| Comments | A rainy and damp Sunday. This is the 4th and final shave with my U.K. Aristocrat razor loaded with a Wizamet razor blade. It was a nice shave: close without any nicks or irritation. The shaving brush today is my Shavemac 177 Silvertip. I won this brush at a Sue auction years ago. This brush makes a rich lather and is soft on my face. The Williams soap is on its 73rdnd use. I am surprised that I am getting so many quality shaves with this vintage soap. Have a great day, folks. |

Razor : Gem Jr Parade 1912 with baton taper handle. Mfg 1943, tame mid range. Well built to last generations and still gives a wonderful shave in the right hands. I really enjoy this tapered handle and wish there where more similar handles.
Blade : Gem Personna SS PTFE (4) very sharp, excellent longevity, smooths out nicely, predictable + safest blade to handle.
Soap : Yaqi Musketeer rapier, very nice unique scent that turns my crank + excellent lather qualities.
Brush : Yaqi " Cola" 22mm synthetic. Excellent lather generator, cloud like soft tips, nice splay scrubber + excellent 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 : Yaqi Musketeer rapier splash + 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 Gem Jr Parade 1912 with a coated Gem blade.
Have some great shaves!

Razor: Blackland Blackbird
Blade: Gillette Platinum (2)
Post: Thayers Cucumber Witch Hazel, Pinaud Clubman Classic Vanilla Aftershave Lotion
Scent: Aramis Tuscany Per Uomo EdT
I acquired this soap at about the same time as some I Coloniali. I find the two soaps very similar - the pucks are about the same size and consistency, as is the performance. I give the slight edge to the Calani, as I prefer its scent.
