    Accomplice a gray morning , I took the opportunity to try a soap I had never used before.
    Then I tried Personna on another razor.

    At that time and with that fresh, the vetiver was excellent, the razor blade worked as well as ever: an excellent shave with two passes and a great scent.

    Now I'll spend the rest of the day regretting the sun had come out...

    Cold Water Rinse
    Palmolive Shaving Cream
    Ever-Ready C-40
    Fredrick Reynolds 5/8
    CWR
    Pinaud Lilac Vegetal AS

    The Palmolive Shaving Cream face-lathered well with my Ever-Ready C-40 Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Fredrick Reynolds 5/8 gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Pinaud Lilac Vegetal AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Saturday morning:

    Neutrogena Men Facial Wash
    Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
    Super Speed/new Derby
    Brutalt Bra SS
    Bull Dog Moisturizer
    Max Disinfecting AS Splash
    Bleu de Chanel EdP

    It’s been a long time since I used this Brutalt Bra soap and I’m really happy that I went with it today. It’s made in Norway and it’s got a mild but very nice lavender scent as well as rich, slick lather, and excellent skincare. The only fly in the ointment is the price I paid - to me 25$ is way too much for such a small container. The Bull Dog moisturizer did a great job as a balm, and the Max Disinfecting aftershave stung me like hell for a second or two but then it felt wonderful. The new Derby blade ensured a perfect BBS shave which I enjoyed so much!

    Be safe and healthy!

    Just a nice shower with my lavender-mint shea butter soap, and Rose of Sharon Acres shampoo bar. Then I touched up my legs with the electric. It does not irritate at all, but is not as close as a wet shave. Still, it’s fine in between, on a day that’s warm enough for shorts.

    I'm not known as a fan but this '49 Milord arrived in my recent lot acquisition and I shave with everything I got. Too mild for my taste but more efficient than I anticipated. More pick ups from the Enders than I like but if I didn't shave my head I could see this be a razor I could go to occasionally. Build on this example is superb, doors perfectly aligned.[​IMG]

    Razor: Gem Micromatic open comb or MMOC- Mfg 1930-41, the razor that helped Gem pull through during the dirty thirties. One of best razors Gem made IMO and was revolutionary for its time with the first Twist to open(TTO) ever.
    Blade: Gem Personna SS PTFE (10) great all around blade, sharpness, longevity and smooths out during its life cycle nicely.
    Soap: Tabac- great soap that lasts & lasts........triple milled with a mild floral scent with great lather qualities.
    Brush: Yaqi tuxedo knot 24mm with black marble handle, excellent brush that splays,scrubs,soft tips &paints well.
    Pre-shave:Brush wash my whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser+ a dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on beard area.
    Prep: cold water rinse after each pass of 3 + pickups.
    Post shave: Razorock King Louis Lavender aftershave with witch Hazel + a small dollop of Nivea balm.
    Results: CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers = [​IMG] excellent shave with my Gem Micromatic razor today.

    Today’s SOTD sponsored by “Saturday” my favourite word in the whole weekly vocabulary! Today’s razor the Colonial General SS SE. I love this razor and it is easily one of the best shavers I own.

    B&M Tuesday is a lovely lavender and violet blend and it is pretty spectacular scent wise. I could use this one and Seville exclusively and be quite happy.

    Beautiful three pass BBS shave! Ahhhh, Saturday how I love you! Enjoy the weeks, check in with your family and enjoy your shaves. Stay safe!
