Tuesday June 5th shave... Warm shower Jayaruh #227 brush Turtleship Pine soap GEM Junior razor GEM Micromatic blade (3) Witch hazel, aloe, vetiver skin conditioner Bootleggers Bay Rum aftershave Feeling clean and ready for the day. Not real sure about the blade, or maybe my technique with the junior, really pulls and doesn't seem to slice through my whiskers as easily as the new GEM stainless...still not going to give it up though since I have a bunch (50+) of them from my June haul.

Schick G4 razor Personna 74 blade VeraSoapCo Peppermint SS WD Synthetic brush Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe Pinaud Clubman A/S
While poking around my stash o'stuff yesterday I ran across these blades. Don't know when I got them or where, but there they were so I thought "Let's see how long one can last". So, according to legend, I may be shaving with this razor/blade combo for awhile. Oh, how was the shave? Just delightful; smooth, close and very comfortable and my face is very very happy. Now go enjoy your day folks.

Pre: Cold water face wash Brush: WDC-8, Maseto 24mm 2BF Soap: PAA Solstice Razor: Gem MMCP Blade: Gem SS Post: Cold water rinse, Floid Mentolado Vigoroso ASL More than thirty hours of stubble stood no chance against the Clog Pruf and the combination of Solstice and Floid has left my skin soft and toned. Happy Shaving one and all.

Today I used another razor that was gifted to me by Andrew@linexguile . I ordered some injector blades and when the box arrived there was a J1 inside also to my surprise. The head was a bit loose and a part of the handle had a melted spot so after some Gorilla glue and a bit of sanding .....it stole the show today. The new divot feels like it belongs there. Nice looking J. Not a big fan of them but they shave like a Schick...gotta love that!

Tue 5th June Omega 11126 P & B Spitfire Schick N1 Schick Proline [ 9 ] Pitralon Original A/S Lotion. Another Schick N Shave, this time with the N1 loaded with a single blade.Just like yesterday did not expect a great Shave as the blade was possibly past its best. This proved to be the case as though the Shave was smooth enough and no blood was spilt, the blade was inefficient so the finish was poor. At least I know not to push a Proline past 8 in this Razor.

Williams Wednesday's ShaveProraso Pre Shave Williams Mug Shaving Soap Jayaruh #288 Jayaruh Wooded SE Gem Damaskeene OC CVS Carbon Steel SE CWR Thayer's Peach WH English Leather I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Williams Mug Shaving Soap face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #288 Synthetic brush. I did two passes: first pass with my Jayaruh Wooden SE razor and then finished up 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...

Wednesday June 6th shave Warm shower Satin Tip Brush Reef Point Fugere Santal soap GEM Junior razor GEM stainless blade (10) Witch hazel, aloe, vetiver skin conditioner Dual splash of Pinaud Cluan and Barbasol Pacific rush Clean and smooth shave. Decided after shaving with the GEM Micromatic blade for 3 days and not quite loving it to switch out to the GEM SS and very much a nicer and smoother shave.
