SE Sunday's Shave


Cold Water Wash
CTAPT Shaving Cream
Jayaruh #30
1907 Gem Jr.
Original Gem Cutlery SE
CWR
Granddad's AS

My prep was just a cold water rinse. The CTAPT Shaving Cream face lathered well with the Jayaruh #30 brush. I did two passes with the 1907 Gem Jr. Lather Catcher Razor with an Original Gem Cutlery SE blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Granddad's AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Great routine! I like Williams Wednesday’s. I can also use Williams on my Back to the Future Friday’s. Marty and Doc would have definitely seen some Williams Mug Soap in part 3 of the trilogy...

I have thought about Williams Wednesday. I love Williams Mug!

As for fun, I simply tried to be creative and think of daily ideas that didn’t always tie a day to one specific product for each of the days. Doing only that has the chance of becoming “routine” possibly. With the ideas so far, I get to be somewhat flexible and guarantee I am able to try something new.

As for scheduling, I plan to simply use it as a guideline. I’ve found that with most anything in life, by writing it down, I’m more likely to do it.

Finally, I will say this is supposed to be a flexible “routine” for me. Hence why I’m asking for ideas from you fine fellows so I can shake it up when I feel the need but I have some sense of guidance each day - not stuck early in the morning staring at my sink wondering what I’m going to use.

Have a blessed and restful Sunday, gentlemen.

 

All good choices! Thanks.

Maybe my use of the word routine was a poor choice of words. My intention is to not have shaving feel so “routine.” It was more specifically a guideline however not strict by any means.

@Jayaruh T

Ok, gotcha. That makes more sense now. I guess I just didn't understand at first.

 

Awesome brush! I can't stop looking at it.

Barrister & Mann Seville today. 20 seconds to load the Thater Silvertip brush. Easy, thick, slick, lather. Personna Med Prep still in the Gillette NEW Short Comb. Excellent smooth, close, shave. I finished with Bentley Intense EdT.

Have a great day!​

 

So, what's the trick to keeping the Semogue 620 decal in tact? Granted, I've had mine for several years now but it did vanish (save the decal outline) some time ago.

 

I have no idea. This is one of my oldest brushes, purchased in 2014 and in the rough hands of my 27 year old son for two of them. He did a number on the knot, but the decal is fresh as new.

 

No comment on the PAA "Dirt" duo??

 

Thank you.

 

very nice..
