1912 Ever Ready

Gem blade

Mystic Water Bay Rum

Morris & Forndran

Ice cube rub, refrigerated WH, refrigerated Captain's Choice

This whole week I have neglected my modern day razors and have been showing a lot of love to my vintage SE razors. I have been getting some incredible face & dome shaves. Today's SE was the 1912 ER. The Mystic Water Bay Rum was intoxicating and the Captain was superb.:cool: Ahhhhh. . . life is great after a soothing & relaxing shave.:)

Mystic Water Mysore Sandalwood - Semogue 830 - 11/16 Wagner & Lange - D.R Harris Marlborough

I was checking out the edge on the Wagner & Lange today as I gave it a touch up last night before I give the razor to my Uncle to try out. Instead of him spending money on a starter set up I decided to give him a lend of one of mine as well as a strop. This razor should do him nicely as an introduction to straight razors.

On a side note, the Mystic Water sample I recieved a couple of weeks ago is just about finished. There might be enough for one more shave but I've really enjoyed using this stuff. It is definitely a future purchase for me.

Gillette Fusion Proglide Power
Proglide cartridge (15)
Barbasol 'Skin Conditioner' shave cream
Witch Hazel
Gillette Cool Wave


I'm very impressed with this Fusion Proglide Cartridge, a BBS on the 15th day of use. The Barbasol provides enough cushion and slickness for me to go a little longer, a two pass with touch up with no irritation or burn, amazing. I may have to re-evaluate my lather method with soaps. The Barbasol 'Skin Conditioner' deserves all the praise it gets in the shaving boards. Aces!
