SoS: December 12, 2016 - December 18, 2016

Hello all, here's tonight's SOTD-

English Gillette #77 set RFB New.
1940 Gillette Blue Blade.
Simpsons Duke II pure badger brush.
Trumpers GFT shave cream.
Nivea post shave balm.
Avon Mesmerize as lotion.
Avon Mesmerize cologne.



I had an outstanding two pass BBS/DFS with this set up tonight. This razor is an excellent performer. I really enjoy using it. I obtained it in a trade a year or so ago from a good friend. I already had the case from s prior purchase, so I made this into a set. I have been told these green Bakelite cases were intended for the French market, but it does not have the "Importe D Le Angngletair " markings on the case. ( please forgive my poor spelling of the French language. ).
At any rate it is a fine set and a great shaver. Thanks for your interest , God Bless, and have a great day!

Sunday's


Dove Men Face Wash
Arko Shaving Stick
Jayaruh #139
Gillette Slim H1
Personna Super
CWR, Asma Alum Block
T.N. Dickinson's WH
Barbasol Brisk AS

Another left-handed shave.

The Arko Shaving Stick face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #139 silvertip badger brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette Slim H1 with a Personna Super blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse and alum block, I finished off with T.N. Dickinson's WH and then Barbasol Brisk After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Thank you Can, have a great day buddy!

 

Beautiful razor.

 

Prep - Noxzema / Hot towel
Pre shave - Proraso
Razor – Barbaros TR-1
Blade – Permasharp
Brush - The 'Americana' (Shavemac 24/48 D01 2 Band)
Soap – Tallow+Steel – Classic
Post - Witch Hazel, Trevarno Revitalising Face Oil

well, that was a bit of a surprise.... I usually find the Barbaros to be on the aggressive side, but with the Permasharp I really had to work to get a BBS finish. No, I can't make sense of it either, but it's not a combination that I'll be in hurry to try again..But, on a good note, the 'Americana'/Tallow+Steel combo was impeccable..

 

Excellent setup with a beautiful brush.

 

Thank you Doug.

 

Thank you! Yes, Rogue One was very well done. My only objection was

Show Spoiler Hide Spoiler

when they attempted to animate Leia. They missed the mark and it was unnecessary. They did a fair job animating Tarkin, but they revisited him too much and the flaws became apparent.

Other than those detractions, it was a stellar movie and the space fighting was greatly enhanced with an IMAX 3D viewing.

*After reading a recent thread I decided to have a go with the towels. I need a 2 towel steamer in my life and Mrs Sid James says I'm a tart.

 

Thanks for the kind words!
