Vintage soap? Yup, Williams from the '50's or '60's. Good stuff and if someone duplicated it, I'd stock up. Warmed up my big boar in the 5" textured ceramic bowl, while applying hot wet towel, followed by PS oil. Couple swipes of the soap stick on the moisten bowl and lathered up for a relaxing no drama session with a my Whipped Dog. No DE touch up - I knocked of the training wheels. No nicks and the alum was sting free. Menthol Monday cooling from Aqua Velva for a nice finish.
Good evening Folks!

 

Thank you kind sir!

Many thanks for your kind words gentlemen!

Wonderful 2-pass shave with a few touchups under the chin. Love the smoothness of the 102 slant and the Ginger's Garden Suede soap and aftershave are top of the line performers ... the scent is fabulous!

HAVE A GREAT DAY!​

Good morning guys. This morning I tried Aveeno as a pre shave just for the sake of experimentation... It's not my favorite! It provides slickness but little else and clogged my razor constantly. Still a great shave was had, Arko provided plenty of cushiony, slick, protective lather and smells nice to boot. Stirling Mita is a fine way to finish any shave and feels nice and icey. I have really started to love this Semogue 620 it's just perfect for my face lathering needs and splays beautifully. Have a great shave and a great day friends.

 

WOW now that's a handle !!

Everything else came together for a BBS finish!!

What a difference a blade makes! I used a Gem PFTE blade in my OCMM for the first time, and I'm sold. I won't use any other SE blade. (Shout out to Bullgoose Shaving for super fast and inexpensive shipping! I ordered Saturday and got them Monday). The shave was effortless, thanks to optimal Tabac lather and this smooth coated blade. I did get a couple weepers as I work on my SE technique. Otherwise, my face feels nearly BBS. Tabac aftershave is calming - more than I expected.

I noticed clogging with Aveeno, too. Same thing with Cremo used as pre for me.
