Tabac Tuesday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Tabac Shave Soap
Jayaruh #439 Synthetic
PAA Starling Open Comb
Personna GEM SS PTFE
CWR
Tabac After Shave

The Tabac Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #439 Synthetic brush. Two passes and touch ups with the PAA Starling Open Comb razor and a Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Tabac After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

I like my Starling too. Mine is the second version, yours looks to me like the first version. I find that the open comb gives a much less agressive shave than the sold bar plate.

Thanks for your input. I must switch to the solid bar plate for tomorrow's shave.

Williams Wednesday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Williams Mug Shaving Soap
Jayaruh #439 Synthetic
PAA Starling Safety Bar
Personna GEM SS PTFE
CWR
Florida Water

I don't remember this as the case, but Whiterook suggested that the solid bar plate was more aggressive. After yesterday's shave, I was all in to give it another go. I found the open comb to be rather mild. 

The Williams Mug Shaving Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #439 Synthetic brush. Two passes and touch ups with the PAA Starling razor with safety bar and a Personna GEM SS PTFE Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Florida Water. The safety bar maybe was a little bit more aggressive, and I got a closer shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
