Very cool razor! Or should I say, what a GEM! Nice!

 

Thanks Robert!

 

SotD: Saturday

Razor: Gillette SS Flare Tip (courtesy of @rmcintyre84 )
Blade: Lord Super Stainless (1)
Brush: Edwin Jagger Best Badger
Lather: B&M Latha-Lavanda
Post: Witch hazel, Nivea Balm, Pierre Cardin for Men cologne

Another great shave today! The flare tip is a great little razor. It's similar to my Weishi (after all the Weishi was designed after the Gillette SS); but obviously, better! Allowed for a quick and smoothc BBS shave. The Lord blades are a good blade; not in my top 5, but probably my top 10. Was going to try a new blade, but decided to go with something fairly familiar considering the razor is new to me. The EJ and the B&M built up a beautiful lather and I LOVE the smell of it! Finished off with some witch hazel and Nivea balm for a close comfortable shave. =)

Prep: Burt's Bee's Chamomile & Soap Bark

SB: Semogue 620 Boar
Razor: Schick E2
Blade: Schick
ASB: Stirling Glacial Lemon Chill

Shower Soap Bar: Grandpa's Pine Tar
Cologne: Nautica Voyage


Good morning guys. I had such a wonderful shave with my E2 this morning. It's such a fun razor to use with both hands and efficient yet smooth and exacting. Route 66 Lumberjack performed beautifully as always providing more than enough slick cushion for a proper comfortable shave. The Glacial Lemon Chill balm is always a happy ending, oh how it freezes my face and warms my heart. Tomorrow I will be shaving with the N1, I can't seem to get off the injector train......... Have a great day folks. :smile :

 

Hi Friends,

i´ve enjoyed a great shave moments ago.


Cold River Soap Works Fall // PAV Brushworks // Edwin Jagger DE89 // Gillette Bleue Extra // Faena Sandalwood & Myrthe ASB

Great!!! The soap lathered up good as ever and created a nice scent. The razor in combination with this blade gave me a gentle and smooth shave in 3-passes with touch-ups. The Highlight has been the Afterhsave Balm from Faena. Very soothing and the smell is absolutely fantastic. Love it deeply!!!

Have a great time, enjoy your shaves and take care.

Greetings
Thorsten​

A fantastic shave this morning. This brush has the softest face feel while still having some backbone. It pairs perfectly with MdC giving a gentle face massage while producing a mountain of lather. Sticking with a normal 3 pass shave followed by minimal touch ups ended in a near BBS. A splash of F&C Capri provided a great finish to the shave. I hope everyone has a great Sunday.

I has an Exquisite Dolphin Smooth all Over BBS Result with My Schick D Type this Morning..The D Type has to be One of the Smoothest Injectors ever made..That said these Dutch NOS Blades are a Match made in Heaven in this Injector..With a Chick Blade..Well..Too Bad & how Sad cause its Only 1/2 the Shaver..

I Often Wonder Why I Bother to Shave with any other Schick Injector other than my D & F Types cause they are Both the Dogs Danglies..

Good idea for a Sunday aftershave.

I agree. I really enjoy using both the Capri and Shambala. It's hard to pick between the two.

 

Great set up. I love the look of that brush

 

Nice brush! Scott goes great work.
