The only animal this time is the badger as I wasn't aware of the theme when I shaved yesterday.

This is the second shave with the Wolfman WR2 with a Personna Lab blade. This razor-blade combination resulted in a nice, close, smooth shave. I am continuing to use the Haslinger Sandalwood Soap, the tallow formula. This is the second use of the soap. The lather was slick and did its job. Todayโ€™s brush is a boar: the B&B Essential Boar, Sue Version. A perfect shave. Have a wonderful day, folks.

Tuesday Morning Tonsure Tussle

Little GEM Junior is pretty beat up but it's one of my favorite and best shaving GEM Razors.
Always a Great shave with a fine Soap from Strike Gold Shave. Resurrected the Horn Handle Brush
from Storage. It sheds like a Golden Retriever but it's like a cushion on the face.

Razor : Gem 1912 Damaskenne OC, MFG 1912-15, mild to tame mid range. Excellent design and stamping technology for that time period. Very enjoyable old razor to use that will compete with almost any razor for my desired results at the end of a shave. Had a close comfortable shave this morning.
Blade : Gem Personna SS PTFE(9) Very sharp, excellent longevity, smooths out nicely + safest blade to handle.
Soap : Cyril R Salter Wild Rose. Nice rose scented 7/10 strength with excellent lather qualities. Great creams CRS makes.
Brush : Yaqi "Moka express: 26mm 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 : Italian barber(RR) Amici splash with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results : Dial 9.5.jpg or CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers=:a17: Had a close comfortable shave this morning with my Gem 1912 with a coated Gem blade.
