Menthol (WS-23) Micromatic Monday
Monday August 30, 2021
Razor: Bumpless Micromatic
Blade: Gem SS (1)
Brush: Stuart/Timberwolf
Soap: A&E NYC
AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
AS 2: A&E NYC Splash
Fragrance: n/a
Consecutive Daily Shaves - # 1027
So a touch of WS-23 Cooling powder was added to the A&E NYC to give it that Menthol freeze. I must remember that a little goes a long way with this stuff. GREAT Micromatic shave. This one is missing the bumps on the baseplate top for those that see a difference in the 2. All I know is it gives an amazing shave. Not sure I see a difference when I use the other one I have or not. Hope all in the way of Ida are weathering things well and are safe. Have a great Monday Everyone !

The Gem Featherweight Deluxe is a fantastic mild yet efficient razor. And I love the scent and performance of the Novelist.

Menthol Monday's Shave
Cold Water Rinse
Eskimo Tuxedo Shave Soap
Jayaruh #426
Gillette Twinjector
Personna Injector
CWR
Osage Rub
The Eskimo Tuxedo Shave Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #426 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette Twinjector with a Personna Injector 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 know that the Gillette Twinjector came with the Twin injector blades, and I have some, but I use regular injector blades in it. I had forgotten how smoothly this razor shaves. It handles like a sports car. It is nimble and efficient. It will be up through Saturday this week.
