Shave of the day 20th December 2021
Razor: Tatara Masamune
Blade: “Normal”
Brush: Wilkinson Sword Badger
Pre-Shave: Proraso Pre Shave Cream
Lather: Asylum Shave Works Flying Mango
Aftershave: Epsilon for Men Scottish Spirit
Additional Care: Alum Block
Blade was either a dud or too sharp to work well in the Masamune. Hard to tell which; either way I’ll put in a new blade for the next shave. On the upside the Epsilon for Men balm seems to calm my skin down a fair bit.

Razor: “Normal”
Blade: Treet Platinum
Pre-Shave: Proraso Pre Shave Cream
Lather: Epsilon for Men Mediterranean Shave Gel
Aftershave: Epsilon for Men Mediterranean After Shave
Additional Care: Alum Block
The Epsilon shave gel smells nice. Okay cushion for a non-lathering shaving agent. No slip at all though, resulting in more than a few tiny skin breaks. Nothing big enough to be a weeper, but more than noticeable enough when putting alcohol based aftershave on.

…Schick is to blame!
The box, and the details of the razor, indicates to me that this is what today is referred to as a Schick Type E1. A steal at 2 US dollars, even if that today equals a little under 40 dollars. Given that the E-type razors still holds up – my E2 is from 1941 – and shaves great, I can see why Santa might get tempted to change his looks.
