Pre-shave: Van Der Hagen Shave Butter
Lather: Stirling Soap Co "Haverford"
Brush: Jayaruh 287
Razor: GEM Jr.
Blade: Personna GEM PTFE Stainless (3)
Post-shave: Omega Alum Stick, Stirling Haverford Aftershave, and HC&C White Star balm



I recently won an auction for what I thought was one GEM Jr. with the baton handle, a razor that I have been wanting to try. It turns out that the auction was for two of them so now I have a spare. This is such an excellent shaver. The blade guard lets just enough of the edge touch the face to get an exceptionally close shave but not enough to catch the skin and cause nicks. I'm sure it's possible but this just felt so mild but efficient.

I had heard good things about Stirling's Haverford but hadn't yet tried it. I order samples of the soap and splash and the fragrance is amazing. My wife says it's her favorite so far out of everything I have tried and I am close to agreeing with her. Even now, well over 12 hours later, I can still smell it a bit.

I ended up with an exceptionally smooth BBS result. My face is still completely smooth over 12 hours later. Thanks for reading and have a great day!

Lather Catcher Sunday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Shannon's Soaps Indigo Oud Shave Soap
Jayaruh #415 Synthetic
J.A. Henckels Rapide
Henckels Wedge
CWR
Pinaud Citrus Musk Cologne

The Indigo Oud Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #415 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the J.A. Henckels Rapide Lather Catcher Razor with a Henckels Wedge Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Pinaud Citrus Musk Cologne. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Thanks for your service - from an Israeli army veteran. God bless you and give you good health.

Sunday morning:

Neutrogena Deep Clean Facial Wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/King C. Gillette day 5
MSC Vintage Spice SS
Fino ASB
MSC Vintage Spice AS Splash

The more I use this Vintage Spice soap and aftershave the more I love them - they both have the EXACT same delightful scent as the discontinued Shulton Old Spice soap and aftershave. The soap’s tallow formula gives it such wonderful lather with awesome slickness, and great skincare. The Fino balm is unscented, and the moisturizing, soothing effect from it is terrific, and the Vintage Spice aftershave is witch hazel based so there’s no burning or stinging - just a nice comfortable feeling with that gorgeous Old Spice scent that I love so much. Three passes left me smoother than silk!

Enjoy your Sunday - be well and safe!
