Thursday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
ARKO Shaving Soap
Jayaruh #1 silvertip
Micromatic BT
Personna GEM SS PTFE
CWR
Aqua Velva Musk

The ARKO Shaving Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #1 silvertip brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Micromatic BT razor with a Personna GEM SS PTFE blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Aqua Velva Musk AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Williams Wednesday's Shave
Anniversary Shave (47 Years)

Micromatic CP

1. It's vintage (1926-1927) with an interesting history, thanks to Lt. Colonel Schick and his penchant for the repeating rifle.
   
   
2. It's cool looking. Folding head and a top cap, the whole thing is made for travel, but has a nice substantial feel in the hand. The body appears to be aluminium, but the head is brass -- the whole thing is built well and very classy looking (IMO).
   
   
3. It shaves REALLY well. It balances efficiency and comfort, and it manages to do so without really sacrificing one over the other. If I could have ONLY one Schick -- well, lets be honest, I'm NEVER going to have ONLY one Schick -- but this one is definitely in the Top 3.

The blade was sort-of injected (Proline B-20 blade inserted with a pair of needle nose pliers).  The soap was Valobra Fougere, lathered with a Yaqi Timberwolf.

A 3-pass DFS+ with no touch-ups required, no blood and no irritation. This razor really rings all 3 bells for me:

I'm posting a pic with the cap on (which you rarely see in SOTD pics).....



And with the cap off and the head in the "shave ready" position:
