I missed shaving on Sunday, so I am doing Sunday's shave Monday. Monday's ShaveProraso Pre Shave CTAPT Shaving Cream Jayaruh #288 Gem 1907 Lather Catcher Sha-Ve-Zee SE CWR Thayer's Peach WH English Leather I originally scheduled this shave for yesterday, but I missed for being in the hospital, so I just did not shave yesterday. I had wanted to try out the vintage Sha-Ve-Zee blades I recently got. I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The CTAPT Shaving Cream face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #288 Synthetic brush. I did two passes with the Gem 1907 Lather Catcher Razor with a Sha-Ve-Zee 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...

Mon 11th June Omega 11126 OSP Bay Rum Ever Ready HFT Gem S/S [ 1 ] Pitralon Polar A/S Lotion I do not normally use the HFT with a fresh blade, preferring to use a Streamline at the start of an ER/Gem rotation. I do find it to be mild for my beard growth, but today I did enjoy the the Shave and attained a more than passable close finish. Have always said this would be a great Daily Shaver for those with light growth.

Tabac Tuesday's ShaveProraso Pre Shave Tabac Jayaruh #291 Gem Featherweight CVS Carbon Steel SE CWR Thayer's Peach WH Tabac AS I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Tabac Shaving Soap face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #291 Synthetic brush. I did two passes with the Gem Featherweight 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 Tabac AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed... I had been reading reviews of the featherweight, and many were saying how mild they were and they could not get a good shave with them. Well, I don't think most of them know how to shave with GEMs. I had no problem with my FW. I just put the head flat against my face and went to town on my beard. I got a great shave. Now, I can continue through Thursday with it. It is a looker, and it is also a great shaver.
