Outstanding shave today. The Schick B1 is always a favorite. For good reasons. I am really starting to enjoy the Clubman Shave Lather too. If you add in the handle turned my 9nein9 and the Coachman life is good indeed. [/a][/quote]That knot is looking better and better the more you use it . Is the backbone holding up or is it splaying down to the handle? Veddy nice shave btw![/quote] It does not have a lot of backbone at all. Has not really been a problem though.

Gem Junior Gem Stainless PTFE 2 Semogue BC Mistura Stirling Electric Sheep First shave with a 1912 pattern razor in long enough that I don't remember using one but pretty sure I had one in my collection at some point. Overall it was an alright shave for the first time picking up this razor. It felt pretty mild, but fairly efficient. The S to N pass was a little awkward but to be expected first time using a razor. If I finished with this result from a micromatic, I would give the shave a C, but for a first time out B+. I don't see this being a favorite yet, but it definitely has potential to be a good shaver. Keep practising, there's nothing wrong with a 1912, you just have to find the right angle. The Micromatics emphasized putting the razor cap flat against your face which is also a good idea to start with on older GEM/ER models until you're comfortable with that razor, but the instructions for the older models suggested using a slightly steeper angle. It's kinda funny how some razors shave great with the handle nearly horizontal and others nearly vertical.

Friday's ShaveCold Water Rinse GZD Berber Stick Jayaruh #1 Transparent TNNSER CVS CS SE CWR Aqua Velva 5 in 1 AS My prep was just a cold water rinse. The GZD Berber Stick Shave Soap face lathered well with the Jayaruh #1 Badger Brush. I did two passes and a cleanup with the Transparent TNNSER razor with a CVS CS SE blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Aqua Velva 5 in 1 AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed... That doesn't look like a badger in a handle you made in the picture. And that should be a boar hair knot in that pig skin themed handle.

And that should be a boar hair knot in that pig skin themed handle. You are correct. I switched out the brush for my trip at the last minute. That is my Carolina Panther Synthetic, JR #255.

Thanks Tony. I'm pleased I managed to build up a good collection of OSP soaps, as now they are becoming rare.

A nice shave of the day. Razor- UnoBlade Soap- Palmolive Brush- Vie Long Horse AS- Skin Bracer Skin bracer is one of the few "classics" of AS that I enjoy anymore. Earlier I posted how my tastes have changed and they really haven't changed much since then. In fact sad to say Clubman is now on my list of disliked. I used it a week or so ago and after about an hour it left me with a bitter chemical smell that I ended up washing off.
