    Supply SE Saturday's Shave
    zcws.jpg

    Cold Water Rinse
    b-pure Shave Soap
    Bunny B-400 by Tom
    Supply SE Injector
    Supply Black Label Injector
    CWR
    Aqua Velva Musk AS

    I am starting a new tradition today. From this point on, it shall be known as "Supply SE Saturday" so that my Supply SE razor can get more use. It is a fine piece of work, and it does not deserve to sit unused on the shelf. So let it be written. So let it be done.

    The b-pure Shave Soap lathered well with Bunny B-400 Badger Brush by Tom. Two passes and touch ups with the Supply SE Injector Razor with a Supply Black Label Injector Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Aqua Velva Musk AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    I tried my hand with the Feather DX again today. Not as close as I like but, good enuff!
    2-pass shave. WTG, and ATG.
    Chiseled Face "Ghost Town Barber" is very nice scent.
    Geo F Trumper calms the face

    Tomorrow will be better! I am glad I decided not to use a Professional blade and used a Guard blade instead!:happy005:

    It will be so nice to get back to my SE & DE razors! Cuts galore today! Back into it's box goes the DX!

    Alum bar made my face scream today so, not as good as yesterday. Nice lather from the Chiseled Face "Ghost Town Barber" and the "Classic Shaving" synthetic brush. Geo F Trumper calms the face well.

    Back to normal tomorrow and pleasant shaves. Shavettes are just to much for my liking. I want to enjoy my shaves and today, the joy was gone! I did the cleanup with the Star 1912 and got a little enjoyment. I have much easier razors to use than these shavettes are. Maybe once in a while when I want a challenge but, not every day. Plus, I have a ton of DE blades to use.

    No more shavettes for now!
