Friday Morning Shave Extravaganza
The Schick-Eversharp version of the much maligned Gillette Techmatic. It's a Lady because of the
wonderful color but it worked on my man-bits just fine. In fact it was a really Amazing shave.
Right now the battle of the bands goes to the Lady.

DE SOTD, Thursday, May 23rd 2024.
Razor : Razorock Game changer.84 with a Razorock Radio nob 316 SS handle. Mfg 2018>, mild to tame mid range IMO. I like to use a Kai SS extra wide in this razor for slight increase in blade feel. The razor works well and has been in my rotation for many years and should be for many more years forward. Had a close comfortable shave this morning.
Blade : Kai SS (3) sharp and smooth. Excellent longevity, works well in those mild razors that need a little extra blade feel because they are slightly wider by 8-9/1000 of a inch or 4.5/1000" per side.
Soap : Cyril R Salter Wild Rose cream. Nice rose scented with excellent lather qualities. Very easy lather to mix in no time and works well.
Brush : Yaqi "Bali" 24mm 3 band silvertip badger. Excellent lather generator, luxury pillow like soft tips, luxury splay scrubber + great lather painter. I always smile when I see this brush bloom display from 1st cleaning, it still has a large bloom.
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 : Italian barber Amici splash with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results :
or CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers=
Had a close comfortable shave this morning with my RR GC.84 with Kai SS blade.
Have some great shaves!

Tonight's Shave Honors Joan of Arc
On May 23, Joan led a sortie against the Burgundians besieging Compiègne. Despite her initial success in repelling the enemy, English reinforcements arrived, and the French were forced to retreat. Joan, always fighting at the forefront, stayed behind to cover her troops' retreat. As she bravely held off the enemy, the Burgundians unhorsed and captured her.
Despite being taken prisoner, Joan remained defiant and steadfast in her beliefs. She was sold to the English, who put her on trial for heresy and witchcraft. Joan maintained her innocence throughout the trial, claiming she acted under divine guidance. Despite her unwavering faith, she was ultimately found guilty and sentenced to death by burning at the stake.

No, it's not common around here it seems. It's not anything like R89 or a Tech.
I think it's similar to a heavy Henson AL13. It got about one angle that cuts. It's a weird one. The result is pretty good, but it's not super comfortable - it's like the angle is not quite right, so the edge is scraping a bit.
Maybe with more practice it will be better. The second shave was way better than the first
