Thursday shave
1912 ER Gem Blue Star Vintage Ever Ready 104 ( original boar knot first use) Old Spice Soap (In old spice mug) Old Spice AS Old Spice Cologne
Great shave. The brush has never been used so had the funk to it still. Could not even smell the Old Spice Soap. I did however get a great lather and shave from it. Very enjoyable use of the vintage soap and brush.

Friday morning:
Vitos SIS (face lathered as always) Semogue 1438 boar GEM '12 Jr GEM SS ptfe (13) Bay Rum
First, I missed my hot towel face prep, but with the warmer weather the wood stove doesn't have the kettle simmering on the back. Bummer! But that means spring is on the way.
The blade continues to work, so I'm quite adamant that I'm not changing it until it tells me to. At this rate of attrition I have many more years of blades than I initially thought.
Yet another fantastic shave.

Tuesday morning:
Hot towel face prep Vitos SIS w/Bay Rum scent added Simpson Special best badger GEM 1912 Jr GEM SS ptfe blade (14 and canned) Bay Rum
I felt the blade had turned the corner, so I canned it after the shave, but 14 shaves isn't too shabby.
Before I applied my handcrafted BR the shave was a DFS, afterward it could be called a BBS. It was still a DFS to me since the moisturizer in the BR only hides stubble left slightly long.
