Monday's ShaveCold Water Rinse Amalfi Basil Lemon Jayaruh #340 Badger Dad's Schick E3 Personna Injector CWR Lucky Tiger
Today's shave is in honor of my Dad who would have turned 105 on this, his birthday. I will be using his E3 this week. He made the wooden handle for it.
My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Amalfi Basil Lemon Shaving Soap face lathered well with Jayaruh #340 Badger brush. I did two passes with Dad's Schick E3 razor with a Personna Injector blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Lucky Tiger AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
The Amalfi Basil Lemon soap is from Vintage Life on TOST.
Ingredients: Tallow rendered from beef renet, coconut oil, castor oil, shea butter, vitamine E oil, Holy basil and lemon essential oils.

Green Proraso shave. I also got some AS filled in a vaporiser from my 400ml bottle, and it feels so good to use a lot of it. Last week I went to a barber to let him do the contours of my extended goatee, he splashed on a handful of the same after he finished.

A great celebration to the 'Shovelhead'That's cool. I didn't know that April 1 was the 1924's patent anniversary. However, since it is also my Dad's birthday, I would have gone with his Schick E3 anyhow. Beautiful picture, Electrif.

SHAVE OF THE WEEK....
Schick E3 razor Personna blade FS Silver Tip brush Arko SS Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe Barbasol Brisk A/S w/added menthol
Going to use the same items all week as I just don't feel like changing every day just for the heck of it. Might change the A/S but that would be all. This combo gave me a right dandy shave this morning so there ya go. Now go enjoy your day folks.

My Menthol Monday -- April 1 My first shave with a GEM 1912 and the Poraso white. It was a really excellent 2 pass shave with a brand new GEM SS PTFE blade and then I got stupid and decided that things were going so well that I should mess them up by doing a 3rd pass of ATG all over (including lower throat, which REALLY doesn't like it). I got a BBS -- and a lovely case of irritation by my Adam's apple . Luckily Krampert's Frostbite helped calm things down. Tomorrow I'll be smarter -- I say that every day.

Mon1st April Jayaruh No67 Cyril Salter Solid Soap ER 1924 / Windrose Handle Gem S/S [ 3 ] Massimo Dutti A/S Lotion I have for time now been using this 1924 with longer handles than the original. I think I will settle for the one used today, as it has a good feel in the hand when Shaving. In fact it was a very enjoyable Shave as the Razor is very manoeuvrable, and the finished Shave was spot on.
