Crown & Crane Thuringian Forest today. 20 seconds to load the HFD/TGN Silvertip. Easy, thick, slick, lather. I loaded a new Gillette “Spoiler” SS in the Maggard V2 OC. Excellent smooth, close shave. I finished with YSL M7 Oud Absolu EdT.

Sweet razor. If I had nerves of steel (and it had been a better price), I would have been tempted to get it.

Marvelous shave with the PAL Injecto-Matic this morning. Three passes for a dolphin smooth and refreshing finish. Enjoy your day friends.

The P&G Old Spice Classic aftershave, cologne, and deodorant smell like Old Spice but not in a real Old Spice way. The scent has definitely been changed for the worse and although I can still tolerate it once I finish these three items I'll never buy them again.

Not sure why things went so right but I'll take it, beautiful two pass BBS, best head shave ever with Mr C. Fresh Plus Platinum, LA Shaving Soap Topanga.

A Boker like this, if you search hard enough, can be had for about $100...

I think my 1941 Russian is my favorite razor. It certainly gave me a first class, top rate shave this morning. Just fabulous in every way. The new soap lathered really well, too. This is the first time I've tried Mike's Natural Soaps and I will be a repeat customer with the right scent. Wonderful morning all the way around.

What a fantastic shave today. I wasn't sure if I should use the blade as it had 5 shaves on it, but I have been getting great shaves from it. This shave was no exception! The shave felt so smooth, lol but I did catch my lip with the blade gap . In the end I'm bbs smooth and loving it! The aftershave found all the spots where I overshaved, but that's what happens when you get greedy..

 

You made me curious. I have two old bottles of Old Spice. I just checked. They are Shulton. I haven't tried a new one but I guess I am lucky to have these.
