Shave of the Week Starting 7/17/2023

Gem razor
Gem Super Stainless blade
Burma Shave boar brush
Williams SS (vintage)
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
Various A/S

Decided to go old school this week. Found a handle for the Gem razor head I have had hanging around. Borrowed it from another Gem I have. Still need to get its own handle though. The Burma Shave boar brush whipped up nice lather from the vintage Williams SS. My, my, what a fine shave was had. My face is happy. Now go enjoy your day folks

Now that's a nice shave!  But I find the Ever~Ready version of that brush to be MUCH better.

PEP 105 

 
ETHOS ShaveMD hit the spot big-time for me today.  ShaveMD is, among other things, one of the tip-top most refreshing offerings among the contenders in my somewhat cluttered den.

Today's shave was also a delightful maiden voyage with a new to me Enders Speed Shaver.  For now, I'll skip the long story that preceded the happy ending, but suffice it to say first, that this is a beautiful marbled butterscotch example, which is not at all apparent in todays photo, and second, that along with the soap and brush, it delivered a smooth and totally bloodless BBS shave.  I was not expecting that, especially after having had to jump through a few hoops to get this particular Enders up and running.
