Friday's OC Shave


Proraso Pre Shave
Colgate Mug Shaving Soap
Jayaruh #229
Gillette NEW SC
Gillette Silver Blue
CWR
Thayer's Lemon WH
Pinaud Clubman

I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Colgate Mug Shaving Soap face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #229 synthetic brush. I did two passes with the Gillette NEW SC razor and Gillette Silver Blue blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Pinaud Clubman AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

OCtober!!!

October 26

Razor - Gem Micromatic Open Comb
Blade - (1)
Soap - Tabac
Brush - Jayaruh #54
Post - Alum

Six more shaves in OCtober so I decided to give the MMOC another run. As the newest razor in my den it performed very well earlier this month. I had a fresh PTFE Gem blade in my stash still so why not? Tabac for the soap and I'll use my Jayaruh and LE brushes for the next three shaves.

I love the audible this blade produces when it's on angle. Easy to stay on angle when all you have to do is listen. And with the lather the Jayaruh #54 and Tabac provided it was as smooth as silk even though it was noisy. Two passes and touch ups and it's a very nice DFS. Alum was just a hint on the hot side but not bad at all. I think I probably added a touch too much pressure to the razor which led to that but it didn't produce any blood so it's all good. All in all another great shave out of the MMOC.
