SOTD, Thur, May 21st 2020

Razor: Gem junior 1912 parade with the baton handle-Mfg 1943, I find this 1912 model with this handle one of my favorites to shave with.The handle acts like a stand all in one. Also the corners of the base plate are rounded a little more than other older models IMO.
Blade: Gem Personna SS PTFE (6) just a great blade to use-very sharp, great longevity and smooths out after a few shaves.
Soap: Razorock XXX- great freshness scent with excellent lather qualities.
Brush: Razorock Plissoft 24 mm- great brush to lather with, soft tips, good splay with a nice scrub.
Pre-shave: Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on beard area.
Prep: cold water rinse after each pass of 3 + clean up.
Post shave: Razorock XXX with witch hazel + a small dollop of Nivea sensitive balm.
Results: CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers = :a17: excellent shave with my Gem jr. with the baton handle.

Gel: Elegance Plus "Jupiter"*
Razor: Oristo
Blade: Dorco Prime (4)
Post: GBS alum block
Balm: CeraVe
Frag: Jean Paul Gaultier Le Male
*I really like this glop.
I can just spread some on, and shave away.

True, it lacks the cachet and panache of of a well crafted lather,
but sometimes, time is of the essence.
(And besides, sometimes I'm just bone lazy.)

Stay healthy, everyone!

Preshave - some stuff I made
Soap - Fendrihan coconut vanilla
Blade - Shark
Razor - Black beauty 1982 set to 6

An early morning shave, I get up at 5am. Not sure what made me reach for the black beauty (my birth year razor) but I put aside my daily driver ‘64 slim today.

7/10 shave. Great all around with solid results. Nothing special but nonetheless a solid get ready for the day, everyday shave.

I’m waiting for my newly acquired 1920s (I think) king cutter straight edge to get back from sharpening (sent it to classic edge). I’ve never used a straight edge before but am really looking forward to it.
