Razor: Rolls Razor Imperial 2 Cream: Olivia Seife Bayrum Brush: Vie-Long 16728 Wring 2x. 1min42. 5 creamy pass. Rework 1st. Post-shave smooth I missed the exquisite scent of this Bayrum. I took sweet sweet time shaving. In hindsight I should have ordered lifetime supply of this along with few others.

Razor: Rolls Razor Cream: Olivia Seife Dark Rhassoul Brush: Vie-Long 16728 Wring 2x. 3min. 5 creamy pass. Dark Rhassoul was very dense. Needed a little more work for sustainable lather. Post-shave smooth.

Razor: Rolls Razor Imperial 2 Soap: Williams Mug Brush: Vie-Long 16728 Shake 3x. Within 30sec explosion. 1min20. 5 pass. Been awhile since I've used this. Performance hasn't failed me yet. The Marvy William prior however was quite a feat same procedure but to no avail. Meringue-like lather. Attempted palm lather no luck either and opted for Williams.

- Prep: Noxzema Skin Cleansing Cream & Hot Towel
- Brush: Knotty Roddy Chubby 2 Refurb with TGN Silvertip Badger
- Cream: C&E Sienna
- Razor: '09 Burham SE
- Blade: Ted Pella PTFE coated GEM SE (shave 7)
- Oil Pass: Leisureguy's Last-Pass Shave Oil
- A/S: Thayer's Rose Petal Witch Hazel Toner & C&E Sienna ASB
- EDT: C&E Sienna EDT
- Result: Nice DFS today. The blade was on its last shave and the Burham was a bit of technique problem. Just very light weight razor and I had not used it in quite awhile. Need to do some buffing and almost got BBS.

Razor: Rolls Razor Soap: VDH Deluxe Brush: Vie-Long 16728 Wring 2x. 30sec. 1min35. 3 pass. Little airy 2nd pass. This is one of shaves I think that wasn't as good as I had before with VDH. Shave could be better a little stubble but there's always tomorrow. I'm sure it's me.

Starting to get used to the Jr. A little different than the 1912. I think I'm really liking it.

I believe it is called "The Parade". It has a 6 sided brass handle and a gold head. As long as I use a decent blade, it's a very close, smooth, and forgiving shave. You folks were right.
