An excellent shave.
… except for the usual two bristles annoyingly shedding during the shave. That's it for my THIRD Mixed Midget; it'll be heading for the landfill and as much as I'm partial to them I will not be purchasing another.


Happy shaves guys.

Vintage April, 2023 + SE SOTD, Saturday, April 8th 2023

Razor : Ever- Ready 1924 (AKA- Shovel head)- Mfg 1924- 33, mid range, Interesting design that makes a person install the blade from the rear, I used a RIGS shim to smooth out the shave a little, blade splines where thicker in this time era. The shim is placed under the modern blade spline to give it the tilt it was designed for IMO. Very enjoyable close shave this morning with no issues at all. This razor was designed to last with a little care and works excellent.
Blade : Gem Personna SS PTFE(4) very sharp, excellent longevity, smooths out nicely, predictable + safest blade to handle.
Soap : La Toja stick, mild scent, with excellent lather qualities.
Brush : Yaqi "Artic sky" 24mm Silver tip(3 band) badger, excellent lather generator, heavenly luxury pillow like soft tips, very nice gentle scrubber + excellent lather painter.
Pre shave : (Dedicated Cashmere synthetic)Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser with a dollop of clear Aloe Vera on the cleaned beard area.
Prep : Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
Post shave : Fine fresh Vetiver with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results : or CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers= Excellent shave with my Ever- Ready 1924 SE with a Gem coated blade.

Have some great shaves!

Chiseled Face Legacy Ti

mini review : this razor is so underrated, it shaves mild yet very effective. The weight is perfect for my preference, balances very well. You have to play with the angle but once found you see the results speak for themselves. My friend is correct, shaves very similar to my Diamondback but in Ti format.

Razor: Gillette Slim Adjustable 1963 I2
Blade: RK (d3)

Soap: Eleven Barbershop
Brush: Yaqi Purple Haze
Bowl: Bluff Cove Pottery

Aftershave: Eleven Barbershop Balm
Post 4: Neutrogena Hydro Boost Gel-Cream Extra-Dry w/ Hyaluronic Acid

I don't have a lot of experience with barbershop-scented shaving software (I know, blasphemous) so a friend lent me some Eleven Barbershop to try out. This was really cool because I've also never used Eleven products before. I considered this a two-for-one experience. Win-win.

I do love a good barbershop scent. Don't get me wrong. I just tend to get caught up in desiring more exotic, nuanced, or niche-scented stuff when it comes to the few dollars I get to spend on software. With that said, this Barbershop offering from Eleven is really quite good. I'd have no problem dropping some coin on it or shaving with it every day, for that matter.

I was very curious to explore the soap base. I found it a little bit firmer than average compared to what's typical for most artisans these days. I appreciate this because I actually end up using less soap in the long run. It just seems to last longer. Softer soaps seem to get gobbled up a little quicker in my opinion.

The soap turned into a really nice lather when worked up. It was slick, had some density, and smelled great. I had no issues working with this soap whatsoever and actually really enjoyed it.

Liking blade feel and high efficiency, I dialed the Slim up to 9 for my first with-the-grain pass. I dropped it down to 8 for my across-the-grain pass. Then 7 for against and cleanup.

I haven't used a Slim in a while so this shave felt a little awkward. Something felt weird about the angle it needed. Like the effective cutting angle was narrow. And this was while it was set on nine! It also felt kind of top-heavy due to the slim handle. Nevertheless, I made the needed adjustments and got a really sweet bbs shave.

When done I used some matching aftershave balm. It felt, not too heavy but also not too light. It had a good middle-of-the-road feel.

Another new positive experience was had and I'm better for it. Thanks for reading and have a great shave!
