I hadn't used the 1914 for ages, I had forgotten how nice it was.
I put a flat top in this brush ages ago, I really should have set it lower for a little more backbone. Still, not as bad as it might have been and good with a shave stick.

16/05/20
Pre: Shower
Brush: Alpha Outlaw Titanium G4 Synth
Soap: 1912 Irish Fern
Razor: Supply V2 Custom 2 dot
Blade: Personna Injector (6)
Post shave: Cold water splash, EO infused Witch Hazel
Balm: Floïd Balm
Aftershave: Floïd SE Mentolado Vigaroso


3 Passes for a DFS result today, the 2 dot plate requires a little work to achieve BBS for me, however, initially i found the 3 Dot plate a tad too much, i may have to give it another spin.
I still enjoyed the shave and it was very relaxing, at no time do you feel as if the razor is going to bite.
A great face lather today with the 1912/Alpha Ti Synth combo finishing with the Floïd post shave routine.
A late Post as i have been on Hairdressing duties for Mrs TC, she is very happy with her new colour, i also quite like it.
I may have given myself a new regular job here .
Stay safe and enjoy the rest of your day.

Lather Catcher Sunday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Mitchell's Wool Fat Shave Soap
Tom's B-400 Two-band Badger

Aqua Velva Musk

The Mitchell's Wool Fat Shave Soap face-lathered well with my Tom's B-400 Two-band Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Superior Lather Catcher with a Gem Blue Star 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...

Razor: Supply V2 Custom 3 dot
Blade: Personna Injector (7)
Post shave: Alum Block, Cold water splash, EO infused Witch Hazel

I swapped out the #2 plate for the #3 and was rewarded with a very smooth close shave, obviously my technique has improved and the Supply now delivers a shave on par with the Vintage injectors i have.
A nice face lather today with the Alpha Ti G4 working very well.
A nice post shave leaving me soft supple BBS and smelling real good.
Stay safe and enjoy your day All

Monday's Shave

First shave with the new (to me) Schick Type L razor. Primary impression is a good one, with the razor providing a very mild but efficient shave. The razor felt slightly tuggy at times, so it could be a dud new blade or will work better with a slicker soap.

I'm a fan of the Original Skin Bracer, wife likes it on me too!

I'll have to recreate the picture if anyone cares. I forgot to take a picture without an unmentionable I'm testing out for a week. The mentionable part of the shave was courtesy of a Gem MMOC with 3rd use Pal carbon blade.
The soap was a blend of Cyril R Salter wild rose and a little Cela whipped up with my SHD two band badger. It was a great relaxing 10pm shave.
