A bit unusual shave today, which left me pleasantly surprised with the results...

Schick J2 w/Proline B
Prince shaving cream by Lush (brushless)
Brut Classic AS

Have a great day, my friends.

(cannot rotate the image, don't know why......)

[cannonshaves]

Claymore, Cologne Russe, JR Boar

First go with the Claymore, have a close shave using a Feather Pro. Head design similar to the general, but maybe a little more mild, but way heavier than the general

Tabac Tuesday's Shave

Proraso Pre Shave
Tabac
JR#257 Synthetic
Micromatic Clog Pruf
Personna Gem CS
Personna Pal CS
CWR
Thayer's Lemon WH
Florida Water

Today is day two of the blade test. Up for the first pass will be the Pal CS blade followed by the GEM CS blade for the second pass.

I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Ingram Shaving Cream face-lathered well with the JR #257 Synthetic brush. I did two passes with the Micromatic Clog Pruf Razor using a Personna Gem and Pal CS SE blades and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Florida Water AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Both blades performed very well today. I got a very close shave with no issues. Audible feedback was there with both blades.

I believe that is a Perle. I have one just like that

Greetings

Although mine is not badged up at all I have personally seen them stamped up as Le Grelot ,and L'Essor, and I do know they were sold under several other names, I have tried to find out who made them but drawn a blank. What I have found out is that the stropper handles with most of them are stamped Unis France but I am unable to find out who they were, perhaps they were the company that made all of these razors. It seems to me that probably subject to a large minimum order they would stamp any name on them you wanted! I any event they are really nice shavers and built like a tank.

Regards
Dick.

Thanks for all of the info on the razor. Very interesting that it was made under many names. It is a nice razor.

I thought it would be one of Jim's hehehe But I wasn't sure. I'm the lucky tutor of two jayaruh™ brushes and couldn't agree more. Excellent craftsmanship.

My last shave in my first one-month challenge.

Standard setup was:

1. Soap: PB Borealis (wonderfull scent and even better soap)
2. Brush: RR Plissoft 24mm
3. Razor: ATT SE1
4. Blade: KAI Protouch MG

AS was allways different. This time Bello bay run

You just can’t seem to have only one JR BRUSH. I have 7 at the moment. Funny thing is I never had a plan to be a brush collector. Jim cured me of that. I am always on the lookout for another.

Tuesday Night Shave.

Razor: ER 1909
Blade: Gem CS (3)
Brush: Rubberset 3
Soap: WSP Lavenderwood
AS: Florida Water

Epic simply Epic shave tonight. It has been months since I have used this soap. I decided to bust it out as I thought it would pair well with the Florida Water.

My ER always delivers a fantastic shave. This combo was HEAVEN. I just found the FW today. I have never tried it. Boy was I missing out.

Anyways, this will be a combo I will for sure use in the future.
