Soap & Aftershave Signature Soaps Hibernia
Brush Yaqi 24mm Mojito 2 Band Badger
Razor Joseph Rodgers 5/8
Beautiful lather from this quality soap...rich and slick, easily whipped up by the excellent brush.
This razor potential is further realized in today's shave. Previous use was not keen enough. After putting it slowly through the 0.1um balsa followed by the Kanayama... the razor's edge is now silky soft smoothness and very keen. Almost did not feel the edge. 3passes for a good bbs-dfs finish...

Soap & Aftershave Barrister & Mann Seville
Brush SOC Cherry Wood Boar
Razor P Hospital Le Grelot Thiers
This soap and matching splash smell very good and the lather is just superb...whip-up to perfection by the wonderful boar brush!! This razor's edge is just where I like it...buttery smoothness and keenness! Perfect! 3passes for a bbs-dfs finish...

ASRazor shave, Tuesday, February 21st 2023

Razor : Gem Feather weight 1st Generation- Mfg 1950-52, 2nd Gen 1953-54, mild to tame mid range, 1 Oz weight, this razor is the super speed of the Gem or ASR razors depending on experiences and technique of course. Very enjoyable carefree shave this morning.
Blade : Gem Personna SS PTFE(6) very sharp, excellent longevity, smooths out nicely, predictable + safest blade to handle.
Soap : Ogallala Bayrum & Sandalwood, nice scent of Bayrum & sandalwood( some clove) with great lather qualities. I cut a few slivers and press in bowl to load the brush or make some bowl lather. Bowl lather is then apply to a wet face and paint on or splay lather to face until a nice cream appears add a little water as needed works well for myself. It bowl slightly different than other soaps has been my experiences. Nice soap!
Brush :Yaqi "Tail coats" 24mm synthetic, excellent lather painter, cloud like soft tips, nice splay scrubber + excellent lather painter. This brush knot is very similar face feel to my Silver tip badger (G4?) and handle works well also.
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 : Ogallala Bayrum & Sandalwood + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results :CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers= Excellent shave with my Gem Feather weight with a coated Gem blade.

Have some great shaves!

Comments	Today’s shave revolves around my 81st birthday. I am continuing to use the MdC soap for the 30th shave. My late wife bought me this soap several years ago when we were in France and gave it to me as a birthday present. The Hoffritz brush is my oldest brush but is not as old as me! The Timeless SS SB/Med Prep combo is on its 6thth use. A nice, smooth, close shave. Have a great day folks.

Happy belated birthday and many more @ackvil .
