SOTD: Saturday 14th - Friday 20th December 2019.

Very nice looking handle on your Brass General. Mind me asking where it's from?
Thank you

To be honest I am not sure as it came with the razor when I bought it from the BST on here. Came with this and the original but I much prefer this longer one. Lovely to use
I may be wrong, but it looks like the brass version of Vlasta's Alpha Bravo handle.

I have not used the Original Micromatic for some time, and know that it Shaves well but requires the utmost care and attention during a Shave. In fact today it was smooth and comfortable except around the chin where I felt the slightest slip
might result in blood letting.However, pleased to say all finished without problems and the care spent was rewarded with a very squeaky clean skin.

A rushed shave this morning as we had baby Alexander overnight, and he takes two adults to supervise as he's in to everything !
A small nick below the bottom lip, but nothing alum and a cold rinse couldn't sort.
Over all a good shave, finished with Aramis EdT

Enjoy the rest of the weekend everyone

Het spijt me John Lennon (I'm sorry John Lennon) by Robert Long

I'm sorry, John Lennon
But you're wrong
The war is not over
God, if you only knew

Even if it's Christmas
The world fights through
We leave a trace
A bloody trail

Still dying children
Of poverty on the streets
There is still hunger
Still there is hatred

Homicide - money and greed
Still prevail
Murder and manslaughter - and power abuse
Theft and fraud

The wall is fallen
Ten years after death
It was like a miracle
The joy was great

The world would be 1
A brand new start
But not much later
Instantly all again

Still dying children
Of poverty on the streets
There is still hunger
Still there is hatred

I'm sorry, John Lennon
You saw it wrong
You look at the world
Was too naive

It is again reviled
It is again roared
Get weak again
And poor debt

Still dying children
Of poverty on the streets
There is still hunger
Still there is hatred

I'm sorry, John Lennon
But you did it wrong
We have so far
No thunder learned

Homicide - money and greed
Still prevail
Murder and manslaughter - and power abuse
Theft and fraud

Lo siento, John Lennon
Pero te equivocas
La guerra no ha terminado
Dios, si sólo sabía

Incluso si es Navidad
El mundo lucha a través de
Dejamos un rastro
Un rastro de sangre

Aún morir niños
De la pobreza en las calles
Todavía hay hambre
Todavía hay odio

Homicidio - dinero y la codicia
Aún prevalecer
Asesinato y homicidio - y el abuso de poder
El robo y el fraude

El muro ha caído
Diez años después de la muerte
Fue como un milagro
La alegría fue grande

El mundo sería 1
Un nuevo comienzo
Pero no mucho más tarde
Al instante todo de nuevo

Aún morir niños
De la pobreza en las calles
Todavía hay hambre
Todavía hay odio

Lo siento, John Lennon
Usted lo vio mal
Te ves en el mundo
¿Era demasiado ingenuo

Se respondía con maldición
Se volvió a rugir
Obtén débil de nuevo
Y pobre de la deuda

Aún morir niños
De la pobreza en las calles
Todavía hay hambre
Todavía hay odio

Lo siento, John Lennon
Pero lo hiciste mal
Tenemos hasta el momento
No truenos aprendió

Homicidio - dinero y la codicia
Aún prevalecer
Asesinato y homicidio - y el abuso de poder
El robo y el fraude

Greetings,

A relaxing sunday morning shave...I've mentioned before in my previous sotd postings, the ever ready 1912 (US) was my first introduction to the wonderful world of Ever Ready SE vintage razors of which i would never have tried if it wasn't for @patw who kindly gifted it to me of which i'm eternally grateful...From my first trepidation maiden shave, i was instantly swooned by these vintage ladies, not just the looks no, the smooth efficiency of these razors is remarkably good,as is the audio feedback i mention again for the umpteenth time i could happily shave with these razors for ever,but like everyone else i like to rotate my razors in my shave set ups.

A comfortable 2 pass + pick ups silky smooth shave with no errors report.

Finishing the shave off with a generous Splash of Old Spice ~ Bearglove ASL Spray.

My face is feeling silky smooth & smelling devine. ;)

Enjoy your Sunday Ladies & Gentlemen.:cool:

A very nice shave today, probably the best i have had with the Supply, The blade just seemed so smooth. I had 3 wonderful passes leaving me BBS without any buffing whatsoever.
The blade is on 5 shaves and seems to have smoothed right out.
Half way through my self inflicted month on the Proraso Red (Rudolf's nose) and i cannot complain really, it is performing very well for what it costs, I've not had a poor lather from it.
Today i mixed the lather a little wetter than i normally like it and it worked very well, very slick.
Now i am in a dilemma as i want to go for Williams Wednesday this week so may have to pass on the Red for one day - i will see.
A simple post shave consisting of a good dollop of E45 moisturiser. It will do for a dog walk in the cold morning.
Later i will prep for an afternoon lunch with my darlin'.
So a very comfortable, smooth, BBS "face feeler" .
A very happy shaver today.
Enjoy your Sunday All
