I realized only today the brush can't be a Finest!
I just kept writing down what I thought it was on the site, but must have made a mistake Frank Shaving would have not made such an error!
This seems to be a Silvertip!
Oh well... we'll survive!

TOST Thursday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse

Jayaruh #369 Synthetic
Valet AutoStrop VB1
Valet AutoStrop (14)
CWR
Pinaud Clubman

This is my fourteenth shave with this blade. My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Morning TOST Shave Soap face lathered well with the Jayaruh #369 Synthetic brush. I did two passes with the Valet AutoStrop VB1 razor with a Valet AutoStrop blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Pinaud Clubman AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Thank you. Yes, I cherish the Kent. I picked it up for $5 USD at an antique shop. It was obviously unused and still boxed:

Notice what they called "Pure Badger" back then and what you would get today.

I can kick myself in the tukhis for selecting this setup and on the other hand I’m happy that I used it. It’s very hot here now and although this Lord is a wonderful cream, it’s too lightly mentholated. Everything else about it is great - it smells very nice, it lathers like crazy, and the postshave care is terrific. The Prep gave me some extra cooling that I needed as well as lots of moisturizing and soothing. The Booster Polar Ice aftershave (to me) smells beautiful but although menthol is listed as an ingredient, there’s NO cooling effect from it. This shave turned out beautifully BBS!
