Razor : Gem 1912, OC, Mfg 1912-17 OC model, excellent tame mid range, fairly rare to buy now a days, built to last for a 120 year old razor, very nice shave this morning and this razor performs stellar with a new blade. Very enjoyable shave to start the day.
Blade : Gem Personna SS PTFE(8) excellent sharpness, great longevity, smooths out nicely, predictable + safest blade to handle IMO.
Soap : Cyril R Salter Indian Sandalwood cream, nice Sandalwood scent with excellent lather qualities. Very similar to TOBS sandalwood scent wise.
Brush : Yaqi "Mysterious space"24mm silver tip badger, Excellent lather generator, heavenly pillow like soft tips, gentle splay scrubber + excellent lather painter. Very enjoyable brush!

Here we are on Halloween. A wonderfully fun and spooky holiday. So, what better time then now to break out my Disney's Haunted Mansion (light-up) chess set. With Madame Leota, Hatbox Ghost and the three Hitchhiking Ghosts. We're all in for a real Treet...

Not knowing what creepy, scary monsters or ghouls I might cross paths with today, I felt that some added protection was in order. So, I called upon the (Blackland) "Blackbird" to watch over my most precious of body parts. My face! I know, vain right? I also brought along the ever so magical, silver "Bullet". With both in my possession I might stand a chance...

... A chance against Scritch Monster and Death! Yes! I said "and Death"!

Today's outlook looks dreary, and dark. I must hold Barrister & Mann responsible for part.

I did a four-pass shave as I was eyes deep in an abundant amount of Omnibus lather. For some minutes there I feared I might not make it out alive. Though don't be frightened my friends. As I did survive, or I could not have written this tale.

Once free of Death's grip, I could clearly see that my trusty Blackbird and silver Bullet were meant to be. They were steadfast and resolute. I was left shaken but thankful.

I tended to my wounds with Alum, Witch Hazel and some potion of Tabac. This left me in a healthy state of recovery. I was bruised (mentally) from my encounter but not broken. I hold my head high as I live on to best future battles to come.

Be well my fine friends, both ladies and gentlemen. But beware for you may not be as lucky as I when looking Death in the eye!

Happy Halloween everyone and enjoy your shaves!

Prep: Hot towel
Razor: Weber ARC
Blade: Vokshod
Brush: Brad Sears Archduke 26/50 2-Band Manchurian
Soap: Declaration Grooming: Gratiot League Square (Milksteak)
Post: CeraVe moisturising lotion..


oh my days! that was a rough shave, I think a dull buck knife would have been better. The only saving grace of that shave was the fact that the milksteak base saved my face. Yep, the Declaration Grooming Milksteak soap really stepped up to save that shave.
