Friday afternoon shave. Ended up a short day at work and a weekend off. The shave with the Auto Strop A1 was the perfect way to start it. The video is posted in the shave video section. i was blown away with this razor. Stirling Spice is a very nice soap!

Great! It works up lather well and the funk is just about gone. I did soak it in bay rum and warm water and washed it a couple of times though...

Saturday 16th June Yaqi 26mm Tux Speick Men grated stick Ever Ready 1912 Ever Ready Corrux stropping blade Alum Lacoste Original A/S Dove Instant Hydration Cream I used the stropping device from one of my 1914s to strop a NOS ER Corrux blade. It's the first time I've used a stropping blade, and it certainly won't be the last, as it proved to be a far smoother shave than the standard GEM blade. Speick is another soap I should use more often.

Brush: Vie-Long, horse/badger Soap: La Toja Razor: Gem MM Bullet Tip Blade: Gem SS Post: APR, Mycroft Just add water and shave. I thought I should get my La Toja stick out after seeing the posts here. It is certainly my favourite shaving stick but the only other I have tried is Arko so there is not much competition.

Sat 16th June RazoRock Syn. 24mm L`Occitane Cade Cream Gem OCMM Schick Proline [ 2 ] Alum Rub/Rinse off Massimo Dutti A/S Lotion My second use of this AC blade in the OCMM. A very smooth Shave when compared with its performance with a standard blade, had no problems attaining an ultra close all round finish.

SE Sunday's ShaveProraso Pre Shave Arko Extra Performance Jayaruh #291 Gem 1907 Lather Catcher Original Gem Cutlery SE CWR Thayer's Peach WH Lucky Tiger I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Arko Extra Performance Shaving Cream face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #291 Synthetic brush. I did two passes with the Gem 1907 Lather Catcher Razor with an Original Gem Cutlery 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 Lucky Tiger AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Father's Day shave Won this Shick in a raffle across the street. The after shave balm was a gift from my daughter today and the brush was my Fathers , which I restored and made my own knot for it . Hope everyone is having a great day !

Shave six on the PTFE blade. Did you ever use the old formula of that cream? I think the one before the Maca root was much better. Father's Day shave Won this Shick in a raffle across the street. The after shave balm was a gift from my daughter today and the brush was my Fathers , which I restored and made my own knot for it . Hope everyone is having a great day ! Outstanding. That Grip looks nice! Looks like your set up.

Great shave today from the F. I really like the Boots soap and Freshwood AS. The big ole Omega knot in the JR 176 likes it aswell. I popped in a new personna blade. Just outstanding all around.
