Greetings,

Face & Head Shave.

A new shave set up to start the weekend.....Starting my SEptember with the Ever Ready 1912 (US) which was my first introduction to the wonderful world of vintage Ever Ready SE razors...Throughout the month i intend to add a mixture of SE & DE razors to my SOTD set ups.

All of my Ever Ready vintage SE razors are a pleasure to shave with, once you've adjusted to the required shaving angle training your mind to use good shaving technique these vintage ladies will reward you with some sublime shaves.

The solid design of these razors & the thickness of the Gem PTFE blade give them great rigidity keeping blade chatter under control which is wonderful especially for head shaving.

A enjoyable close comfortable BBS face & head shave with no errors to report.

Finishing to the shave off with a few small squirts of Blue Stratos EdT to the pulse points....My face and precious swede are both feeling silky smooth & smelling divine.;)

Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.:cool:

Prep: Shower, Palmolive Olive Oil Soap
Soap: Extro Cosmesi Barocco
Brush: 24mm Yaqi Chianti Tuxedo
Razor: Lord L6 head on Edward X Jacob barberpole handle
Blade: Gillette Super Blue(2)
Post: TDS Rose ASL, Baxter's Balm

First time with the Lord for a while, and it felt a fair bit more aggressive than the Merkur. Decent finish, but the Super Blue didn't feel suited to the razor. Or maybe it's just me. I'll run a milder blade through before making a final judgement.

SOTD 4th September.

Razor - Feather WS-D1
Blade - Souplex
Soap - Hampfat #2
Brush - Simpsons TR3

Seven days of stubble mowed down with the Feather WS-D1 paired with a Souplex blade, as smooth as smooth can be.
I like the clean fresh scent of the lavender and teatree essential oils in the Hampfat #2.
Feeling a little more human now!

Have yourselves a good weekend.

Paul.

Prep: Warm shower
Brush: Cadman 30mm Tuxedo
Soap: OSP Business Time
Razor: ATT G1
Blade: GEM PTFE (5)
Post: Cold Water and OSP Business Time

Have to say that was an exceptional smooth running razor. I had to check in the sink to make sure it was actually doing anything. Its reputation for being mild/<mild is well deserved. It did take a bit more effort to get a smooth finish and is definitely a 3 pass razor for me. It does not compare to the sabre or the micro/1912 in terms of efficiency or that blade feel that I like, but it gets the job done. All in all I'm pleased with the addition.

I will say I did fear for the razor though when doing the post shave clean, the plug was definitely in the sink when taking it apart, that hook is asking to be lost!

Hope everyone has a grand day!

Cheers

Marc

Prep: Shower with Baxter’s of California face scrub and PAA cube menthol.

Pre: PAA cube menthol.

Soap: Hampshire Shaving Soap No. 1.

Brush: ZENITH unbleached bristle chrome handle 2000 C XSE.

Razor: Futur Clone.

Blade: Rapira

Post: Alum Bart’s aftershave balm.

Another lovely weekend shave after being back at work this week. The original Hampshire lathered better, (or rather I did) than ever before with the Zenith boar brush creamy and voluminous which I don’t normally get from it. It was a great start to the weekend and the super post shave feel on this soap paired with the Bart’s has really made my face feel great!
Have a good weekend.
