Greetings,
A new shave set up to start the weekend...
Face Shave & Head Shave.
Yet again another enjoyable effortless 3 pass + pick ups BBS shave with no errors to report. The MWF, ER razor & Gem PTFE blade worked together superbly. A very comfortable head and face shave.
I keep yarping on how the Ever Ready SE razors are amazingly smooth & efficient, which i highly recommend every traditional wet shaver to shave with one if giving the opportunity to do so.
A effortless superb BBS shave...It's near the end of the month again for my head shave,my previous head shave was with the Ever ready 1924, so for my 'Christmas head shave of 2018 i've used the 1912 (USA) which i've mentioned before was kindly gifted to me by fellow member @patw , if it wasn't for him i wouldn't have been introduced to the wonderful world of Vintage Single Edge Razors..The verdict.?
As with all my monthly head shaves i started with a weekly 'No Guard' buzz cut with my wahl hair clippers had a shower, bloomed the MWF in warm water for 5 minutes , then wet my head with the left over bloom water,from my face shave then rubbed the MWF into my head like a shave stick then created a wonderful slick protective lather, adding water to the tips of the brush inbetween each pass.. The E.R. 1912 cut through my remaining hair follicles with ease, after 2 wtg passes + atg & pick up pass my precious Swede was dolphin smooth with no irritation or errors.
Thank you yet again pat, for the introduction to vintage Ever Ready Single Edge razors ,which have been my traditional wet shaving pleasurable experience of 2018..A awesome pleasure.
Another 3 pass + pick ups BBS shave with no errors to report.
Finishing the shave off with a generous Splash of Superdrug ~ Sierran Breeze ASL.
My face & head are feeling smooth, & smelling devine.
Enjoy the start of the weekend, ladies & gentlemen.

All going well this is the start of a well earned break (if I don't say so myself!). I had a good few days growth this morning and really took my time to unwind and try for a great shave. I'm so looking forward to this time off.
The result......worth every second!
Recently I've been cutting corners, mostly due to work taking over and having to rush out at times. When at home I've only really had time to say hello to the Missus and kids then head straight to bed. I've missed out steps here and there - giving my face a good scrub or using pre-shaves. This hasn't had much of an impact of the final result, other than I just don't feel as pampered as usual...it's probably just in my mind, but I notice these silly wee things
Today I took my time with everything. I had a 3 pass shave without incident, which in my book is a great shave! I used Cyril R Salter Solid Shaving Soap for the first time and it gave a nice smooth feel. Thanks to @Blackmass yet again! [emoji1303] a nice clean scent which had me enjoying myself.
Finishing off with the Extro Mare aftershave, Barts Balm and Next Nuit EdT has me grinning from ear to ear. Smoother than glass!
Talking of which....cheers to everyone here! Hope you have a great weekend prior to Christmas and Santa brings you all some super sharp presents!
Enjoy folks!
