Thank you Jim

 

Gillette Single Ring Razor
Personna Lab Blue Blade
Frank Shaving Boar Brush
Love My Skin Hawaiian Sandalwood Soap
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Avon Wild Country After Shave (Straight Eight Car Decanter)

Single Ring with Lab Blue had no trouble mowing down two days of growth. Two passes and some touch up for a very smooth BBS shave. Soap and after shave pair up pretty good for a nice pleasant scent.

Fantastic shave. Rod's mutton soaps are the best I've ever used, Scots Pine Sheep is amazing! Top 3 shop. I put in a new Feather Pro and the Razorock Black Hawk sure came through. Baby Blue is a nice powdery scent with a shot of citrus. As always the Stirling Badger hits a home run. .

Wonderful BBS shave

 

Is this the fabled Gillette no comb?
I read somewhere that in the early days it was common to remove the comb. How did it shave?

This thing is an amazing shaver. It's probably my best shave of the month. Two passes and very smooth. I bought this razor as part of a lot and it was old and crusty. I'm sure it was modified long ago.

Today's shave
Hot water wash with a washcloth
Ll'occitaine plisson
Stirling vanilla sandalwood (bombed)
Pearl open comb tto (henceforth named instead of SBF-11B)
Persona lab (3)
Omega Alum
Iced pinaud vanilla clubman
B&B Mahogany lotion
Today's shave was very nice. Stirling explodes with the plisson, so rich and creamy. The vanilla sandalwood scent is very relaxing. Second use of the pearl, exceptionally nice shave. This thing's hit home runs right out of the gate. Very easy to use razor. Finished with alum, pinaud wash, lotiony rub. I'm very smooth, cool, and sweet smellin '.
Hope y'all did as well, or better.

 

Nice pic Jim!
