Pre-shave: Proraso Green
Brush: Romera Manchurian Badger
Soap: Barrister & Mann Fougere
Razor: GEM 1923 SE
Blade: GEM (7)
After-shave: Thayers Witch Hazel & Pinaud Clubman

This 1912 is almost becoming an extension of my right arm. Hopefully it will not be fused to my fingers when @bald as 1924 turns up. No sign of a blade in decline yet.

Ahem..... @Pjotr

9 hours and that Pinaud Clubman is still going strong! Talk about staying power.

[bald as]

Interesting shave this morning. I suppose I didn't really need a shave but of course I did have one.
I started using my MMOC with its 8th shave. It wasn't bad - GEM blades don't get tuggy like DE blades when they run out of puff but their performance does fall off gradually. I like a smooth sharp blade so changed to my MM Bullet point razor which I got from a fellow forum member @boldsworth just recently, it is a very mild razor compared to the MMOC. The new blade and the MMBT was great - but - mild as this razor is I managed to nick myself about 3 times. Mild doesn't mean you cannot get nicked.

I face lathered with #1 Turkish. That really is a great brush
Homebrew soap.
2 passes
and cold face wash between passes
Splash of Witch hazel.

The MMOC is aggressive but you wind up the caution factor a bit and enjoy the results. The MMBT is mild and I need to appreciate [which I do] that mild is not indicative of a lack of efficient close shaving, and that it can bite.

The shave was definitely BBS but because I nicked myself I call DFS.

[Nightguard]

Just perfect.

Razor: FB Exec
Brush: FS Finest
Blade: Non vintage Gillette Platinum
Soap: La Toja stick

3 and out for the non vintage blade I'm afraid.

I used to like the nice clean smell of Latoya, but I'm rapidly going off her since I realised she has the same smell as the Linen (or is it Cotton?) air "fresheners" the cleaners have put in the toilets at work.

You're kidding!

In my experience that's what a new GEM blade can do to you, no matter which razor you use.

I'm not talking about the lumps of arko in the urinal. I mean the spray can of "mask my smell" which of anything accentuates it.,

You'll have to start just hoping that commercial cleaning and disinfectant companies don't start using fancier scents like bergamot and sandalwood as you'll be growing a beard.

 

[unobtainium81]

shave away from home with an English Wilkinson blade
