This week I will be taking out my new Damaskeene OC. Here is Monday's lineup. Menthol Monday's Shave
Proraso Pre Shave TSD Cool Lime Shaving Soap Jayaruh #288 Synthetic GEM Damaskeene OC CVS CS SE CWR Thayer's Peach WH English Leather AS I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The TSD Cool Lime Shaving Soap face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #288 Synthetic brush. I did two passes with the Gem Damaskeene OC Razor with a CVS Carbon Steel SE blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Peach WH and then English Leather AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Pre: Cold water face wash Brush: Vie-Long 14846 Badger/Horse Soap: T&H Sandalwood Razor: ER 1924 Blade: Gem SS Post: Cold water rinse, Barts Balm Rosemary and Sandalwood ASB I normally use a milder razor for the first use of a Gem stainless blade but the long Windrose handle helped calm it down whilst keeping the efficiency of the 1924. A very nice start to the week. Happy Shaving one and all.

Been using DE unmentionables (Fuzzy was here) for a bit - and last few shaves were not great. So I have gone back to my Favorite SAFETY RAZOR (or any razor) of all - the EVER-READY 1914 - AKA The mini Lather Catcher - Paired with a CARBON PAL SUPER - I get the BEST shaves.... Added bonus is the Sound of whiskers getting mowed down! Here are my Saturday and Sunday NIGHT shaves - the 1914 works so well for me that after a 8pm shave - I wake up at 5:30 AM and I almost still bbs.. saturday Night - June 2nd sunday Night - June 3rd - this soap is very pricey and the EDP is so expensive that i could only afford the travel size - but this is the ULTIMATE ROSE Scent and Shave!! bruther - You cannot beat this scent - and also the label is pure class! even the soap jar is MADE out of GLASS! yes its that classy - if your a fan of ROSE scented shaves - than this is the holy grail! also the tallow formula was amazing - mind blowing post shave - and the 1914 just ROARED as it mowed down whiskers - not a drop of blood / zero irritation - this slick tallow soap gave it a sleek runway.

Holy moly Batman. Great looking shaves to start the week. jamie I am going to fix your post...that's one 😎😀. Those baton handle GEMs are awesome! I used a Contour II tonight on a two and half day beard. The treet blade did a great job!! Added a bit of menthol to Monday with the Super Max cream and Daylogic Brisk AS. Great all the way around!!

Mon 4th June Omega 11137 MWF Schick N3 Schick Twin-Japan [ 28 ] Alum Rub/Rinse off Puig Quorum A/S lotion After a great Shave with a Type F, decided to try the N3 with an aging blade. The Twin blade works very well with the N3, but today it reached the end of the road for me. Though no bloodshed or irritation caused, the quality of the finished Shave was v.poor. I reckon that for me in the future I will limit my use of these blade to 20 uses.

Tabac Tuesday's Shave
Proraso Pre Shave Tabac Jayaruh #288 Gem Damaskeene OC CVS Carbon Steel SE CWR Thayer's Peach WH Tabac AS I started off with Proraso Pre Shave.

Awesome shave @wchnu - I love the store brand skin brace - it seems more "powdery" for my nose! i got the CVS and market basket versions and there the same for me - also that super max is a great cream bruther ! i have the lemon lime, and the tea tree as well as menthol - Thanks for fixing my blasphemous comment - the "unmentionable" seems to work for me most of the time, but some times the Thin blade can dig in to my skin.............is it me getting old? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
