This was an absolutely spectacular shave. Both razors performed exceptionally, the lather was glorious, the brush is superb, the copper bowl is always a pleasure to use and the aftershave is phenomenal. I've wanted both of these razors for 10+ years. It was awesome to finally add them to my collection and to get to shave with them both for the first time. The adapter I made for the Torrey worked perfectly.

Thursday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
LaToja Shaving Stick
Semogue 1305 boar
Gillette Techmatic
Techmatic Band
CWR
Aqua Velva Musk

The LaToja Shaving Stick lathered well with the Semogue 1305 boar Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette Techmatic Razor and the Techmatic Band blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Aqua Velva Musk After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Thursday Morning Shave Experimentation

Came across a post on B&B yesterday about using a modified SHADE (kind of) in a GEM Jr.
So in the name of Science I felt obliged to attempt it.  It actually worked beautifully.
The real question we need to ask is just because you can - why should you?  LOL

GEM Junior - Black Handle
SHADE - Modified
Proraso Blue Shave Cream
Ever-Ready H40 Vintage Boar Brush
Apex Alchemy Splash Mix
Pinaud Citrus Musk Aftershave

Friday Morning Lime & Lemon Feast

I really like this Enders with an Injector Blade.  It's a better shave than some of my actual Injectors.
Also getting to like the Taconic Lime - it's a glycerine puck and I just used it like a shave stick.
Rubbed it on the face and BAM the little Rubberset whipped up a great face lather.

Enders Speed Razor
Personna Injector Blade (5X)
Taconic Shave Lime Puck
Rubberset No. 89 Vintage Brush
Aqua Velva Musk Splash
Myrsol Agua de Limon Aftershave
