ER 1924 / BRW Improved handle Gem Stainless PTFE 3 Semogue BC Mistura CO Bigelow SC Dr. Sana Alcoholado
Another nice shave with the ER 1924. With the longer handle, I really like this shave the razor provides. I think I am going to stick with it for a while to dial in my technique. Not even a dozen shaves with it and it is keeping pace with my preferred razors. Enjoy your day.

Sat 14th Dec. RazoRock Syn. 24mm P & B Spitfire Gem Micromatic Gem S/S [ 3 ] P &B Spitfire A/S Splash Having not used The Micromatic for a while I was aware that this Shave did not need to be rushed. Got it about right as the Shave was rather smooth and comfortable, apart from around the chin especially the tip where the Razor felt ready to bite if I was not careful. My care was rewarded with an extremely close all round finish that Top Notch.

15/12/2019 Pre: Pears Transparent Original Brush: Alpha Titanium Outlaw G4 Soap: Proraso Red Razor: Supply V2 - Plate 2 Blade: Personna (5) Post shave: Alum Block, cold water splash, Homemade Witch Hazel Balm: A dollop of E45 - Later Homemade Neroli & Orange infused Argan Oil Aftershave: None - Later Copycat Just Neroli A very nice shave today, probably the best i have had with the Supply, The blade just seemed so smooth. I had 3 wonderful passes leaving me BBS without any buffing whatsoever. The blade is on 5 shaves and seems to have smoothed right out. Half way through my self inflicted month on the Proraso Red (Rudolf's nose) and i cannot complain really, it is performing very well for what it costs, I've not had a poor lather from it. Today i mixed the lather a little wetter than i normally like it and it worked very well, very slick. Now i am in a dilemma as i want to go for Williams Wednesday this week so may have to pass on the Red for one day - i will see. A simple post shave consisting of a good dollop of E45 moisturiser. It will do for a dog walk in the cold morning. Later i will prep for an afternoon lunch with my darlin'. So a very comfortable, smooth, BBS "face feeler" . A very happy shaver today. Enjoy your Sunday All

SE Sunday's ShaveCold Water Rinse Arko High Performance Shave Cream Tom's 3D Printed Brush C.V. Heljestrand Gem SE CWR Lilac Vegetal My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Arko Shave Cream face lathered well with Tom's 3D Printed Brush. I did two passes and a cleanup with the C.V. Heljestrand Lather Catcher razor with a Gem SE blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Lilac Vegetal After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Saturday DECember 14 EverReady SE shave today. Bowl/Scuttle - GP12 Soap - Le Pere Lucien Brush - Jayaruh #330 White Oak Blade - GEM SE SS (3) Razor - EverReady 1933-34 SE Post Shave - OSMA Pierre alum, Pinaud Clubman A/S Shave rating 5 of 5 Surprised by today's shave. The blade is getting a little old and this razor and blade just gave me one of the best shaves I've ever received. Very smooth, could feel and hear the blade but it wasn't overly aggressive. A two pass shave, WTG and XTG, and it was easily BBS. The LPL produced great lather that was nice and thick and slick. The Jayaruh brush is a really nice brush. The alum was SILENT. Finished up with the Clubman. Happy DECember and great shaves everyone.

It was a sleepy Sunday shave before church. I went to bed about 12:30am, got woke up at 1:15am to work a server outage and wrapped that up at 4:30 am then off to bed until 7am to get ready for church. It was a nice shave though. I welcomed the Razorock Hawk V2 back from its trip down South. Razor: Razorock Hawk V2 Blade: Feather Pro Soap: Clubman Brush: Vie Long American Style White Horse AS: Krampert's FInest Bay Rum Acadian Spice
