SOTD,Tue March 31st 2020

Razor : Oneblade Core Version 2 - MFG 2018> excellent daily driver with a GEM blade!
Blade: Gem Personna SS PTFE (9)
Soap: Colonel Conk Bay Rum- I really find this soap really easy to use with reasonable lather qualities!
Brush: Yaqi Timberwolf whiskers 24mm- great brush.
Pre shave: Brush wash my face with CeraVe hand bar soap + a dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on beard area.
Prep : Cold water rinse after each pass of 3. -just as good as Menthol Buzz feel.
Post shave: Avon "True gent"cologne with witch hazel + Avon True gent balm instead of Nivea .
Results: CCS,DFS,BBS + very little irritation + no weepers = great shave in my books.

Have some great shaves!

It’s the Wilkie and Tabac for me this morning for a CCS

Great Day Smooth Comfortable Shaves

 

[OhioBob]

Schick Eversharp E3, Schick injector (3)

First time using the E and it was efficient, but face irritated. Lots of blade feel. Three weepers cured by Alum stick, used Stirling Unscented post shave balm. Face still burning, so E will be put back in shave den for looks and I doubt it will be used again.

CV HELJESTRAND

Hi SE lovers well here is the Heljestrand wedge blade razor. This particular razor is a good shaver for me but it’s the least lived by me of the wedge blade format. I prefer the Henckels Rapide then the Wilkinson Pall Mall before this particular shaving tool
