-Max didn't fail to perform with enough efficiency with no indication of feeling tuggy or dulling throughout both shaves.

    It's been a while since i used the la toja shave stick, another item I've had in my den for a long time which to be honest another shaving soap I've infrequently used in the past.

    The La Toja stick like the Lea stick has a good slickness & post shave I really like the fragrance of the this shave stick, it's got a fresh clean fragrance, which to my nose reminds me of dove soap with a masculine edge to it.

    Another enjoyable close comfortable acceptable face and head shave with no errors to report. Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Nivea Men Fresh moisturising Gel.

    My face & precious swede are feeling cool smooth, & smelling divine. ;)

    Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen. :cool:

    Saturday morning’s Grand Freeze:

    L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
    Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
    Junjie/Rapira day 13
    Stirling Glacial Citron SS
    Prep ASB
    Stirling Glacial Citron AS Splash
    Christian Dior Eau Sauvage EdT

    Now that the Glacial stuff is back again I can think about restocking on them - did I ever enjoy the Glacial Citron soap and aftershave this morning. The scent is so delightful - lemon, lime, as well as tangerine all come together to make it so refreshing, the lather is such a joy to whip up, the menthol sensation is so intense, and the skincare is A1 like every Stirling product. The Prep and the Glacial Citron aftershave completed the job perfectly. I always loved the Eau Sauvage because it’s so old school and I get lots of compliments when I wear it. Three passes gave me a cracking good BBS shave but the blade is getting tired!

    Happy shaving gentlemen - be well and safe![​IMG]

    Saturday Straights' Cold Water Shave

    Cold Water Rinse
    Arko Shave Stick
    Jayaruh #424 Synthetic
    Joseph Elliot 6/8 Wedge
    CWR
    Clubman Pinaud Lilac Vegetal After Shave

    The Arko Shave Stick lathered well with the Jayaruh #424 Synthetic brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Joseph Elliot 6/8 Wedge straight gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Clubman Pinaud Lilac Vegetal After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
