Today’s shave:
Moved the B&M remnants into a larger shave bowl.

ATT S1 slant razor
Astra SP blade

PAA Starcraft syn brush
CL Gratiot League Square AS

I don’t reach for this 2015 slant razor near enough. I always find that it could be the best razor I have.

Great shaves to everyone!

edit: no Clubman AS today. My mistake, it was on the counter so l pulled it in the pic, not thinking. No way would I mask the great scent of GLS.

3+ day growth, been healing from the scratches that beastly Barbasol gave me.

Cooper 3 piece OC
Personna Super Stainless
TSD Brut type soap
nylon brush

2 pass BBS. It's too early for me to get a good read on this one but first impression says, well made and nice, smooth shave (the excellent blade helps). More test drives needed.

Funny thing, which others have noted: the base of the screw is shaped for a proprietary blade. It will accept a modern one if you crunch down on it. That crunch holds your blade very tightly.

This means while the blade is held centered and stable, you can back off the handle to open the gap a good bit, letting this razor be pretty danged aggressive. Backing it off too much dangerously warps the blade, though. Anyway, cranked down tight it still opened up one of the cuts that I thought was healed enough to shave over.

Don't know about the Monobilt but this Cooper is yet another of those ancient safeties that deserves some respect.

Alum witch hazel and off to bed.

 

the monobilt does the same to a modern blade as well.

Greetings,

Early morning shave.

A Great shave to finish my shaving week off wonderfully.

Maiden shave with the Wilko Synthetic which is one of many recently gifted 60th birthday presents from family & friends it done a great job to be honest I'm surprised as I did not expect it to lather so well as it does it'll make a great travel brush. A great addition to my humble synthetic shaving brush collection.

The Star of my shaving week have been the Personna Comfort Coated blade which have performed superbly feeling smooth and efficient with each shave. I will continue to use both the Parker 24C & Personna Comfort Coated duo for the remainder of the month.

The Nivea Men Sensitive Pro shaving cream provided an excellent lather with little effort. A comfortable 2 pass + pick ups shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Aloe Vera Cooling Gel.

My face is feeling cool smooth & smelling divine.

Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.

Thursday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Archaic Eureka Shave Soap
Jayaruh #371 Badger/Boar
1957 Gillette Rocket
Gillette Nacet Stainless
CWR
Dickinson's Witch Hazel

The Archaic Eureka Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #371 Badger/Boar brush. Two passes and touch ups with the 1957 Gillette Rocket and a Gillette Nacet Stainless Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Dickinson's Witch Hazel. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Thursday morning:

L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Rapira day 11
Delmy SC
Prep ASB
Floid Vigoroso AS Splash

Oh la la this Delmy cream from India is so nice as well as so cheap. I love the scent, just a small amount is needed to get great lather, there’s a very pleasant menthol sensation, and it leaves the skin feeling so cool as well as comfortable. Needless to say the Prep provided lots of additional postshave care, and the Floid Vigoroso’s old school barbershop scent was so delightful along with its strong menthol kick. Three passes did the job for me - another cracking good BBS shave that was so enjoyable!

Wishing you all a good day - be well and stay safe!
