Menthol Monday's Cold Water Shave
First Shave of 2024
Cold Water Rinse
Tabac Shave Soap
Semogue Owners Club Boar
SlimGem 3D Injector Razor
Personna Injector Blade
CWR
Tabac After Shave
The Proraso Green Shave Soap lathered well with the Semogue Owners Club Boar Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the SlimGem 3D Injector Razor and a Personna Injector Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Osage Rub. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Todays shave is a flashback to how I shaved in the past. For most of my years it would have been one pass WTG with the Schick injector razor pictured, Gillette Foamy and finished with Aspen aftershave. I always liked Skin Bracer and would use it off and on. Later on I used Neutrogena brushless shave cream. I don't have that or Foamy, so I have substituted Proraso and used my hands to apply it to my face. It's hard to believe this is what I though of as a good shave!
Happy New Year to all and I wish you good health and prosperity in 2024!

Wednesday Morning Extravaganza
I think I finally figured out the Enders enigma. The Supply Black Injector blade definitely helped.
But it's the angle. Really weird angle where you bring the bottom of the razor handle in towards the face.
This was a really smooth & efficient shave but every stroke I had to remind myself of the angle.
