The Virgilio Valobra Shaving Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #449 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the SHaDE-Matic razor and the Half Gillette Silver Blue blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Mennen Skin Bracer. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

What can I say - the scent of this Frosted Lavender soap and aftershave is so GORGEOUS - to me it’s the most magnificent lavender scent I’ve ever experienced. The soap is tallow based like all of Fernando’s soaps, it’s such a fantastic latherer, the slickness is awesome, the menthol sensation is not for the faint of heart because it’s Stirling Glacial cold, and the skincare is wonderful. The Stoffel balm from Bundubeard is a peppermint scented menthol monster with great soothing as well as moisturizing, and the Frosted Lavender aftershave gives nothing but frigid love and its delightful scent. Last but not least the heavenly Bleu de Chanel fragrance and everything is under control. Three glorious passes did me proud - a dynamite BBS that was sheer perfection and so enjoyable!

Wishing you all a terrific week ahead!

GEMonday, June 3rd 2024

Razor : Gem 1912(1921 model) with gold wash coating. Mfg 1912-40's, tame mid to mid range. Millions of 1912 razors where Mfg for world use from mainly USA + later on Great Britain or (UK). This success razor was the best production model for ASR corp IMO. Built to last with reasonable care, had a close comfortable stellar shave this morning.
Blade : Gem Personna SS PTFE(5) very sharp, great longevity, smooths out nicely, predictable + safest blade to handle.
Soap : Razorock XXX, nice cologne clean masculine scent with excellent lather qualities. Top tier for myself + on 4th tub.
Brush : Yaqi" Ferrari" 24mm bleached boar bristle. Excellent lather generator, soft split end tips, nice splay scrubber + great lather painter. Great handle + this knot shed a lot at first(defect sale brush) but it turned out to be a very nice brush to work the face when it stopped shedding. I have not seen Yaqi make bleached boar brushes since this one.
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 : Razorock XXX splash + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results : or CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers= Had a close comfortable shave this morning with my Gem 1912 with a coated Gem blade.


Have some great shaves!
