Menthol Monday's ShaveCold Water Rinse TSD Cool Lime The Brush B-3 by Tom ( twhite) Starling SE Gem Blue Star SE CWR Osage Rub My prep was just a cold water rinse. The TSD Cool Lime Shaving Soap face lathered well with The Brush B-3 by Tom brush. I did two passes with the Starling SE razor with a Gem Blue Star 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...

Mon 11th March Stirling Syn 26mm Stirling Baker Street ATT SE1 & Windrose handle Feather Pro [ 1 ] Tuff Green A/S Lotion Strayed with my Shave yesterday but now back on the right Path. For some time I have been favouring the use of Schick Proline Blades in my Razors, so thought a change was needed. I chose to use a Feather Pro which was the blade I used prior to the Schick. I was careful at the Start of Shave, to slow down my strokes until I knew I had got the feel of the Razor/Blade combo. Thereafter the Shave was very smooth and comfortable , with no mishaps and a finish verging on a face stroker. I shall make more use of the Blades that I have, especially in Razors that are due a blade change.

That razor looks pristine. Thanks! It's very clean and I have the case. It was a gift from a friend. What a great gift. I received a similar model and used a despined GEM blade. Very impressed.

Tomorrow gonna try my first Auto Strop. The Feather FH10 blade fits perfectly. A little Pre de Prevence soap and I'm all set Looking forward to hearing about this one. A very nice comfortable shave with my Valet VC1. Loading the Feather FH10 blade was a breeze, no modification needed. I quickly found this is a fairly mild razor. I also learned that you have to put the blade nearly flat on your skin, not unlike many GEM models. I got my best performance with the gears riding along on my face. 2 1/2 passes (2 with touch-ups?) to get a nice near-BBS result. Funny, I've always been sort of afraid of the AutoStrops, I think because of their looks. How wrong can a guy be? This one's a keeper.
