  • Prep: Hot shower, California Baby face wash, cork & hand strop blade
  • Lather: Real Shaving Co. Sensitive
  • Brush: Frank Shaving Fine Badger
  • Razor: Ever Ready 1924
  • Blade: Walgreen's Gem (1), 2 passes
  • Post: WH + alum splash, Aqua-Velva Ice Blue, hand strop blade
  • Cold water shave
My 2nd shave with the '24 and I must say this razor devours facial hair. I may have to reserve this razor for when I have at least 2 days worth of growth as the amount of blade showing here really makes for a close shave. I definitely could not use this as my daily razor, but when there's a jungle that needs de-foresting then the '24 will be battling with the OCMM for that honor and privilege. I'm not sure if it's the shorter handle or not, but I feel like I can control the OCMM better. So maybe just some more practice with the '24 will allow me to wield it more frequently. Due to user error I did get a pretty good nick on the very bottom of my nose, but the rest of the shave was just super close and amazingly comfortable.

My first shave with the CP in a long time and I have to thank Jeff for inspiring me to get back to it sooner rather than later. What a comfortable and close shave. I had a very close shave yesterday with my Ever Ready 1924, so much so that I thought about not shaving today. But then I saw the CP and I went to work on an easy 1 pass + touch-up for another DFS with zero irritation.

Strangely, today's shave was less than stellar. I suspect a bad blade. I would rate it as an SAS...Socially Acceptable Shave.

I've seen some people use the SAS abbreviation as Smooth As Silk.
