Thur 15th August Cyril Salter/ Maseto ED. 2band P & B Citra Royale Gem Micromatic - OC/Brass Gem S/S [ 1 ] Pitralon Classic A/S Lotion Moved on to the Original Micromatic today, which once mastered is the best of the Trio. Like others in my early days of using it, I was probably too heavy handed and suffered the consequences. Now with no rush and a very light touch, it delivers smooth problem free Shaves, with an ultra close finish.A great finish today not quite as good as those I can get with a "Streamline".

Friday's ShaveCold Water Rinse Arko Shaving Soap Jayaruh #376 Eversharp H2 Hussy Personna Injector CWR Aqua Velva Ice Blue My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Arko Shaving Soap face lathered well with the Jayaruh #376 Brush. I did two passes with the Eversharp H2 Hussy razor with a Personna Injector Blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Aqua Velva Ice Blue AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

This got it done today. Palmira is a Serbian soap. I think it's the Williams of Serbia. The lather has good slickness and a pleasant almond/cherry smell. You've read my mind -- or my browser history. I've found and been thinking of picking up Palmira (the cream version). While ordinaryshaver has been on a "stick kick", I've been chasing my "dream cream". I'm a lazy-latherer and I find shaving creams (those in a tube that are lathered with a brush) really lather quickly and provide great slickness. I've got about a dozen ones from various parts of the world, and I'm thinking of adding Palmira to the mix....I've heard good things about it.

I have tried a few injectors and the Hussy is the only one that gives me a really good shave. Great travel razor, with a sharp blade

Fri 16th August. RazoRock Syn. 22mm Speick Active Soap Ever Ready - Bathroom Set Gem S/S [ 1 ] Pitralon Original A/S Lotion This Razor/Blade combination is really good, as this later 1912 seems to have been designed to work with the current blade. The Shave was very smooth and comfortable, and the finish attained was nice and close all round.
