Sunday Morning SE Salutations

Seventh shave on the GEM PTFE blade and out of all my modification solutions for my three Empires, the GEM has to be the best.  Smooth, comfortable and effective shave.

Three great Sunday shaves, if I say so myself! I love my Schick Sundays.

Yesterday's shave went exceptionally well. It's not much of a surprise since my Henkels Rapide is a wonderful shaver and this Wester Bro's looks extremely similar. I wouldn't be surprised if they were actually made by the same company and just rebranded. It held the modern Gem blade with no issues with no need for any shims or adapters. I'm so glad I was able to save it. I really wasn't sure I'd be able to with how badly some of the teeth were bent.

Monday Morning Modern Mania

Purchased the Hawk V3A used a few years ago for under $50.  One of the best modern AC razors for the price.  Modern razor but then I had to use a Vintage brush.  Little Rubberset is a grand painter or scrubber.  I'm so happy these vintage items come back and have a second life.

Shave of the Week Starting 29 January 2024

Shield Predator razor (Titanium)
Gem Stainless blade
Seaforth! Heather SS
AP Shave Co brush
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
Seaforth! Heather A/S Tonic

Mighty fine start to the week, no nicks/no cuts/no errors, so all is well. I've used the Shield Predator a bit and have to admit that its become my preferred SE. Feels great in hand, very comfortable to use and gives a right dandy shave. Anyway, my face is happy. Now go enjoy your day folks.
