Wednesday 12th June Cold Water Shave Pears Glycerine Soap Williams Mug Shaving Soap Omega 10051 Boar Brush Ever-Ready HFT (E-Bar) with a Gem SS PTFE Blade Witch Hazel Palmer's Fragrance Free Moisturiser Williams Aqua Velva AS I have a few days off (Working the weekend) but it was an early start and so far it has been a very good day. 1) The Motor bike passed it's MOT test 2) I found a pharmacy with UK Ingram Cream and cleared their stock. 3) Popped into the Antique Shop beside the Pharmacy and found today's razor. An Ever-Ready HFT in immaculate condition and it cost me only £4. Today's shave was just perfect. 3 mild but incredibly efficient passes for a BBS finish:)

Wednesday 12th June Alpha ‘Outlaw’ - The Original Safety Two LE 'Morning TOST' - Schick G1 - Schick Proline B #2 - Alum - Irisch Moos A/S - Dove Nourishing Cream I'm liking the scent on this soap. It reminds me of my mother's homemade ginger marmalade she made way back in the 60's/70's. Plus this razor and blade combo consistently gives me exceptionally smooth, easy shaves.

Wed 12th June The Grosvenor- mixed Williams Mug soap ES Claymore V1 / Bulldog 11 Schick Proline [ 4 ] Williams Aqua Velva A/S Lotion I have found the Ramekin dish to be great for holding the Williams, and the brush has no problems creating a super lather. Though rather heavy the Claymore is very agile, and I have no problems get a good quality Shave every time.

Tabac Thursday's ShaveCold Water Rinse Tabac Shave Soap Jayaruh #273 Synthetic AutoStrop A1 Valet AutoStrop CWR Tabac My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Tabac Shave Soap face lathered well with the Jayaruh #273 Synthetic brush. I did two passes with the AutoStrop A1 razor with a Valet AutoStrop blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Tabac AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Gem Junior razor w/baton handle Gem Stainless blade RazoRock Plissoft brush More for You Shave Soap Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe Daxton A/S
This SE shave went so much better than the last one and I'm so glad. The "More for You" Shave Soap is some nice stuff, I'm liking it more and more with each use. Gives me a great protective lather and a fine shave. Some might not like the scent but I find it to be no problem. All the other parts seemed to like each other and, again, a fine shave was had. Now go enjoy your day folks.

Thursday 13th June Pears Glycerine Soap Blue's Goat's Milk Shaving Soap Zenith Synthetic Brush Gem HFT (G Bar) with a Gem SS PTFE Blade (#2) Witch Hazel Heno de Pravia Moisturiser Hai Karate AS It was the E Bar yesterday....so today it had to be the G Bar. It may be just my imagination but the G Bar seemed slightly milder/smoother. Perhaps that was because the blade had been broken in?.......anyway....the result was the same. The Blue's Soap is good but prices have increased since my initial purchase so I don't think I will reorder. It costs as much if not more as a MWF refill so it is a no brainer 3 passes for a perfect result

Definitely still more irritating than an unmentionable shave. I need to figure out what I'm doing wrong. Finish product was good though.

Gem Junior with Gem SS blade, Williams Mug soap, Simpson Chubby 3 Super Badger, Brute AS---first time brush has been used in at least two years! It's a very nice brush and just my size, I still prefer boar brushes!! My cheap brother-in-law has already offered me $50 for it, I could hardly keep a straight face!! I have given him more gear than he will ever use, yet he thinks I need to share more, sorry.

Early this morning had a very fast shower and shave. I used the Barbasol Menthol Pacific Rush and my Stoll/Kampfe-Star 1914. For my Pat'd Fuzzylicious W-H pass I used Clubmans Musk instead of W-H..It work just as good as W-H!! But smells great ! Results...2 quick passes: 1 WTG & 1 ATG. W-H pass: Heres the interesting part. This started out as normal, but I got called away for a minute. Upon returning my face had dried somewhat, but I continued and the razor began to sing...YES, just like my ER Lather Catcher, if anything, even louder. My wife heard it in the next room. Sounds like playing a saw with a violin bow. It was beautiful! I love it, when they sing..now this Stoll has even popped up another notch in my admiration🙃😃 After fantastic shave, I finished with Guerlain Jicky EdP spritzes, dressed and split! HAVE A GREAT DAY EVERYBODY!!
