Whats the brush?

June has accidentally turned into Merkur Progress month

It was on deck again this morning with a 2nd use Merkur blade. Everything was spot on bar the blade so that's getting binned.

Score 9/10

Soap/Cream: Palmolive stick

Razor: Merkur 38C
Blade: Gillette Platinum (1st)
Post: warm rinse; Ladrôme witchhazel + alum
AS: cold rinse; Pitralon Classic.
Lukewarm shower: La Maison de Savon de Marseille 'Masculin'


Two passes (WTG/ATG), pleasant process with excellent end result. Less BBS than I achieved yesterday with the Personna Platinum (red, 1st) but sooo much more fun shaving. I ditched the Personna after one shave. Incredible result but no fun at all for me to shave with that blade.

9,5/10 for me

Good morning! Wonderful shave this morning. I’m really enjoying the Platinum blade in the Lupo. It seems to have hit its sweet spot, and today’s shave went as smooth as could be. Great lather as usual from the electric sheep and Starcraft brush. BBS.

My nicks and weepers arose from clumsiness on my part and rushing to get done before mowing the back yard this morning—want to get it done before the heat / THI cranks up. However, the blade hinted at dulling. Will bank it if poor results tomorrow.

Razor: GEM Micromatic Open Comb (MMOC #1 “Gateway”)
Blade: GEM PTFE
Brush: Paladin El Dorado
Soap: Martin de Candre Rose
Lather: Face
Post: Thayers WH Aloe
Aftershave: Stirling Deep Blue Sea

The Shave: W/X/A for a BBS. The MMOC was extremely efficient as usual. I never get any irritation with a MMOC if I do my part. I really enjoy the way they shave.
The El Dorado and MDC Rose are the perfect match, rich, creamy lather, nice and slick, heavenly face feel, just wow.
10/10 easily. I never thought that I would be using a razor like the MMOC, soaps like MDC, or brushes like Paladins…thank goodness for B&B and a willingness to experiment!

Pre-Shave: Cold water splash - Cremo Shave Cream Bourbon Vanilla (Brushless - applied by hand.)
Soap: Dr. Jon's Anne Bonny
Brush: Semogue Pharos synthetic
Razor: RazoRock Lupo SS SB .95
Blade: Van Der Hagen SS (1)
Post-Shave: Cold water splash - Stirling Black Ice Black Licorice-scented Witch Hazel - Lucky Tiger aftershave tonic
AS: Dr. Jon's Anne Bonny splash

The Van Der Hagen blade workeed very well in the Lupo...was pleasantly surprised. Will definitely be using all of the ones I ordered. All in all a DFS/BBS with no injuries. Anne Bonny is an oldie but a goodie in my collection...it caught my eye and I pulled it out. Performed well.

Happy Shaves, Everyone.

South Florida Monday morning two-pass shave, 10/10, BBS-, just a lovely, relaxing, stress, and mishap free shave. My MIL seems to be settling in well, she's happy, the wife's happy and antsy to leave. I figure we'll be able to fly back out to Arizona within a week. I've been away for ten weeks, which is getting a bit much to not sleep in one of your own beds. It's been a good trip though, fun with the eastern grandkids, and helping both of our aged moms.

Pre-shave: it's so humid here in South Florida that it feels like my beard starts pre-softened each morning before I shower.
Razor: Occam's razor- two-dot plate- seems I may be the only one posting so frequent use of this razor, but my shaves have continued to be really fantastic, close and stress free.
Blade: Schick Proline (6)- feeling the blade dulling a bit; still cutting okay. The Prolines are really nice AC blades; I shipped the rest of the injector pack back home, so TSA wouldn't get them, but have a few Feather Pros left with me.
Brush: Shavemac small pure badger- breaking in nicely
Soap: Canada Shave soap- a superb lather
Post-shave: cool water rinse, pat dry, Epsilon Amber AS splash- I expected to feel a but of burn, but none at all.

Have some great shaves!

Razor: Gem Junior bar- Mfg 1907-11, excellent tame mid range razor, great carefree shave today, I get a lot of performance with a fairly new blade from this work of art razor. Good daily driver IMO.
Blade: Gem Personna SS PTFE (2) Very sharp, good longevity, smooths out nicely + predictable blade.
Soap: Razorock Santa Marie del Fiore, nice light Tabaco scent with vanilla scent + excellent lather conditions.
Brush: Yaqi 24mm 2 band badger, excellent lather generator, pillow soft tips, great scrub + great lather painter. 24 mm is a good size knot or smaller for a badger, this brush is not a lather hog IMO.
Pre shave: Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar soap with a dollop of Clear Aloe Vera gel on the cleaned beard area.
Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
Post shave: Razorock Santa Marie del Fore with witch hazel + a dollop of Nivea balm.
Results: 9.5/10 or CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers = Excellent shave with my Gem Jr bar with a coated Gem blade.

Have some great shaves!
