I'm going to be using my new G5 razor this week. Menthol Monday's ShaveCold Water Wash Stirling Eskimo Tuxedo Jayaruh #39 Eversharp Schick G5 Schick CWR Osage Rub My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Stirling Eskimo Tuxedo Shaving Soap face lathered well with the Jayaruh #39 brush. I did two passes with the Eversharp Schick G5 Safety Razor with a Schick blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. I must add that the Eskimo Tuxedo was very cold. It made me tear. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Osage Rub. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Gem chrome handle G-bar razor Personna Gem PTFE blade (1) Razorock blue fougere soap and AS Maggards synthetic brush The Chrome handle G-bar is extremely smooth and well balanced in weight. The protruding hook / ledge at the end of the handle is very useful for a grip especially for upward neck strokes. It's as smooth and efficient as the bullet tip. 48 hours of stubble vanished in a two pass BBS. I opened a new alum block and it give zero feedback. I had to check if it is really an Alum block and went over the face again for long. Haven't got such zero feedback ever from the alum block for any razor !!

Gotta love a 2 pass BBS, and no feedback from the alum! Also, what kind of watch is that?

Gem Clogpruf Gem SS ER Badger/Boar Stirling Grapefruit Nice shave but one of those mornings when I seem to drop things. Dropped the brush and then the razor, no damage except had trouble getting the blade out the razor after, must have bent one of the stops in. Have a great day, be careful.

Man, I wish I could find that Barbasol after shave. I have the Brisk, but the blue seems to be unattainable. Good looking shave!

Belated Monday Shave Report ! Omega 11137 boar Lea classic soap Schick Type O "Clone" Schick Twin-Japan [ 10 ] Lea Classic A/S Lotion Quite glad I got hold of one of these Razors whilst still available. Despite being quite mild they are very forgiving, and with a Twin Blade I can easily get a nice close all round finish, with no after effects.

Tue 20th Nov. Jayaruh No 67-Syn-26mm P & B Pall Mall Claymore V1 /Windrose Handle Schick Proline [ 5 ] Floid Vigoroso A/S Lotion I consistently get smooth and comfortable Shaves with the Claymore, and the quality of finish is always pretty good. Today I used my " Adopted " Jayaruh Brush, which has very soft tips, but had no problems getting loaded with the soap and it was delightfully good when working up the lather on the face. Thanks again Jim , sent 14th Nov received 19th Nov
