ASRazor shave, Tuesday, May 28th 2024

Razor : Gem Featherweight, 1st Generation, 1oz. Mfg 1950-52, mild to tame mid range. I had a itching to use a another Gem or ASR razor after MMMonday shave and looking through my razor racks this little jewel brought back some great thoughts of a nice comfortable shaves.
Well built and designed to last with a little care. Had a close and comfortable shave this morning.
Blade : Gem Personna SS PTFE (4) Very sharp, excellent longevity, smooths out nicely, predictable + safest blade to handle.
Soap : Razorock Lavender , one of the better soaps that has ever come out of Razorock IMO. The scent that this soap produces is a masculine lavender with some of the best lather qualities I have ever used. (obsolete?? for now, 3rd tub.)
Brush : Yaqi "Purple haze" 24mm synthetic Mew knot. Excellent lather generator, luxury cloud like soft tips, gentle splay scrubber + excellent lather painter. Great brush for my shaving needs I have concluded.
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 King Lois Lavender with witch hazel + 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 ASR Gem Featherweight razor with a coated Gem blade. Great shave today!

Have some great shaves!

Hi Friends,

Here my Wednesday Shave (29.05.2024)


Razor: Karve „C-plate“ // Blade: Gillette Platinum -Personna med Prep // Soap: RazoRock SMdF // Brush: custom made Olivewood // Aftershave: Alum - Thayers WH - RazoRock SMdF

I had a good shave. Started with the Gillette Platinum blade until i recognized that the blade was almost done. Rough and tugging.

So i switched to a used Personna med Prep. Much better but not with the smoothness i expected (or hoped).

Nevertheless 2,5 passes to be nearly BBS.

The wonderful brush had not problems with the soap. The Alum had big bites to it, as well as the matching Aftershave.

All in all an 8 out of 10, with a fresh blade it would have been better i guess.

Have a great time, enjoy your shaves and stay safe and healthy.

Greetings
Thorsten

The Williams Mug Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #424 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the AutoStrop A2 Razor and the Personna GEM SS PTFE blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Cella After Shave Balm. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Have a great day!​

 

Wednesday morning:

Close to being a Grand Freeze!

L’Oréal Men Expert Facial Wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Junjie/Wilkinson Sword day 14
Bundubeard Kudu’s Kick SS
Prep ASB
Osage Rub AS Splash
Bleu de Chanel Deodorant Stick
Bleu de Chanel Parfum

These Bundubeard soaps are awesome - most of them are glycerine based but they’re among the best of that kind. This Kudu’s Kick has such a lovely coffee/peppermint scent, it gives fabulous lather that has plenty of slickness, it has plenty of menthol in it, and the postshave feeling is great. The Prep and the Osage Rub-aka the Rubby Dubby Doo finished the job beautifully. Finally the delightful Bleu de Chanel fragrance and I’m off to the golf course with the guys. Another picture perfect three pass BBS shave that was sheer rapture!

Enjoy your day and your shaves my friends!
