Shaving recipe for today.
  • warm shower./ Imperial Leather Peppermint & Eucalyptus shower gel. / warm wet flannel to my face.
  • Razor: Parker 99R.
  • Blade:Gillette 7o'Clock SharpEdge. (new)
  • Brush: Semogue 1470.
  • Soap: Wilkinson sword shave bowl. + 4 drops of glycerin in mixing bowl.
  • Warm wet flannel/ cold wet flannel to rinse my face.
  • Witch Hazel./Nivea men Creme.
  • Post :Lucky Tiger Aftershave & Face

  • Today i decided to use the Wilkinson Sword shave bowl again,.i've learn't a valuable lesson today and that is my Semogue is the brush of choice when i'm using my wilkinson sword shave bowl, i've only used my Parker 99R a dozen times or so since i bought her,.all my DE razors are ladies which i treat with respect, if i don't, they will give me a nasty bite. !:D..anyway the combo of the Parker 99R & the new russian 7o'Clock sharp edge blade gave me, the best ultra smooth no irritation shave that i've had since i've started DE shaving..on a scale of 1 to 10 my shave's are normally between 7-9 but today it was 10+:).maybe it was new blade, or i'm finally receiving the best technique of what i'm applying when i'm shaving..wonderful shave, Russian blades are superb";).have a great day.:cool:

That's an outstanding image, and a beautiful brush.
 
After this morning's shave it was blade change time, which also means razor cleaning time...

  • Usual Glyce soap wash
  • Proraso White pre-shave
  • TOBS Sensitive cream
  • Warm Coal Tar soap wash
  • Cold water rinse + alum
  • Pinaud Clubman AS
  • GFT Lime Skin Food
And then removal of the Voskhod blade after 3 uses, rinse of the individual razor parts under warm water, then reattachment of the razor (loose)...and a good swirl around in a jar of surgical spirit. Razor then left to air dry (which it does very quickly because of the alcohol)...et voila: A nice clean and disinfected razor ready for the new blade.

Note...the blade in the piccy is behind the jar, not in it!

Pre: Noxema Classic
Razor: Genco Gold Seal
Brush: Simpsons Special
Soap: B&M Unscented
Post: Witch Hazel / coconut oil

Great shave this morning. I am getting wonderful shaves with my Genco Gold Seal SR. I used Noxema Classic as my preshave cream. First time in a long time. I find it odd that in the midst of summer I am finding my skin dry. I am stating to use coconut oil as my post-shave. Learn to go with the flow. A sign of age...
