I'm not one to chase an infinity of
shaves from a single blade, but
this particular USTA must be
pushing 15--pretty close to
a record for me. And, no, I
have no plans to join the
Excalibur brotherhood.

Stay healthy,

Bill​

Razor: Timeless .95 Titanium Scalloped
Blade: Lord Silver Star Super Stainless Steel (5)
Bowl: Captain’s Choice Copper (Heavyweight)
Brush: Paladin Samurai 26mm
Soap: Martin de Candre Agrumes (sample)
Aftershave: Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements Immortal Peach Aftershave / Cologne (sample)

Wow, what a shave. First time using MdC, scooped out about half of what I normally would with the artisan soap samples and had way too much soap, ended up having enough lather for 2 full shaves at least. As I loaded too heavy, first pass was a little dry but I corrected that for the next two passes and wow. Was thick shiny lather that was protective but still crazy slick. Got a BBS with no issues and zero feedback with the alum and aftershave, leaving my face with a fantastic luxurious feel, can see why MdC gets so much love. I’m undecided about the Argumes scent, didn’t like it or dislike it but after more shaves, maybe I’ll come around to it (also have a sample of Fougere to try). Immortal Peach smells just like a ripe juicy peach after biting into it, making me drool all evening haha

Greetings,

Face & Head Shave.

A new shave set up to start the weekend.....Starting my SEptember with the Ever Ready 1912 (US) which was my first introduction to the wonderful world of vintage Ever Ready SE razors...Throughout the month i intend to add a mixture of SE & DE razors to my SOTD set ups.

All of my Ever Ready vintage SE razors are a pleasure to shave with, once you've adjusted to the required shaving angle training your mind to use good shaving technique these vintage ladies will reward you with some sublime shaves.

The solid design of these razors & the thickness of the Gem PTFE blade give them great rigidity keeping blade chatter under control which is wonderful especially for head shaving.

A enjoyable close comfortable BBS face & head shave with no errors to report.

Finishing to the shave off with a few small squirts of Blue Stratos EdT to the pulse points....My face and precious swede are both feeling silky smooth & smelling divine.

Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.
