Thursday Morning Shave Resolution
I just cannot give up on this freaking Enders. I cut down an unmentionable blade (Subie Method)
and fitted it into the Enders. SUCCESS!! It was easier to fiddle with than the Injector blade I was trying. And who cares if you waste a bunch of unmentionables. On a side note, there's nothing better than a good shave stick and this Green Label does the job. Plenty of lather from one application to go three passes and a face wash.

Friday's Cold Water Shave
Cold Water Rinse
Derby Shave Stick
Jayaruh #71 Synthetic
Ever-Ready 1924
Personna GEM SS PTFE
CWR
Duru Cologne
The Derby Shave Stick lathered well with the Jayaruh #71 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Ever-Ready 1924 Razor and a Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Duru Cologne. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Fiasco meaning it was a quick shave. And it rhymed LOL Had an early eye appointment this morning. Macular Degeneration but under control via injection. My Dad used to tell me " Son, don't get old" LOL

Saturday Morning Tonsure Celebration
Back to an old favorite which was one of my first Valet razors. After seven shaves, the GEM blade is still smooth & efficient as ever. Just a great shave !! Roma brush is new to me and it's just a BANGER.
