Menthol Monday's  Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Fine Snake Bite Shave Soap
Jayaruh 424 Synthetic
Unmentionable Razor
Unmentionable Blade
CWR
Osage Rub

The Fine Snake Bite Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh 424 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Unmentionable Razor and an Unmentionable Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Osage Rub. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

I had to say goodbye to my cat Peanut the other day.  He was 16 years old.  Had him since he was a baby.  He stopped eating.  Tried a lot of different things at the vet, but he still wouldn't eat.

Yesterday I went to check on the owner of my favorite local antique shop, he's been having some health issues. When we got done talking he said he had a couple of razors in for me and to my shock one of them was a lather catcher! It's in a lot better shape than my other one, it also has the strop attachment in the handle which is neat. I noticed the bar is a little bent, but with modern gem blade everything looks good. Also I've been calling these a model 1901 which I realize is wrong. Are these later gem Junior bars? And is there any way to date these.

  Another travel kit shave...
Posted by: Wchnu - 03-08-2024, 09:38 AM - Forum: GEM - No Replies

The G3 with some VDH an Omega travel boar and Ice Blue. Easy and gives an outstanding shave. Does anyone else have a dedicated travel setup?

  Vintage pipes.
Posted by: Wchnu - 02-25-2024, 02:10 AM - Forum: Smoker's Corner and The Pub - Replies (14)

I am curious as to thoughts on vintage pipes. It does not freak me out to buy and use a pipe that someone smoked before. I clean them good and keep on.  This meerschaum is an example. It was obviously  favorite of someone in the past. It is going to be among my favorites.

  Auto Strop as razor for WW2 military soldier
Posted by: Rocketman - 02-15-2024, 04:45 AM - Forum: Auto Strop (Valet) - Replies (9)

This was an unexpected photo coming across a WW2 UK military field kit with a Valet Razor. I guess there was no worry about needing blades. I haven’t thought of this razor as a second WW razor before. Do now! 

This photo will likely be cropped a bit as it is settles in here, but this is  from the British Imperial Museum 2nd WW Collection. Guess the model?
