    Razor - 1959 (E1) Gillette Super Speed
    Blade - [​IMG] (1)
    Soap - Proraso Green Tub
    Brush - Stirling Two Band Synthetic
    Post - Alum

    Well, as the packing has picked up the pace I've got things in my den pretty well ready to go. I have my '59 Flare Super Speed left out along with the Stirling Two Band Synthetic brush, Proraso Green and Arko in a mug, and a few blades. I also have the Merkur 23C still out for my head shave this week. Tonight I loaded the SS with a Rapira Swede, broke out the Proraso and went to work. Proraso was my first soap when I started and it doesn't get much attention from me anymore. Kind of a shame since all it does is produce great lather and slickness and the menthol/eucalyptus is a nice touch.

    Three passes to a near-BBS and I'm going to do well for the next week and a half or so with this razor. It's foolproof so if my mind is wandering on other things I shouldn't cut my throat.

    I mentioned the mystery camera the other night. Lo and behold, my wife found the battery and charger and data cable for it while clearing out the top of the closet in our office. Naturally she'd find them today since I ordered them already and they're on their way. Oh well, two sets is better than one. The memory card on the camera is blank. So no clues as to where it came from. Today's picture is one I took with the camera just to try it out. I'm seeing possibilities.

    Superb shave today. I finished off my Chatillon Lux pre shave butter, over which River Rouge laid optimal lather. The Vision did it's job smoothly and comfortably, even after I dropped it. Luckily no damage was done. WSP tobacco splash rounded things out quite nicely. My nose is stuffy, so I could not tell if the pairing was good, but it sure feels great.

    Rating: 5 / 5

    Razor: Merkur Vision
    Blade: Personna Platinum
    Brush: Brothers Bristles Silver Surfer

    Supply Provision
    Personna Injector
    CWR
    Thayer's Lemon WH
    Vegetal

    I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Tabac Shaving Soap face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #266 synthetic brush. I did two passes with the Supply Provision Injector Razor using a Personna Injector blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Vegetal AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Another very nice, although sort of rushed shave which still turned out BBS. The Super Max Menthol cream performed very well for me and its mild menthol effect felt good. The Frostbite aftershave felt heavenly.

    Enjoy your day, folks!
