Greetings,

Early morning shave.

A Great shave to finish my shaving week off wonderfully.

My recent run with the Personna Comfort Coated paired up with Parker 24C has been absolutely fantastic!

The love/hate classic Williams Mug shaving soap yet again provided me an slick acceptable lather for the shave leaving a wonderful post shave feel. The Spanish version of the Williams Aqua Velva ASL has became one of my favourite post shave applications....Superb stuff!

A comfortable 2 pass + pick ups silky smooth shave with no errors to report. Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Nivea Men Fresh Moisturising Gel.

My face is feeling cool smooth & smelling divine.

The ARKO Shaving Cream lathered well with the Semogue Excelsior 1305 Boar brush. Two passes and touch ups with the GEM G-bar Razor and a Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave.

Thursday morning’s Grand Freeze:

L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Rapira day 4
Captain Nemo Absolute Zero SS
Prep ASB
Captain Nemo Absolute Zero AS Toner
Bleu de Chanel Deodorant Stick
Bleu de Chanel EdP

Man alive my face is frozen to the max and feeling great - the Absolute Zero soap and the matching aftershave are two menthol atom bombs with a very nice aquatic/minty scent. The soap’s vegan formula gives it fantastic lather with tons of slickness, the menthol sensation is so intense that it feels like any of the Stirling Glacials, and it gives excellent skincare. The Prep felt so heavenly when I massaged it on to my face and neck, while the Absolute Zero aftershave toner added a boatload of extra icicles Finally the gorgeous Bleu de Chanel fragrance and my day is ready to start - time for a nice coffee. Three passes really did me proud with a super duper BBS shave that was so much fun!

Enjoy your day and your shaves - be well and stay safe!

Razor : Gem 1912 with gold wash 1921 variant- Mfg 1912- 1943, tame mid range, well designed and built to last generations, I believe this was the most successful razor for the ASR brand ever and sold millions of them because they worked so well. Used a RIGS shim under the spline also, spring needed more clamping of blade is my reasoning. Had a close comfortable shave this morning with no issues.
Blade : Gem Personna SS PTFE (6) very sharp, excellent longevity, smooths out nicely, predictable + safest blade to handle.
Soap : Ach Brito Lavanda cream, nice slight mint Lavender scent with excellent lather qualities, 1 of my favorite creams.
Brush : Yaqi "Goblin" 24mm synthetic- 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 : Ach Brito Lavada with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results : or CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers= Excellent close shave this morning with my Gem 1912 gold washed razor + a coated Gem blade.


Have some great shaves!
