The MAC IS BACK! shave
Neutrogena Invigorating Face Wash
Hot towel
VDH Shave Oil
VDH Lusury Soap, face lathered
Heirloom Gillette Milord, Gillette Silver Blue (4)
W/X/A, touch up's
Cold water, witch hazel, Nivea Sensitive Shave Balm
Domain cologne

I'm back! I sold almost all my stuff after giving up on wet shaving over a year ago. All I have left are a couple heirloom razors. On a whim, I dug out the Milord and some Silver Blues last week. I still had the VDH in the closet. It face lathered much better than I remembered. I've since had 3 acceptable shaves with this outfit. Imagine the smallest part of a milimeter you could feel with your finger. That's the difference between this shave and a shave with a Sensor Excel. Negligible.

So, once again you will benefit from my wit and wisdom!

Can anyone recomend a razor that shaves like a Milord? I think I need to stay away from open combs. Even if I have to stay a minimalist and stick with one setup, I'm happy to be back.

 

Fantastic picture!

 

Great picture, Roby!

Easier to use than the 1924 as far as hitting some tough spots.

Welcome back! A Milord is a gold plated Superspeed, so a Superspeed should shave a lot like it.

 

Excellent picture!

 

Welcome back. Glad to see you posting again. I have a Milord and imo, just about any Super-Speed will give you a similar shave feel. The '56 Flare Tip is one of my favorites.

 

Thank you!

Terrific shave. Thank you to @Tiredricefarmer for a recent trade that allowed me to grab a sample of Wholly Kaw Jamestown Gentleman. Really nice shave. Enjoy your day!

 

Another great shave - this time with a soap I haven't used in a long time. This Paradise Frost from Mickey Lee has it all. A beautiful, refreshing citrusy scent, it lathers awesome and it leaves a comfortable post-shave feeling. There's a bit of a cooling sensation as well. The Amici aftershave's scent paired very well with it!

Enjoy your day!

 

Good looking brush.
