Jeeves of Hudson Street - "Turkish Bath"
DrivenLegend Red & Black | APShaveCo Tuxexo 30mm
Ever-Ready SE | Gem PTFE (2)

Based on prior use, I already knew I wasn't a fan of the "Turkish Bath" fragrance. It's just too powdery for me. It's not offensive, mind you, but rather it's simply not my style. This is a testament to the performance of Jeeves' soap that I continue to use it. Frankly, I have too many soaps. Regardless of fragrance, Jeeves is not one that will get pushed to the back, but I do intend to replace "Turkish Bath" with "Black Tea" that's currently on the way. The creaminess and density of the lather is on par with my other favorites that's probably about 5 soap bases. The post-shave is in my top 3. The residual slickness, however, may yet be number 1.

I finished with Le Grand Chypre because it's one of my favorites and it counters the Turkish Bath quite well.

The "Streamline" is firmly seated as my all-time favorite shaver. I've been alternating between a first generation (1930s) and a second generation (1950s), and I've come to the conclusion that the second generation is a skosh more forgiving. While the first generation weighs a few grams more than the second, I can't tell it in my hand. This is the consummate shaver in my book. This was a flawless head and face shave.

Excellent shave. Not as much irritation on right jawline. The angle is much higher with Vintage Gillette TTO razors than modern razors. So to whoever told me this I thank you! Tunes was epic as well! 2 pass BBS or pretty close to it again. Not much burn if any from the aftershave! I do place this Gillette Aristocrat between a Gillette 40s style Super Speed and a Gillette Red Tip. Have a good day!​

Didn't know what to expect from the Jarwin but a terrific two pass shave this morning paired with a day 4 Gillette Spoiler blade. I could feel the blade immediately and first thought was '11 R41 but not the case at all. Smooth, close shave and the 2nd pass was really just to do cleanup under my chin which is my usual trouble spot. Well satisfied with this razor and worth the trade I made for it.

I understand he only made only 10 of them. A choice item to have.

I have 10 of 10 and yes a choice item to have!
