  • Prep: Hot shower, California Baby face wash, hand strop blade
  • Lather: Real Shaving Co. Sensitive + glycerin
  • Brush: Frank Shaving Fine Badger
  • Razor: Ever Ready 1924
  • Blade: Walgreen's Gem (8), 2 passes
  • Post: WH + alum splash, Aqua-Velva Ice Blue, hand strop blade
  • Cold water shave
2 new things with this shave; my first shave with the Ever Ready '24 and the Real Shaving Co cream. I think the blade may be ending it's life as there was some tugging that I don't normally have and I doubt that it's from the razor or cream. So it went into the blade bank and I'll do the same setup for my shave tomorrow to really see. The '24, however, lived up to the hype when it comes to the sound it makes and the efficiency with which it cuts. What an enjoyable shave even with the slight tug noticed in my problem areas.
