ASRazor shave (MMMonday), Jan 29th 2024

Razor : Star bar #4, Lather catcher- Mfg 1919-20, mild to tame mid range. Excellent designed razor for its time era and great results it gives. For a razor over 100 years old it performs well with a fresh blade 1-3 uses(I like to brag about this razor!) and it will give any razor ever made a run for its money IMO. Audio feedback is excellent for folks who enjoy scrapping toast feedback when shaving! Had stellar close comfortable shave this morning.(It does not get much better a shave for myself IMO.)
Blade : Gem Personna SS PTFE(1) very sharp, excellent longevity, smooths out nicely, predictable + safest blade to handle.
Soap : Ogallala Bayrum + sandalwood, nice Bayrum scent and the sandalwood does something to sweeten the scent over time to me it seems + great lather qualities.
Brush : Yaqi "Panda" 24mm Tuxedo knot. Excellent lather generator, cloud like soft tips, nice splay scrubber + excellent lather painter.
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 : Ogallala Bayrum & sandalwood + a dollop of Geo F Trumper skin food.
Results : or CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers= Had a stellar close comfortable shave this morning with my Star bar #4 with a fresh coated Gem blade. It does not get much better shaving then this!


Have some great shaves!

 

Wise way to handle it, Gary. T&H ain't Stoylin.

 

I bet you took that with a telephoto lens....makes things much larger than they really are.

No. I think I have about nine version which will last me a long time. I have not bought any soap in a while. The den runneth over if you know what I mean.

Take care Paul.

 

3 x on the Android.

 

I do know what you mean, which is why I started a "bedroom den" to add to the regular den.
