ASRazor shave, Monday, March 11th 2024
Razor : Ever-Ready streamline 2nd generation- Mfg 1949-53, mid to upper mid range. This razor was designed when the Gem blade spline was thicker, but fast forward to todays modern blade it has a thinner aluminum spline so to mimic the the older spline I add a shim underneath the Modern blade spline(R.I.G.S) to smooth out the shave slightly. Had a close comfortable shave this morning.
Blade : Gem Personna SS PTFE (10) very sharp, smooths out nicely, excellent longevity, predictable + safest blade to handle.
Soap : Ach Brito Lavanda cream, nice milder scented lavender with a touch of mint, + excellent lather qualities. This is a wonderful shave cream and it is very easy to reach a very nice lather quickly IMO.
Brush : Yaqi "Mountain lake" 24mm 2band badger. Excellent lather generator, pillow like soft tips. nice splay scrubber + great lather painter.
Pre shave : (Dedicated Cashmere synthetic)Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser with a dollop of clear Aloe Vera on the cleaned beard area.
Prep : Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
Post shave : Ach Brito Lavender with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results : or CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers= Had a close comfortable shave this morning with my Ever-Ready Streamline razor with a coated Gem Blade.
Have some great shaves!
