Cold Water Rinse
Proraso Green Shave Soap
Jayaruh #414 Silvertip Badger
GEM Damaskeene
Personna GEM SS PTFE

Osage Rub

The Proraso Green Shave Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #414 Silvertip Badger. Two passes and touch ups with the GEM Damaskeene with a Personna GEM SS PTFE gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Osage Rub. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

The Box, Razor and blade cleaned up nicely at the weekend and i knew it was going to get another run out this week.
I gently removed the inner parts of the box and gently brushed them clean, i fitted a felt hinge cover using twin-stick tape then placed everything back again with twin-stick tape (all reversible if needed). The felt may be a bit heavy, i will see if it settles. The blade and razor cleaned up well after an ultra sonic bath and polish.

A really nice shave today with this wonderful piece of Razor history .
BBS with a little indication from the splash and a massive smile on my face.
Stay safe and enjoy your day All

Menthol Micromatic Monday!
Cold Water Shave
Pre: Neutrogena Soap Face Wash, Noxzema Cream as PreShave
Razor: Gem Micromatic Open Comb (PIF from Dave in KY)
Blade: Gem SS PFTE (5)
Brush: Omega 10049 Pro Boar
Soap: Stirling Glacial Electric Sheep
Post: Osma Alum Block, T.N. Dickinson’s Witch Hazel, Osage Rub, Dollar Tree Power Stick Balm

Many thanks to Dave in KY for gifting me this mighty fine Micromatic Open Comb to shave with today! The current standard two and a half passes and I can say I've never had this close a shave with so little irritation! Just the aggressive look of this razor, for a noob like me, caused me to focus that much more and give it its due respect. A lot of blade feel for me, earned a few weepers. I'm going to need some more experience with this razor before I'm comfortable, but can see where it will be a joy to shave with!

The Stirling Glacial Electric Sheep soap is menthol on steroids! Almost makes my eyes water at first. And when I splashed my face after the first pass...burn, baby burn! It's a great soap though and I was attracted to it due to the mutton tallow, like MWF.
