TNNSER-3D, Black
Gem S/S [ 5 ]
P & B Spitfire A/S Splash.

Did a repeat TNNSER Shave today, to see if any difference between them.The Clear one used yesterday was from a commercial run, organised by Andreas aka riverrun who assembled and distributed them. The one used today being gifted to me by Arthur @Electrif whose clever son made it.
Shave wise I cannot feel any difference, both provide great Shaves up there with the best I get with my Favourites, though a bit more forgiving than a Streamline/ !924.If you can find a source of manufacture at reasonable cost, theTNNSER-3D is a must for those who like SEs that use a Gem Blade.

Thank you Wim,

I'm glad to be back home. Always have a hard time getting a good night's sleep in a hotel room.

Like the looks of that Parker Variant and as always, your choice in pastries is excellent.

Excellent shave this morning. Tried starting with the Imperial, but it was a no go with the same issues as yesterday. It must be my well water. I spent 5 minutes attempting a bowl lather, but the result was a thin wispy lather that kept fading away. I even attempted using my MWF face and head lathering technique, but couldn’t build up a thick enough paste. So out came the MWF, and the new brush from Evan (@MrEE), which by the way worked fantastically well with the the MWF.

I grabbed my Colonial Silversmith which has been sadly neglected and loaded a Vintage Polish Wizamet Super Iridium Blade. Then a brisk cold water rinse followed by a thick, yogurty lather applied with my new hybrid Badger/boar brush. This razor never ceases to amaze me with its seeming mildness coupled with such high efficiency.

That first WTG pass left me at the DFS+ level, and the second ATG pass was all that was necessary for a lovely, bloodless BBS shave. I feel clean, smooth, refreshed and ready for church. I wish everyone an amazing day!

RAZOR: Colonial Silversmith
BLADE: Vintage Polish Wizamet Super Iridium
PREP: Cold water rinse
BRUSH: MrEE 007 Badger/Boar
SOAP: Mitchell’s Wool Fat
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by Thayers Lavender WH and finished with A&E Post-Shave Serum
