I just returned from a trip to Arizona where I used my travel setup. During those two weeks, I used Czech & Speake Soap #88, a soap no longer made. This soap has been in my travel bag for over two years. It smells great and it is a fantastic performer. It is said that this soap is no longer available. Now that I am home I continue to use another soap no longer in production: Haslinger Sandalwood, tallow formula. I am using this soap for the 24th time. The brush today is Frank Shaving Synthetic. I am using my Henson with a /Feather blade for the 5th and last time. A perfect shave. Have a wonderful day.

June 5, 2024 Wednesday shave

Razor: Karve Overlander, brass
Blade: Personna Lab Blue (3)
Brush: Yaqi 24mm Silvertip badger (10)
Soap: Proraso green
Bowl: Captain's Choice Heavyweight copper
Post shave: Osma alum block, Thayer's Witch Hazel
Aftershave: Captain's Choice Nor'easter

This was a great three pass shave of two days growth. Everything was spot-on, except for the soap. Surprisingly poor performance, no residual slickness, it was a "drag-fest". Despite the soap, the shave went well. No weepers, etc. and no irritation.

SE SOTD, Wednesday, June 5th 2024

Razor : Valet Auto-strop C1 Canadian variant. Mfg 1920's, mid range & upper mid range. This razor was abused by previous owners and I fixed it best as I could to be used 100 years later. I did modify the gap from 11/1000 to 7/1000 inch to help smooth the shave out. Had a close and comfortable shave this morning.
Blade : Gem Personna SS PTFE (modified), very sharp, excellent longevity, smooths out nicely, predictable + safest blade to use .
Soap : Razorock Don Marco, distinct citrus scents with great lather qualities.
Brush : Yaqi "Ever help full" 22 mm 2band badger. Excellent lather generator, pillow soft tips, very nice 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 Amici :001_wub: splash with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results : Dial 9.jpg or CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers=:a17: Had a close comfortable shave this morning with my Valet auto-strop C1 model razor with a modified Gem coated blade.

High Efficiency Razors June & July 2024


Hello friends

Clear evening here. Perfect for the sandalwood scent. Haslinger Sandelholz and Proraso Red, one of my favorite AS, cheered me up. Continuing with the High Efficiency Razors June & July 2024, I continue with the same set up, Greencult 2.0 and GSB (3) and Semogue SOC Mistura, but today, the Cherrywood handle.

With us, Hank Mobley's fantastic tenor.
