SoS; January 2018.

Razor: Gillette Aristocrat 1947 (Birth Year)
Blade: Personna Platinum (8)
Brush: 30 Day Crew LE with MS 2 Band
Soap: Jeeves Of Husdon Street Turkish Bath
A/S: Lucky Tiger
Bowl: Junichi Tanaka Artisanal Scuttle

Very cold this morning -39.
The blade was on it's last legs, but I was able to get a good shave out of it.

 

When did you get stationed to McMurdo Base in Antarctica? Nice pic and a good day for a scuttle!

 

Good picture and setup. Did that handle come with that razor?

 

I'm really not sure how I got here, but you can come and rescue me anytime you like. Dress warm...

 

-39 I would imagine being in a Turkish Bath myself. And I was complaining this morning with 19 degree weather.

 

I guess I'm just lucky.

 

OK, OK, I'll wish you another happy birthday! But, geez, how many forums do I have do keep up with? Have another happy!

 

Thanks very much.

So at -39 degrees, I'm guessing that going outside to take a whizz would be a HUGE mistake!

 

Blended razor = EJ DE87 head/Scotch & Stowe handle
ZAZA blade
Shave Revolution Evolution Synthetic brush
Palmolive Mentholated SC
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
Pinaud Clubman A/S

Saturday's Shave


Proraso Pre Shave
Arko Shaving Cream
Jayaruh #144
Wade & Butcher 5/8
CWR
Thayer's Lemon WH
Barbasol AS

I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Arko Shaving Cream face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #144 Badger brush. I did two passes with the Wade & Butcher 5/8 and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Barbasol AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Great setup and picture Jim.

 

Thank you, Doug. Can hardly wait to get it on.

Jan. 5,2018 Friday

Razor: Personna Flex Head
Blade: Gillette Twinjector (4)
Pre Shave: Homemade
Brush: VDH Badger
Lather: Proraso Green
AS: Aqua Velva/ Afta
Newspaper Date: Sept. 10,1943

Returned to my favorite combo to compare with the "Guard". No contest, hands down for my favorite. The Gillette "Guard" is still well worth the money. Just a difference in quality (and money). A 2 pass, WTG/ATG a very small amount of clean up. I actually shaved this morning at 6 AM and no signs of
5 O`Clock shadow, it`s almost 3:30. I`m as smooth and clean as if I just shaved. A very Happy Camper wishing the same for all. God Bless.
