Razor : Gem Junior bar Lather catcher. Mfg 1907-11, mild to tame mid range. Great razor to use with a fresh blade + daily driver for a lot folks IMO. Blast from the past this morning, the fellows back 1900's knew how to make beautiful razors!
Blade : Gem Personna SS PTFE(2) very sharp, excellent longevity, smooths out nicely, predictable + safest blade to handle.
Soap : Yaqi Black Pearl, very interesting type of freshness scent that the more I use it the more I enjoy it + excellent lather qualities.
Brush : Yaqi "Sarada Familia" 22mm 2band badger. Very enjoyable badger that works very well and not a lather hog.
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 Black Pearl + 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 Junior bar lather catcher with a Gem coated blade.

SOTD: 12/15/2024

Razor: Gillette Sheraton (c.1937-39)
Blade: Gillette Nacet, 1st use
Brush: Simpson Trafalgar T2
Bowl: Dirty Bird โ€œBillโ€ Bowl
Preshave: Cremo Beard & Scruff Forest Blend Cream
Soap: Barbasol Sensitive
Balm: Nivea โ€œSensitive Soothingโ€ Balm
Additional Care: T.N. Dickinsonโ€™s Witch Hazel

The Gillette Sheraton is one of my favorites. It is a nice revisit and to discover again how smooth it feels. The Barbasol and Simpson brush added to this wonderful five star shave today. Just right!

I just started working with the weck a few weeks back. Iโ€™m enjoying it so far but Iโ€™m looking forward to trying other blades. I think I would enjoy sharper blades.

December 15, 2024 Sunday shave

Razor: Lambda Athena, bronze
Blade: Gillette Perma-Sharp (2)
Soap: Stirling Scots Pine Sheep
Brush: AP Shave Co. Deep Blue 24mm G5C
Aftershave: Mennen Skin Bracer

It was another lovely shave with the Athena this morning. Three passes of two days growth resulted in a great shave.
I live way out west, so that's this weeks concession to the western theme.

Greetings, my friend. You have, as always, gorgeous photos with shaving supplies. And a real Russian winter has come to my city. There is a lot of snow on the streets and the temperature is -17 โ„ƒ
Christmas Greetings amateur - hope you keep warm and safe and you too Beto Salatini. I'm thinking of my little spread out family in Russia, Ukraine , Poland, England and China especially at this time and lit a candle for them all in the Church and prayed - God Bless them all !
