Greetings,

A blue themed early morning shave..

Throughout the week my vintage E-R SE razors have all performed wonderfully with each shave, the last of my shaves for this week is with my Ever-Ready 1924 'Shovelhead' which is the most aggressive out of all my E-R SE razors, but like all my other vintage ladies this one is a super smooth shaver with a more efficient edge.

Another very comfortable 3 pass + pick ups near bbs shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with a generous dollop of Arko ~ Cool Aftershave Balm.

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

Enjoy your day, ladies & gentlemen.

Not got my act together sufficiently for a picture but:

1. Wash face with glycerin soap
2. Cella, bowl lathered with L'Occitane Plisson
3. Gillette HD500 w/7 O'Clock (2) - 3 pass
4. Alum block
5. Bart's Amber and Moroccan Jasmine balm (first time trying this, so probably put a bit too much on - at least my wife thought so)
