Due to the Loaner from a good friend my 4 for Feb became 5, after the razor went back home i pondered and pondered then succumbed, So a new one is now in the stable sporting the HD handle, thank you Dave @shavingtime (and the "friend" for some top enabling) for a very quick service. I really like it with this handle, it does seem more balanced.
So, a face-full of soft Badger, 2 passes and a little touch up on the devils whirlpools for a comfortable BBS finish.
I really am enjoying these Bay Rum themed shaves and Arthurs splash is really adding to the experience. Surely though the next shave will see the splash to an end. 
Stay safe and enjoy your day All.

Well I just couldn't decide. Then I did decide, on both. These two razors are near opposite ends of the Gems age spectrum. At first I thought this was going to be an Odd Couple pairing of razors but I was surprised how good these two look together.
I used the Gem Junior Bar on the front of my neck and on my beard line and the Push Button on the back of my neck. This turned out to be a very close enjoyable shave.
Very, very beautiful old razor. I’m definately keeping my an eye out for one!

I see you are running a bit low on Tabac there, hehe. Good shave, though!
There are just to many great things going on here. This reminds me of my grandad teaching me how to do things on the farm and out hunting/fishing. Your son shows confidence in both his ability and your teaching. We say over and over that shaving with a SE is just easy and natural. This video proves that once again. Just outstanding all the way around!!
Happy shaves to ya!

Thursday's Shave
![[Image: zcws.jpg]](https://i.postimg.cc/905gwjZc/zcws.jpg)
Cold Water Rinse
Colgate Mug Shave Soap
Jayaruh #47
AutoStrop VB1
Feather FHS-10
CWR
Granddad's Blend AS
The Colgate Mug Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #47 brush. Two passes and touch ups with the AutoStrop VB1 razor with a Feather FHS-10 blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Granddad's Blend AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

How good is the Razorock ECO? Seems like you shave with it very often. Williams is my number one soap and it is cheap.
