Continuing to get First Class Shave with this Razor/Blade combo. Really is good at doing buffing strokes to get the closest of shaves. My Old brush from 70`s is very effective with the cream.

SOTD - Friday, Day-23 Tabac-tober/OC-tober
Soap: BowTie "Tobacco & Bay"
Brush: California Redwood burl w/ 30mm Shavemac 2-band silvertip bulb
Razor: ATT-S2 w/Jurgen Hemple Ti-wave handle
Blade: Triton R3 (1)
Post: Thayer's witch hazel followed by Derby City Chop Shop Shave tonic
No pre-shave (other than hot shower), face-lathered with the 30mm beast. Great lather and heavenly scent. Trying a new blade today, gifted by a friend. Not as sharp as some, but smooth. All in all a great shave this morning.

Bulldog Face Wash
Jade East Shaving Cream & Plisson Synthetic
GEM/Ever Ready Pushbutton & GEM Stainless (2)
Hot Rinse, Cold Rinse & Alum Wash
Jade East Aftershave

Bowl Lathered
Two Pass - WTG & WTG (Slide)

Lovely vintage shave with Jade East and this curious pushbutton, branded both GEM (on the handle) and Ever Ready (on the baseplate of the head). I believe it's a British market razor, although Ever Ready does say "Made in USA". Go figure ...

Playing off the citrus, spicy, musky shaving products, today's blend of attars was a triple layer of Surrati Al Khaleej, a citrus aromatic with violet florals and coriander spice; Al Aneeq Oudh Badar, a citrus oudh; Surrati Black Musk, a deep, powdery musk with almost coffee notes to begin with, settling down to a fruit black fruit leather.
