A trip down memory lane this morning, taking the 55 Red Tip out for a spin. She was fueled up with a Vintage Gillette, and really broke loose on the slickness created by the Rubberset Silvertip and Ghost Town Barber (my this is great soap). I finished the trip with some English Leather. A Tepco vintage china coffee mug hung out with us this morning as well. Have a blessed day gentlemen.

SOTN June 15th Gillette New Short Comb Gillette 7'O Clock Super Stainless Stirling 24MM Synthetic La Toja Fine Platinum AS I've been really jonesing for an OC shave so yesterday I decided switch my focus for a week and use the Gillette New SC instead of the Milord. Both the New SC and the 7O'C SS are members of The Dream Team, and when you have a dream team pairing you know you are in for an epic shave. Of course they did not disappoint. The New loaded with the 7O'C SS glided across my face without a hint of harshness or tugging, the lather was wiped away and the whiskers were gone. Upon inspection during my final rinse there was not a hint of stubble to be found. The only fitting end to such a magnificent shave was a splash of Fine Platinum. Happy Friday, and have a great weekend everyone!
Razor: Portland Razor Co Chimera Strop: Drygulch 45 Brush Handle: 30DC LE Knot: APShaveCo Cashmere Soap: Wholly Kaw Fougere Bouquet Post Care: Thayers Witch Hazel Alum Osage Rub Aftershave: Wholly Kaw Fougere Bouquet My first try of a Wholly Kaw soap and I'm very impressed. This is their vegan formula and it lathered easily, it was very slick and offered great protection. The scent is very nice, more floral than anything else I have but it's pleasant. Three passes with the Chimera for a DFS. Have a great day folks!
