Menthol Monday's Shave
[Image: cws.png]

Cold Water Rinse
Tea Tree Body Bar
Jayaruh #340 Badger
Triceratops
Personna GEM SS PTFE
CWR
Osage Rub

The Tea Tree Body Bar face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #340 Badger. Two passes and touch ups with the Triceratops with a Personna GEM SS PTFE blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Osage Rub. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

1st use of a GEM Carbon Steel blade, verdict - - Meh!, no where near as smooth as a Stainless Gem, sort of reminds me of a Polsilver SI, it works very well, however, it just does not feel right during the shave, saying that, i am BBS and comfortable from 3 very easy passes with the MM today.
The highlight today was the post shave splash from Arthur Electrif , a very nice version of Bay Rum and much better than my own. Sadly i only have about 2 shaves worth left.
Stay safe and enjoy your day All.

I had a quick but wonderful 1 pass cleanup with the Gem Junior Bar. This is a truly superb razor. I also broke open a new tub of Mer Shavings Orange Fougere donkey's milk soap. This soap has an intoxicating aroma. I will have to use this sparingly enough to make it last a long time. I believe he isn't going to make this one anymore. Luckily he makes plenty of other wonderful soaps.

Great pics. Love the look of that razor.

Tabac Tuesday's Shave
[Image: cws.png]

Cold Water Rinse
Tabac Shave Soap
Jayaruh #340 Badger
Triceratops
Personna Supply Injector
CWR
Tabac ASB

I discovered that the Triceratops will take an injector blade. This is my first shave with the injector blade. The Tabac Shave Soap face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #340 Badger. Two passes and touch ups with the Triceratops with a Personna Supply Injector blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Tabac ASB. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

The injector blade worked great with the Triceratops.
