I forgot that Al Sapone was from Razorock!

 

Deleted

 

I'm still trying to explain it to my wife.

 

Sunday Planned SOTD

Gem Micromatic Clog Pruf razor
Simpsons keyhole brush
Eufros by Jabonman Tobacco shaving soap
Barrister & Mann Cologne Russe aftershave

 

I'm fortunate as my wife got me into this hobby, buying me my first kit. I've had to play the "you got me into this" card a few times

 

Good to have that card to play.

 

Today's shave was with a Pre-Civil War razor, 1830-1837. Fantastically sharp and smooth.

Razor- Wade & Butcher
Brush- Vintage "Oceans" Boar. Made in Germany
Soap- Stirling Glastonbury
Aftershave- Shulton Old Spice

 

Very nice Old Spice decanter.

 

Thanks. I bought it a few years ago, just for the Old Spice Juice. I'm not into collecting decanters. One day, when I'm tired of looking at it, and after its empty, I will give it away.

 

What a picture - nice!

 

Chiseled Face - Pine Tar
Ever-Ready 100T | Elite Razor Manchurian
Ever-Ready SE | Gem PTFE (1)
Barrister's Reserve - Classic

Sunday Shower Plan

bodywash-Nivea 4 Men Max. Hydration*
deodorant soap-Dial 4 Men Odor Armor
shampoo-Clubman Country Club
deodorant(post-shave)-Mennen Speed Stick Power Fresh

*decided on the Max. Hydration instead of Energy, which you see in my Shave Plan

 

I have a number of Old Spice decanters. I sort of collect them. I prefer them in the original box.

 

The good old days-when it was called Old Spice, not "New Spice" of today

 

Well, you won't like hearing this, but I toss the boxes. I still have several NOS Shultons, in original boxes.

 

Tonights shower and shave
Hot shower prep with W.M. Newmam&Co peppermint body soap
Semouge 620
Taylor of Old Bond Street peppermint shave soap
Gold Dollar 6/8 full hollow round end
Gillette black handle superspeed (D2)
Astra sp (3)
Gold Bond body lotion
Tonight I used items gifted me by @John Beeman . The peppermint is very nice for the bath and shave. The Gold Dollar made me smooth as silk, cleaned up my sideburns with the Gillette. Finished the show with gold bond lotion, I'm smooth, comfy, and smell nicely minty.
Hope y'all did as well, or better.

 

Luxor Pro shavette
Shark Super Stainless blade (MUCH better than the Treet Platinum)
Maggards 22mm black synthetic brush
Nivea Sensitive shaving cream
Skin Bracer aftershave

Very brother!

 

First time out with the Filarmonica tonight and she was fine. A very nice balance of smooth and sharp. Granted she worked with 36 instead of 48 hours of stubble so the first pass was a little misleading but the alum told the tale at the end. Really close shave and mild noise from Osma. I'm liking this Filly.

Shavemac 2-Band Silvertip
