Excellent Chris!

 

Thank you. Have a great day.

 

Good for you.

 

Beautiful Avatar (granddaughter?) Bill.

 

Prep - Woods Of Windsor Cedar Woods soap / Pre-lather / 3 min steam
Razor - Ever Ready 1912 Peerless
Blade - Personna GEM SE Stainless
Brush - Shavemac Raptor 26/52 DO1 3 Band Bulb
Soap - Phoenix & Beau Sanskrit
After - Frozen towel / Brut Original A/S
Result - Dolphin Smooth

Ahhh.....feels good to be home again. The noise of a 1912 scything through the stubble, I've missed it so much.
After years of looking longingly at the brushes adorning many a SOTD, and thanks to Nishy and TSR, I now have a brush worthy of the shaves I enjoy, a work of art with a proper workhorse of a knot. Partnered with P&B, it's the best lather I've ever enjoyed. The post shave feel is sublime, definitely one of the top soaps in production today. Shaves just don't come much better than this.

 

Thank you.

 

GREAT grandaughter, and she is a real handful, according to her parents.

Hey! You stole my bowl. Almost. The rest looks nice too. Very good.

Even better.

 

That is a really good layout, you got there, Primo. Kudos!

Razor: Gillette Ball End Tech NDC (declared 1947) Birth Year
Brush: Whipped Dog 30/45 Silvertip 2014
Mug: Old Spice Hull Pottery Mug 01 1938 - 1944 the first mug
Cream: TOBS Coconut cream
Blade: Feather (2)
Post shave: Thayers Cucumber WH, Jack Black Balm, Old Spice original Shulton 1973 glass cologne Stopper #3

This Old Spice Hull Pottery Mug is one of my prized mugs, being the first OS mug. The difference between the 01 and 02 mug is the ship name, 01 having "Grand Turk" and the 02 having "Frienship". My Gillette Tech is a great razor, and it is a nice mild razor for me even with a Feather blade. Nice lather from the TOBS and the Silvertip to get off to a good start. Very nice two pass shave with some touchup, smooth. Warm water rinse and pat dry. Some WH and after cleanup some JB Balm and then some Old Spice original Shulton 1973 cologne. Nice! Y'all have a good one!

 

Beautiful setup, and nice photo

 

Thanks gentlemen!

 

I love seeing all the Old Spice gear! Good Stuff!
