11nd April to 17rd April 2020

11/04/20
Pre: 1912 Citrus Musk
Brush: Simpson Chubby 2
Soap: 1912 Citrus Musk
Razor: Occam Classic V1 plate #2
Blade: Chinese unbranded AC (1 & out)
Post shave: Alum Block, cold water splash, Homemade Witch Hazel
Balm: Bart's Balm Lime Balm & Lotion
Aftershave: 1912 Citrus Musk


1st and last time for the unbranded Chinese AC blade ( i got them with a Chinese AC razor) not the best blade i have used, therefore not to be used again.
Shame really as i had not used the Occam's for a while, it will get another run out soon.
The 1912 Citrus is very similar in scent traits as the OSP Neroli, so i really like it.
I ended up with a DFS+ finish and nothing from the block, although it was not the most comfortable shave i have had as the blade seemed to struggle from the off.
A nice post shave routine saving the shave.
Stay safe & Enjoy the weekend All
 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RUSS !!!

 
¡feliz cumpleaños! amigo. I.
 
Saturday

Palmolive stick
PAA Rocket 26mm synth
Face lather
Ever Ready 1912 ‘Streamline‘
Gem SS PTFE
Thayer's Lavender and Aloe Vera
Fine Snake Bite after shave

I'm glad I got a few of the Palmolive sticks before production stopped. Should I ever have grandchildren, their shaving needs will be off to a flying start, soap-wise. As we know (for those that agree, that is), it is a great soap.

I got an excellent shave from the Streamline this morning; really close. Actually, maybe the Snake Bite was a minor miscalculation (masochist? moi?) given the closeness. But, a lovely cool post-shave feel has descended.

 
Many happy returns, Russ.

Soap - Cyril R Salter solid shaving soap
Brush - Shavemac 2band silvertip fan
