    Friday's Shave
    zcws.jpg

    Cold Water Rinse
    Colgate Shaving Mug Soap
    Tom's Brush B-3 Badger
    Brass TAR by Tom
    Gillette Silver Blue
    CWR
    Florida Water

    The Colgate Shaving Mug Soap lathered well with Tom's Brush B-3 Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Brass TAR Razor by Tom with a Gillette Silver Blue Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Florida Water. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    BE725FB8-EAF1-45B0-9932-8346100EA028.jpeg Doing a test for a friend Jennifer Koch from Farm House North. This is her Bamboo and teakwood shave soap. It’s a very soft soap. Great protection and slickness. She’s pretty new when it comes to shave soaps but has been making bar soap and other stuff like that for some time. I wouldn’t compare her to none of the other top k itch artisans in the game now. Prob the Etsy artisans though

    Shaving recipe for today.

    Pre:
    Cold wet flannel to my face & head.
    Pears Transparent Bar Soap.
    Brush: Anbbas 24mm Tuxedo synthetic
    Bowl Lather.
    Bowl : Home Bargains Stainless Steel Side Bowl.
    Lather : Palmolive Classic Shave Sticks. (grated)
    Blade: Personna PTFE SS. (D1.)
    Razor: Schick Type G Injector.

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

    (Face & Head Shave.)

    Greetings,

    (Tribute month to a great shaving Friend.)

    A new shave set up to start the weekend...Starting the month off with as a tribute to a fellow shaving friend Jeff @jgreenepa who at the moment due to an adverse reaction to his medication he is now in an ICU. My thoughts are with him and family wishing him a speedy recovery.

    Thanks to him In early January this year he kindly gifted me the Schick Type G Injector along with a Gem Featherweight SE razor, a fresh magazine of Personna PTFE SS injector blade & a few Ted Pella PTFE SS Gem blades, which gave me a great opportunity to venture and experience the wonderful world of vintage SE Injector Razors which have became my favourite shaving tools. Especially for dome/ head shaving.

    So as a tribute to him i will be using the same soap brush, & both the Schick Type G, & Gem Featherweight SE razors for the remainder of the month. Starting with the Schick Type G Injector fitted with a fresh Personna PTFE SS blade.

    An enjoyable close comfortable face & head shave with no errors to report...The Schick Injector's are such smooth efficient razors.

    Finishing to the shave off with a few small dollops of Nivea Men Fresh Kick ASB.

    My face & precious swede are feeling super smooth and smelling divine.;)

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