SOS: December 2023

Razor - Muhle R41 with a fresh Gillette "Silver Blue" blade
Pre-shave cream - Proraso Sandalwood
Soap - MWF whisked into my Shave Nation ceramic bowl
Brush - Simpson X2 Commodore badger hair
Post-shave - Thayers Facial Toner "Lavender" & Geo F Trumper "Skin Food" Sandalwood balm
After-shave - Clubman Pinaud Reserve "Whiskey Woods"

I used to call the R41 "The Beast" before I got the Hawk v3 and the open comb head. THAT is the new "Beast" now! I am not sure if I can get more than 2 shaves with these blades or not. We shall see!

ASRazor shave , Monday, Dec4th 2023

Razor : Star bar #4 lather catcher- Mfg 1919-20, tame mid range. Over 100 years later the this little lather catcher is performing like a champ. It works the best with a fresh blade on 1-3 uses I have experienced and I enjoy it very much. Had a close comfortable shave this morning.
Blade : Gem Personna SS PTFE(1) very sharp, excellent longevity, smoooths out nicely, predictable + safest blade to handle.
Soap : Razorock Santa Maria del Fiore, nice vanilla scent with light tobacco + excellent lather qualities.
Brush : Yaqi "Mocha express" 26mm 2band badger, Excellent lather generator, pillow like soft tips, nice splay scrubber + great lather painter. Bought this one sale 2 + years ago on a bargain sale. At the time no one seemed that interested in badger brushes IMO.
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 Santa Maria del Fiore with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results : or CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers= Had a close comfortable shave this morning with my Star bar #4 lather catcher with a fresh Gem coated blade.

Greetings,

(Face & Head shave)

First combined face & head shave using the king C. Gillette which after the first few strokes on my head I found my shaving angle and felt comfortable to carry on...After my combined xtg/atg + pick up passes my head felt smooth with no feeling of irritation or any signs of blood running down my precious swede. I will do the same with the WS Sword Premium TTO in my next weeks head shaves for comparison.

The Cella shave cream provided me with an excellent lather its such a wonderful performer with it's cherry almond fragrance.

An enjoyable close face & head shave with no errors to report. Finishing the shave off with a generous splash of Denim Original ASL.

My face is feeling cool smooth, & smelling divine.

Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.

The Tabac Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #447 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Supply SE Injectorr and a Supply Black Label Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Humphrey's Witch Hazel and then Tabac AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
