Il Marchese Brush - this showed up today. A lather monster.
Rockwell 6S with 3rd use Gillette Silver Blue Blade
Phoenix Indestructible Scuttle - This came with the brush and worked better than I thought it would.....I do a face then head shave and am slow so the lather was no longer hot by the time I got to my head. Still for about 15 minutes anything in the scuttle was definitely hot.
Fendrihan Bergamot pre shave
TOBS Grapefruit Shave Cream
Truefitt and Hill Lime After Shave Balm
Dr Johns Tangerine Dream Aftershave Splash - also new today.........very fruity. Goes well with the shave cream.

Monday shave

Prep: Curology Cleanser
Cream: ToBS Jermyn Street
Brush: Vulfix Grosvenor badger/boar
Razor: Mühle R89 Grande, #10
Blade: Treet New Steel, #1 (shimmed)
Post: Alum -> hyaluronic acid -> Pinaud Clubman Special Reserve aftershave

Two passes: SAS on my lower neck and DFS everywhere else. Zero feedback and no irritation on my neck. Probably the best shave with this razor so far. The ToBS made for some great lather and this blade has been the best yet with this razor, sharp and smooth. First use of the Treet and I was impressed.

Brush Yaqi 24mm Heavy Metal Tuxedo
Razor Pearl Flexi Adjustable V1
Blade KAI 1st
Post & Aftershaves Ice Water + Thayers + Hyaluronic + Clubman Brandy Spice
Reused previous-day lather. It was dried-up but with some added water, wow! From dried-up back to a nice creamy and slick lather. The scent remains consistent...very nice!!!
Shave with razor paired with the blade was good. Really heavy razor and just a very minor imbalance for both sides of blade exposure. At setting 4-4-3 it was smooth and comfortable for 3passes for a mostly bbs result but 1 micro weeper.
Excellent aftershaves. Rating 9.5/10

 

[Chard52142]

Razor: Gem Junior 1912 Parade with baton taper handle- MFG 1943, excellent mid range, I really enjoy this razor with tapered handle & receive stellar results.

A very nice baton handle for the GEM Junior!! I really wanted it when I was getting my own junior but missed out.

*An old college favorite, and said
to be often worn by Frank Sinatra.
Ring-a-ding-ding!

Also, I've shelved my quest for a truly effective
pre-shave. The results are just too inconclusive.
Today, for example, I shaved without a pre-shave
and got as good a shave as ever. Go figure.

Stay healthy, everyone!​
