Star 1912 style razor
Gem Stainless blade
Schick M1 Adjustable razor
Personna blade
JR #85 brush
Palmolive Mentholated SC
Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
Colorado Sage cologne

The Gem blade gave out 1/2 thru the shave so grabbed the M1 to do the second pass with and everything turned out fine. Knew the Gem was going but thought I could get thru the shave. Guessed wrong. Oh well, all turned out well. Now I'm off to get a massage and I'm really looking forward to it. Now go enjoy your day folks

Hi folks, for today's SOTD I dug out a Gillette #77 set two piece RFB New lc. Blade was an unusual find. It only has an O designation on it. It is a Gillette Blue Blade. I have heard of these, but I never ran across one before. I don't know anything about them except there is no quarter year number indicator on it. I believe it is a WWII era blade. Here's the photo-


If anyone is interested in the blade I will post photos later. This shave was a two pass BBS! Have a great day all!

Oh wow I like the grey too. Nice!

 

Ah Ha! Finally a glimpse into your shave den my friend. Very nice.

 

Razor - Gillette President
Blade - Bic
brush - Jayaruh no99
Soap - stubble trubble - praying mintis
Post - lavender witch hazel
A/S - lime Sec

Shave was good this morning. The blade and razor combo was not a good one for me a it didn’t seem as sharp as a Dorco or derby blade. I still have some stubble here and there but for the most part I’m good.

 

SHAVE OF THE DAY


Prep: Musgo Real Oakmoss
Razor: GEM G-bar
Blade: Blue Star
Brush: Maggard 28mm synthetic
Soap: Local Gent Kona Colada
Post: Local Gent Anubis balm


Nice smooth shave this afternoon. The scent of Kona Colada really opens up once lathered, the coffee blends well with the coconut. Great residual slickness made it so the final pass was accomplished with a thin layer of leftover lather. Local Gent's balms are incredible, glass bottle and the balm is pretty thick so only a dab is needed. Face feels smooth and refreshed. Hope everyone had a great shave!

 

Pre: Warm water face wash
Brush: EJ Medium BB
Soap: Wickham's Irish Fern
Razor: Cobra Classic
Blade: Feather Pro
Post: Warm then cold water rinse,Vitamin E Oil, Pinaud Clubman

What a great way to end the week. Skin's feeling smooth and smelling powdery and floral

 

I do like Local Gent...they'll hear from me again.

 

Lol that's funny, I also have seen Weird Al in concert twice. He puts on a great live show. He even put on the fat suit for the parody of Michael Jacksons "Bad". Had some Dr. Demento cassettes as a kid and love the parody/ comedy music.

 

Yea I saw you were running thru your tub of Fields & Streams which is a great scent. If you haven't tried their balms I highly suggest trying some. Rob also makes some cool looking brushes as well.

 

SOTD 1/19/2018
RAZOR: Drug Mart CALIBER 5 Pivot Razor (disposable) - Personna/Schick Wilkinson Sword
BLADE: FIVE (*compare to Gillette Fusion 5 Blade razor) - this was my 10th shave with this razor.
BRUSH: NO - applied by hand
PREP: hot water shower with Nourish Cool Cucumber Green Tea Moisturizing Soap, followed by hot water rinse
PRE SHAVE: Rite Aid Renewal Cold Cream
SHAVE CREAM: Barbasol Original
POST SHAVE: Hot water rinse
AFTER SHAVE: VIBR (not pictured)
BALM: Gillette After Shave Gel (not pictured)

Very efficient shave today - 1-pass DFS (almost BBS except for the touch-up areas that I didn't).
I love the protection and slickness of Barbasol, but it tends to leave me with dry,taught skin after the shave. (Wintertime)
I tried cold cream as a pre-shave in combo with the Barby to see if it would leave me with a better face feel. SUCCESS!
Great finish with Pinaud & Gillette products.
Have a great weekend.

 

Saturday morning's fun:

Stirling Mentholated Pre-Shave Soap
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed/Astra day 6
Stirling Margaritas in the Arctic SS
Lucky Tiger AS Cream
Reef Point Fougere Santal AS Splash

Hey, it's been too long that I've stayed away from my Stirling soaps so it's time to go back to them. The MITA's delightful scent, rich, slick lather, and that wonderful chill has me impatient now. I get so much great post-shave care from the Lucky Tiger balm and that Fougere Santal aftershave will guarantee me lots of big kisses from my beautiful wife!

 

Was that a Bic Chrome Platinum or an Astor ?

 

I believe it was the bic chrome
