Comments
I am starting the week off with a different razor and blade: my Karve with a Wizamet blade. The shave was close and smooth. It wasn’t as smooth as when I used my Timeless – but it did a good job. Today’s brush came from the C.O. Bigelow Pharmacy which claims it is the oldest pharmacy in NY. It opened in 1938. This is one nice brush. This was the 42nd day I used the Haslinger soap. The result was a nice, smooth, BBS shave. Have a wonderful day and week, folks.
 
(Just re-posting because I realised I posted my SOTD in last weeks thread, I missed this one somehow)

ASRazor shave, Monday, June 24th 2024

Razor : Ever Ready streamline 2nd Generation. Mfg 1949-53, well built to last and still works well 70 yrs later. I like to use a RIGS shim to smooth the shave because the razor was refined to use the Gem blades with thicker spine back before the modern blade was offered in the mid 50's + nice razor to use when blade uses are higher IMO. Had a close comfortable stellar shave this morning.
Blade : Gem Personna SS PTFE (9) very sharp, excellent longevity, smooths out nicely, predictable + safest blade to handle.
Soap : Razorock XXX regular, very nice clean XXX scent with excellent lather qualities. One of my favorites!
Brush :Yaqi "Moka Express" 26 mm synthetic. Excellent lather generator, luxury heavenly cloud like soft tips, gentle splay scrubber + excellent lather painter. Very good hybrid test brush, one of my best synthetic brushes.
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 : Razorock XXX splash with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results : Dial 10 stellar.jpg or CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers=:a17: Had a close comfortable stellar shave this morning with my Ever-Ready stream liner with a Gem coated blade.
