February 26A very nice 2 pass + touch-up shave from the trusty Feather Weight -- very impressed with this razor. Not particularly special looking, but definitely holds it's own against it's prettier competitors when it comes to the shaves!

Cold Water Wash Williams Mug Shaving Soap Jayaruh #321 Schick M-2 Adjustable Personna CWR Barbasol Brisk AS My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Williams Mug Shave Soap face lathered well with the Jayaruh #321 brush. I did the first pass with the Schick M-2 Adjustable razor with a Personna blade. Then I changed over to the Gem 1912 for the second pass. Today is patent day for the 1912. I ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Barbasol Brisk AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Gem Heavy Flat Top with Gem SS blade, Williams Mug Soap, Jayruh 304 big boar, Florida Water, nice. The Heavy Flat Top deserves more love, although mild, but very efficient.

Moon Soaps | Old School Ever-Ready 100T | Elite Razor Manchurian The New Improved Schick Injector Razor | Personna 74 Chatillon Lux | Unconditional Surrender In light of my recent positive experience with Moon Soaps' Amaretto shaving cream, I decided to give their flagship a go. "Old School" is marketed as having a "huge amount of tallow, like soap used to be." Perhaps there's a modicum of hyperbole in that statement, but I can neither affirm or disprove this has any more tallow than your average artisan tallow shaving soap. Old School's consistency is on the firmer end of the croap spectrum and it loads very easily with a well saturated---but not dripping---knot. Compared to the Amaretto cream, this is the better performer. A dense, slick lather is quickly and intuitively forthcoming yielding an oil-rich iridescent sheen. First-pass slickness is approaching high-end status, while residual slickness is competitive with the upper echelon. I was able to effortlessly employ long sweeping passes on my dome that I usually reserve for my top 5 or 6. Post-shave is easily in the crowded top ten, but it can't quite push anyone out of top 3. It's very close, however. The scent off the tub is light and somewhat singular in nature with a faintly sweetened leather. However, once lathered, the scent strength is boosted to a 3 out of 5, and opens with a new leather and cured tobacco duet that's later accompanied and expanded by warm woody notes and gentle spicy vanilla. This well-blended fragrance remains clean throughout, and the sweetness is offered up naturally by way of the vanilla and tobacco. I found Old School to remind me of several non-descript "masculine" fragrances without approximating any of them. There's nothing audacious with respect to the array of notes in Old School, but the fragrance, while safe and even formulaic is quite pleasant and a good choice for a flagship offering. Once again, the label art exhibits keen knowledge of graphic design and the execution is flawless. If I have anything negative to say about Old School's packaging it would be the glaring absence of a side label. I'm not certain if this is intentional or an oversight as Amaretto did have side labeling which rounds out the packaging nicely. Old School cements my confidence in Moon Soaps as an artisan in this crowded market. They back up their attractive packaging with a very respectable product that steps out of work horse territory and into the luxury realm.

Razor: Above the Tie SE2 Blade: Kai Captain Original Brush Handle: 30DC LE Knot: APShaveCo Cashmere Soap: Nuavia Verde Aftershave: Chatillon Lux La Forêt de Liguest Cologne: Chatillon Lux La Forêt de Liguest EDT Another nice shave tonight. I love this Nuavia soap, great scent and fantastic performance. The Chatillon Lux products are top shelf. While I enjoyed the shave I think I might shelve the ATT SE2 in favor of the General. I get better shaves from the General with less irritation. I'm not putting the SE2 in the sell pile yet, I'll come back to it at a later time. Have a great day folks!

February 28th
Sorry for the lack of a photo -- technical difficulties (as Fuzzy would say) -- but I had a very nice 3-pass shave with the Gem Feather Weight, GEM SS PTFE (6), RazoRock 24mm Plissoft, Haslinger's Schafmilch and Krampert's Finest Acadian Spice Bay Rum.
Today was my 4th daily shave in a row....why is that significant? Because it's been well over a decade since I've shaved that many days in a row. It won't be another 10+ years though, I've got a job that requires a daily shave, so I'll be joining the daily shaving brigade for a while.

Thur 28th Feb. RazoRock Syn. 24mm P & B Pall Mall PAL Injecto Matic Schick Proline [ 1 ] Floid Vigoroso A/S Lotion I just could not resist using this Razor which arrived yesterday, rather pleased that the Razor showed little signs of use, and the case was in good condition too. For those that in the past have found the Injecto Matic to be a harsh shaver, I recommend use of the Proline blade. Todays Shave was smooth and comfortable , and it was easy to get a close all round finish with causing any problems during or post Shave.
