Menthol Monday's Shave
[Image: cws.png]

Cold Water Rinse
Tea Tree Body Bar
Jayaruh #395 2-band Badger
3D TNNSER
GEM/Star Duridium SE
CWR
Osage Rub

The Tea Tree Body Bar Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #395 2-band badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the 3D TNNSER razor with a GEM/Star Duridium SE blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Osage Rub. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

The Duridium blade is not made for shaving. It was tuggy, but I did get a good close shave.

Jim, I am sorry the blade didn't work for you. When I bought them, I knew nothing about them except that they were inexpensive and I thought they were some vintage blade that might be a good one. Apparently not. 
So, out of the 120 blades I received in the case, I gave 20 to you and I've only used 2 blades with similar results to yours. Now I have 98 more blades that will find use as box cutter blades and paint scrapers...

I'll use them in this below...

Micromatic
Personna injector blade
Ever Ready boar
Tabac
Stirling, Baker Street

   

I don't really think the Micromatics need improving but since I had seen others using an injector blade I thought I would give it a go. It works surprisingly well and a very close smooth shave was had.
