Sunday Shave.

Sunday 12th February


New Forest Tubby 1 - MWF - Tedalus Essence/Proline-P #1 - Guerlain Habit Rouge

I feel well and truly pampered

 

Sunday Schick shave, February 12th 2023.

Razor : Schick adjustable injector Model 3(M3)- Mfg 1954-57, all range aggression, well designed and well built even from a lot of plastic IMO. The nice thing with this adjustable it has fine settings for skin conditions as they change from the 4 seasons where I live + as my beard ages it also seems a little tougher possibly.
Blade : Personna SS PTFE injector(3) very sharp, great longevity, smooths out nicely + predictable IMO.
Soap : Razorock Don Marco, citrus scent of about 5/10 with excellent lather qualities.
Brush : Yaqi "Mysterious space" 24mm Silvertip badger, excellent lather generator, heavenly pillow like soft tips, gentle splay scrubber + excellent painter.
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(3.5) + ATG(3.5) + pickups(5 setting).
Post shave : Italian barber Amici splash with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results :CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers= Excellent shave with my Schick adjustable injector M3 with a Personna coated blade.


Have some great shaves!

Semogue SOC Boar - MWF - Feather AC SR/Feather Pro Super #8 - Acqua Di Parma Colonia

 

I took my time this morning. Aside from a home project to mess with, nothing pressing.
I got a new razor yesterday, a Vikings Blade Emperor Meiji and got it out and going this morning.
First impressions are:
Wow. It's heavy. Built like a '58 Buick. Blade alignment is perfect and the adjustment dial is smooth.
Not a great shave, however. With a new Astra SP encased in its jaws, it was really smooth on my face but a little rough on the neck. Probably a technique issue. I did fiddle with the adjustment, everywhere from 3.5 to Max. I'll get it right eventually. It's always fun to play with a new tool.

Sunday Schick shave, March 5th 2023

Razor : Schick Golden 500 injector model with the hydro- magic feature- Mfg1957-64, mild range, very attractive injector & possibly uni-sex with the total length of 5 3/8 inches.

Brush : Yaqi "mountain lake" 24mm 2band badger, excellent lather generator, pillow like soft tips, very nice splay scrubber + great lather painter. Handle feels great in the hand and excellent brush in a lot aspects that make a great brush IMO.
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.
