    Shave of the Week Starting 7 November 2022

    Schick Injector razor (E3 I think)
    Personna blade
    AP Shave Synthetic brush
    Lea Shave Stick
    Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
    Assorted A/S

    Long long time since I use a lot of these items and shame on me. The Lea stick produced an easy abundant lather and the Schick /Personna just wiped it right off in a comfortable/smooth/effective way. My face is smooth and happy. Now go enjoy your day folks.

    Razor : Gem junior 1912 with baton handle- Mfg 1943 variant, excellent tame mid range, the handle is very ergonomic in the hand for comfort and creates its own stand. Built to last and very enjoyable shave this morning.
    Blade : Gem Personna SS PTFE(9) very sharp, excellent longevity, smooths out nicely, predictable + safest blade to handle.
    Soap : Razorock American barber, excellent barber shop scent 6-7strength + excellent lather qualities.
    Brush : Yaqi "Red Zebra" 26mm snow leopard knot, excellent lather generator, luxury heavenly cloud like soft tips, nice gentle splay scrubber + excellent brush. Favorite synthetic brush and a very enjoyable lathering face feel for myself. Mixes all soaps no problem!
    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 American barber with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
    Results :CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers=[​IMG] Excellent shave with my Gem Jr 1912 with a Gem coated blade.

    It has come to my attention(translation-I suddenly thought of this)that I should update my name silliness on here for newcomers):

    Stoylin(Stirling Soaps)
    Doz Ezlovan(Rod Lovan, Owner of Stirling Soaps)
    long lung breath(when I say something goofy and make just that-a long lung breath, which reads"HAAAH").


    in this crazy world, we can use some positive-minded silliness.

    Gary, I knew you'd be the first "liker"....recall I had to explain to you about "long lung breath" and you appreciated the explanation(or is that word now "explanate"?).

    I didn’t take a pic of the weekend shave- same software, different hardware.
    Only a shave or two left on this soap now. Everything worked as it should…the New Deluxe isn’t as smooth as some of its NEW cousins, but the results are excellent.
    Have a great day all!

    Monday Shave

    Lather: Sudsy Soapery Unscented Non-tallow soap
    Brush: Dubl Duck
    Razor: Henson AL13 mild
    Blade: Wizamet Super Iridium (5)
    Post: witch hazel and Sudsy Soapery Unscented Aftershave Balm

    Great easy lather again from the Sudsy Soapery soap, but I pushed the Wizamet blade one day too many, with irritation all over my face. I won't so that again, but I had 4 excellent, comfortable shaves from that blade.
