Monday shave a day late as usual. I moved the Feather SE from one valet to another. I do not know model number well but I think the one I used yesterday was a Model C. It does not have the cut outs for the valet name.

Hmmmm.. shave quality is dropping off with the Roll's rapidly. I got an excellent shave on Monday after the Sunday rehone to avoid rust detail. However, it has been fading fast and now I have a little irritation on my neck. I wonder if the strop isn't working up to snuff. Time to add some glove oil to the leather.

GEM G-bar
TREET blade
KMF lavendar and shea
Omega badger brush
Aqua Velva

First shave with a non Personna/GEM blade and I got to say I'm impressed with the TREET blade. It felt sharper and/or smoother than the Personna. I wiped it on a towel and dipped it in alcohol to make sure it was dry when I was done. I'm curious to see how it does tomorrow or Friday.

Thursday Night:

GEM G-bar razor
Treet Super Single Edge blade (carbon steel)

Semogue 1305 boar brush
Cella soft shaving soap

Thayer's Peach Witch Hazel (Astringent: 10% alcohol, no -parabens, no burn)


I definitely prefer the Treet and GEM Blue Star carbon steel blades to the PAL carbons. I can't imagine why, with all being made by ASR, but the Treets and Blue Stars seem sharper to me.
