Semogue 1250 Boar Brush
Gillette Red Tip TTO B 1 with a Treet Durasharp Carbon Steel Blade

The second of my 3 recent rediscoveries ...a little rougher and it did require a little readjustment to return it to full working order. Definitely more aggressive than the original TTO....but still tame when compared to many of the razors currently found.
Three passes gave a lovely BBS shave

Enjoy the remainder of the weekend!

 

WCS Multi Razor & Bolzano Superinox #1
Maggard Granite
Wholly Kaw Chypre Rose Concerto
Humphreys Alcoholado Maravilla
Nivea 2in1 lotion
Wholly Kaw Chypre Rose Concerto A/S splash

Under $20 razor, $$$ Million dollar shave from a Zamak head and SS handle. Efficient, not overly aggressive and smooth. Think Rockwell 6s on a #4 or #5 plate with a tad more blade feel, really nice. And what hasn’t been said about the Wholly Kaw CRC? A wonderfully scented soap with a lather that takes second place to no one in terms of performance and post shave results. Definitely Tier 1 class in my book. Have a great day and shaves Gents...

A fine three pass shave this morning with the Gillette Sensor 5. I am smooth and refreshed. Enjoy your day friends. ☺️

 

Excellent setup and picture. Knot looks good in that handle.

Thanks very much Guy.
The Sabre with the L2 base plate is a great razor. Well balanced and easy to use.

A brilliant shave despite the Astra blade being just about finished. The Sharp Dressed Man soap delivered on the great lather with its lovely, classy scent and soothing post-shave feeling. I couldn't resist using the Musgo Real classic aftershave - it smells so nice but it doesn't disrupt the scent of an eau de toilette. It's also very comfy on the skin.

Have a nice Sunday!

Can it get any better? A brand, spanking new Polsilver SI loaded into a Fatip Grande OC, waltzing across my Amici lathered face, taking no quarter on my whiskers and then........splash on a booze themed Pinaud AS splash to complete the job. Gentlemen, I don't think so.

Soap: Italian Barber Amici
Brush: Semogue 620 boar
Razor: Fatip Grande
Blade: Polsilver Super Iridium (1)
Aftershave: Clubman Reserve Brandy Spice

 

Thanks Jim. Have a great day buddy ☺️
