I was away last week because I was doing some time with an unmentionable open comb razor. This week I will be spending time with my favorite OC razor, my Gem Damaskeene OC. Menthol Monday's ShaveCold Water Wash Proraso Green Jayaruh #305 Gem Damaskeene OC GEM Blue Star CS SE CWR Osage Rub My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Proraso Green Shaving Soap face lathered well with the Jayaruh #305 brush. I did two passes with the Gem Damaskeene OC Safety Razor with a GEM Blue Star CS SE blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Osage Rub. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed... The Damaskeene OC Safety Razor may be the most perfect safety razor ever created.

Monday 8th October Yaqi Sagrada Familia - Wickham Super Smooth V2 - Schick/Eversharp G1 - Schick Proline B #1 - Alum - Rose of Bulgaria A/S - Dove Instant Hydration cream Fellow member Mike B aka mpf9ret generously gifted me this gorgeous injector. Thanks Mike. So I coupled it with Wickham's Super Smooth V2 test soap. From the UK soapmaker. Firstly the razor: Worked like a charm, infinitely more efficient than the L1. Plus it looks and handles great. Definitely a keeper. So pleased Mike gave me another chance at injectors. The Super Smooth test soap lathered really easily giving a copious thick lather which was slick and very protective. The culmination of the above gave a lovely result.

Tue 9th Oct RazoRock Syn. 24mm P & B Citra Royale Schick Type I 1 Schick Twin [ 15 ] Alcolado Glacial A/S Splash Thought the compact Type I would be a good backup Razor when on holiday. Very easy to use and a comfortable Shave, the finish not the best but I had not realised that the blade on its 15th use was maybe past its best. Now has a fresh blade and is in hold bag.
