Razor: Wolfman WR1
Blade: King Gillette
Aftershave: St John’s Bay Rum
Balm: Antica Barbieria Colla Almond Oil Milk

What's new? Well, the GD soap, the aftershave and the balm are all from the last month. A solid, good shave. The scent of the Mallard Coconut Rum I love and it pairs with the St John's so nicely. The ABC aftershave balms are in a league of their own for making my skin feel great -- expensive but the best (at least in my experience). I'll give this a 9.7

GEMonday, Dec 13th 2021

Razor: Gem junior bar lather catcher- Mfg 1907-11, excellent tame mid range(mild?) with a new blade this baby performs nicely, it is just a nice razor to use if you like Gem razors period. Well built to last, great audio feedback, space age technology for it time era with the skin tension bar which was replaced with a top cap eventually. Gem seemed to have great ideas with their razors.
Blade: Gem Personna SS PTFE(1) Very sharp blade, great longevity, smooths out nicely + predictable.
Soap: Razorock Irish Countryside, mild scent with excellent lather qualities. Nice soap.(Misted)
Brush: Yaqi 2band badger with barber pole handle(nice hand ergonomics), excellent lather generator, pillow like soft tips, nice scrubber, + excellent lather painter.
Pre shave: Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on the cleaned beard area.
Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups.
Post shave: Razorock XXX with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizer lotion (balm) + scentless.
Results: CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers = Excellent shave with my Gem junior bar with a gem coated blade.

Have some great shaves!

Monday 12/13 SOTD, a nice CCS shave with no mishaps; I had such a close shave yesterday I just took it easy this morning. Since I've been using my newest razors for Canada week, I decided to pull out the razor that I haven't used in the longest time- what's old is new again :

Pre-shave: shower w/ Goat's milk Australian soap
Razor: Feather Popular- about as mild and easy a shave as it gets for me
Blade: KCG (2) sharp enough and smooth enough for today's shave
Soap: MdC Nature- always a nice lather, and you don't need much
Brush: Simpson Commodore X2 in Best- solid performer
Post-shave: cool rinse, and then some CC Venture, very nice scent, good prformance

Have a great week!
