SoS: January 2023

Thank you. It looks pretty straight to me. It is a joy to shave with this razor.

 

MMMonday, January 9th 2023

Razor : Ever-Ready 1912, Mfg 1936-55 England, excellent mid range, very well designed razor and built to last with some care, very smooth this morning for a stellar shave. Very enjoyable shaves of lately with all my razors it seems!
Blade : Gem Personna SS PTFE(4) very sharp, excellent longevity, smooths out nicely, predictable + safest blade to handle.
Soap : Razorock Classic, nice sweet almond & cherry scent with excellent lather qualities. Very nice soap + affordable.
Brush : Yaqi "Ever helpful" 22 mm 2 band badger, excellent lather generator, pillow like soft tips, excellent splay scrubber, great lather painter. With the 22mm HD knot with a slightly shorter loft with this badger, might be ideally designed for the person who really enjoys the scrub but with no scritch. Very enjoyable brush to use this morning for a nice change.
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 : Italian barber(Razorock) Amici with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results :CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers= excellent stellar shave with my Ever-Ready 1912 with a coated Gem blade. (It does not get much better a shave for myself.)

Have some great shaves!

Tuesday morning:

LaRoche Posay Facial Wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Goodfella 3 Piece/Astra Green day 4
De Vergulde Hand Extra Fris SS
Proraso Blue ASB
Murray & Lanman Florida Water AS Splash
Aramis EdT

This LaRoche Posay facial wash has a light exfoliant in it which is excellent for removing dead skin and it does a great job of softening up my tough stubble. The Extra Fris version of De Vergulde Hand is a very good soap - its scent is really nice. I would call it aquatic with soapy notes, it lathers so easily, and it has a pretty comfortable postshave feeling. The Proraso Blue balm has a mild but pleasant scent that I can’t describe, and it’s so moisturizing as well as soothing. The Florida Water smells so nice and old school but it doesn’t interfere with the Aramis. Smoother than silk from three glorious passes - another brilliant BBS shave!

A special thanks to my good friend Alex for sending me this lovely soap!

The Tabac Shaving Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #199 synthetic brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Enders Speed Shaver and the Schick Proline B-20 Injector Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Tabac AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

I went back to some Fantastic Goo today:

prep-Stoylin Liquid Bodywash(Mtn. Man)in shower
shave-Edge Gel
razor-Gillette Sensor Deuce Pivot DisposeABLE
A.S.-Vetiver de Guerlain


Nice shave. The Edge is nearing the bottom of the can, but you just can't tell how much is left. Gamble time. I got out a good amount. Lucky me. One pass. Zero cuts, Knicks, and Polka-dots. I find myself doing a little more shaving on the cheeks than I used to.. Old age? I'll leave that to you to answer. Or maybe I meant "Getting Older". Anyway, ditto down at Cactus Nation. My shaves aren't casual" anymore. Perhaos that is part of "Getting Older". The Vetiver is a nice aftershave-comes on a bit chilly, but warms up quick. Passion 4 Men to close. Anyway-Super Duper Excellent.

 

Yup, looks straight to me as well! Seems like the edge of the blade is resting against the teeth, so they will keep the blade in its right place.
