Máquina: Ever-Ready Shovel head Lamina: GEM SS PTFE Sabão/Creme: DeLuxe Soul Man Pincel: Kent Infinity Espuma: na taça Pós: Espuma de conforto + ASL Aqua Velva Ice Blue  What a lovelly shave. With the shovel head it's all instinctive . Super close shave with no angle problems. It's like you've been using it since ever. I really must try again the Gem Push.button and give it another chance so I can "decode" it. And finishing with AV, what more I ask?  |

 Menthol Monday's ShaveProraso Pre Shave TSD Cool Lime Jayaruh #271 Rolls CWR Thayer's Lemon WH Florida Water I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The TSD Cool Lime Shaving Soap face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #271 synthetic brush. I did two passes with the Rolls Razor 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. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed... |

I wasn't going to make another video, but since I am going to be shaving with my Rolls razor this week, I thought I'd give it one more shot. It was a good shave. I was really surprised.

Monday shave with a touch of menthol. This Schick L came in a case that said it was from one of the Air Lines. Dunno if that is true but I can say the thing shaves great!! Easy DFS with a new Personna blade. The Musgo Real and Semogue 1305 were great together. I am an Aqua Velva Man!!!  |

Mon 26th March Stirling Syn. 26mm Stirling Baker Street Schick Type N3 Schick S/S Twin [ 23- Japan] Tuff Green A/S Lotion Have this morning packed up "Igor" , so hopefully he will be soon with Arthur @ Electrif in the North of England. As a change I went for an Injector Shave where I am rather intrigued to see how the longevity of a Twin Blade is progressing. Prior to the use of a Twin Blade in the N3, I had always thought that reports of long blade life were made by folk with light growth. However, today with this Razor/ Blade combo I have just completed my 23rd Shave and not only was it a good close all areas Shave but the blade is still good to go.Will check my stock, so if need be purchase a few more, they may be pricey but I do not spend loads on AS/EDT and they deliver great Shaves.  |

 Tabac Tuesday's ShaveProraso Pre Shave Tabac Jayaruh #271 Rolls CWR Thayer's Lemon WH Florida Water I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Tabac Shaving Soap face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #271 synthetic brush. I did two passes with the Rolls Razor 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. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed... So far, so good. These first two shaves have been excellent. I imagine that my experience with unmentionables(Fuzzy was here) is part of the success with the Rolls. It delivers a very smooth and comfortable shave. After the clean up, I put the blade back in the stropper and gave it 30 cycles. It is ready for tomorrow. |

Tuesday 27th March Yaqi 26mm Tux Wickham 1912 - Classic 24 Igor by Tom White GEM Stainless Coated #1 Alum Wash Fahrenheit A/S Lacura Moisturiser Milton Lloyd ‘The Man Cobalt’ EDT  Mike mpf9ret did recommend to start with a fresh blade so I did. I used the mid setting and got a very comfortable and close result, in fact squeaky close. I found the hump didn't aid the shave, but also didn't get in the way. Finding the sweet spot was really easy. It's very manoeuvrable and I never felt at any risk of damage. Very impressed by this razor Tom twhite has produced and really looking forward to future shaves. |

First Shave in 8 days  I have been incredibly busy at work the past 3 months. No end in sight. Anyhow I have been totally unmotivated after work. So I had to shave today. I used my trusty ER1909 and full Tabac setup. This razor with a new Treet Blade had no problem mowing down 8 days worth. 3 pass DFS. As for the vise in the background. I picked that up 2 weeks ago at the swap meet. It was all rusty but the jaws were in good shape, along with the lead screw. So I have been tinkering with it. I wire wheeled the entire thing after removing the grunge. I painted it right after work today. I used Rustolium Hammered Black. The vise is an old Pexto 1-3/4”. I have a few more vises that need a reverb. |

Tue 27th March RazoRock Plissoft 24mm Speick Active ATT SE1 +Windrose handle Schick Proline [ 14 ] Pitralon Original A/S Lotion Quite a change from the N3 of yesterday, a rather hefty ATT SE1 with a Windrose Handle. I really like this Razor with the non stock handle , as I am able to use the weight to do the work. It is a matter of confidence but once in position the razor only needs guidance and it shears away the whiskers. It can despite the weight be used with a light touch to clear away any stubborn areas of growth. A most satisfying Shave requiring more technique and care than with an Injector, but nice to be rewarded with a good close all round finish.  |

Hope the wife is getting better....Wishing you both the best. |
