SHAVE OF THE DAY


Prep: Musgo Real classic
Razor: Gillette ball end tech
Blade: Gillette Green
Brush: Maggard 26mm synthetic
Soap: Soap Smooth War Blend
Post: Clubman Vanilla, Stirling MITA Balm


Very nice shave this morning. Recieved this soap in the mail this morning from another recent shaving forum transaction. First off, this is the biggest widest soap tin I have ever seen, wider than the one HTGAM tin I came across. Super easy since plenty of room to load. Apparently this was a Limited Edition soap, but it has a clean cologne type of scent with a little menthol, not strong but just enough for it to be comfortable. Managed the 3rd pass with just the leftover slick lather. BBS but did feel a little burn, so decided to throw on a little balm in the evening. Still had a invigorating shave that was very enjoyable. Hope everyone feels the same way about your shave.

 

Jamie!

 

March Madness & Spring Cleaning!!

March 10

Razor - 1918 Gillette Old Style
Blade - (1)
Soap - Soap Commander Courage
Brush - BoS Omega 10066
Post - Alum, Nivea

Change of plans tonight for a couple of reasons. First of all, I'm tired. As in, I moved half of my showroom today to get some new beds on the floor and some of the floor models where I can sell them off. After wrestling with beds all day long I didn't think I had the focus to work a pain stick. Second, I received a package today from Charlie with some Russians he had decided not to try along with, as he put it, "a couple of tucks of Polsilvers". Well it's more than a couple and also includes two tucks of Perma Sharps...one of my favorite Gillette Russians. Thanks!!! Couldn't pass up the chance to use one of the blades he sent so I chose the Polsilver and, in keeping with the aggressive theme, I grabbed the 1918 Gillette Old Style.

Soap Commander and the BoS was an effortless lather. Slick as the ice we may have around here tomorrow and I was ready to go. Two full passes and a partial pass to finish the neck. I kept the '18 on the cap and had an excellent shave. The feel was awesome, the result is BBS and the alum was warm but not a problem. Definitely quieter than normal with this razor, but the blade had a lot to do with that as well. Really a fine shave overall and a nice relaxing way to unwind after a rather long and exhausting day.

Your weekend has arrived! Hope you have a great couple of days! Snow moving in tomorrow, at least enough to stick probably. Can't wait.

Saturday's are a no shave day for me. Sunday starts the shaving week. This week I'll be using my EJ DE89BL with a Shark blade.

 

That you are

 

Sat 11th March
Omega 11137 boar
Lea Classic soap
PAL Injecto-Matic
Schick S/S single [ 10-Japan ]
Alum Rub/ Rinse off
Lea Classic A/S lotion

I now know for sure why this PAL is in the top 3 of my favourite Vintage Injectors. Have just completed 10 shaves with this Razor/Blade combination, each one has been V. Good , and so smooth [ yes the PAL], the blade seems to have retained its edge so I may well have further Shaves with it. Am lucky to live in UK and have been able to get hold of different models of this highly under rated Razor.

 

Pre: dry skin
Soap: B&M Leviathan
Brush: PIF'ed Whipped dog 30mm
Razor: Muhle R41
Blade: Voshkod
Aftershave: Nivea + Clubman

... whoa! what a monster-brush! Haha. Perfect for bowl lathering up a storm, and will match perfect in the den with my semogue 620 that should be here any day now.

I had a grand old time lathering up and shaving with the MITA soap - wow, was it ever colder than hell especially during my second pass. The Rubby Dubby Doo was FRIGID when I slapped it on but it felt awesome. Mission accomplished - another super-duper BBS shave!

Have a great weekend!​

 

Razor: Trac II
Blade: Col. Conk Trac II (1)
Brush: Brass handle w/ Black Badger?
Soap: Captain's Choice Sandalwood
Aftershave: Captain's Choice Sandalwood

Now for something completely different. Picked up this razor and brush in a wooden box for $13.00. I don't know anything about them, but if I buy it I use it. The handle on the brush is very heavy and I believe it is brass. The knot is floppy and prickle. I believe it is a black badger. I did end up with a good shave.

 

SOTD: Early morning weekend shave; vintage Joseph Rodgers & Sons 6/8" custom; Martin de Candre 'Regular'-scented soap, TGN 24mm synthetic brush and Muelhens '4711' aftershave.Three passes, no complaints. Smooth & easy. Have a blessed Saturday, all!

 

Very nice. I shaved for a lot of years with a Trac II.

 

Great picture, Roby! There is a smoothness to the filter that is terrific!
