SOS: July 2018

Thank you, Doug!

 

Razor: Gillette Milord 1940
Blade: Gillette GSB (4)
Brush: USMC JJ#8 w/ LS (MS) 2 Band 100% Finest @jimjo1031
Soap: Reef Point Soap Tranquility
A/S: Fine L'Orange Noir

I believe this is an 1940 Milord. I've read before that the difference is in the USA. One has USA and the other has U.S.A.

 

Department of the Navy brush & soap combo - excellent!!!
Obviously the USMC brush is amazing and I think the maker of Reef Points is a Naval Academy grad.

 

I’ll stick with the military theme...
Razor: Imperial Razor 20507 “Army and Navy”
Brush: Whipped Dog 30mm HMW
Soap: CRSW Puro Fresco
A/S: Razorock One X

Enjoy your shave!

Smooth shave today after touching up razor on Japanese stones with one layer of tape (call me Mr Limpet - er Dolphin)

 

Very interesting shave Jamie. Sounds tasty like a banana split! I really love bananas and have been thinking of picking these up, but haven't yet. They also have the Peanut butter mix, but I think I'd like the pure banana better.

and now I have to add.....I'll be using a different brush-the Stoylin lil brudder.

Craving this scent again.

 

Get the Pure banana first - it is awesome - smells so natural - also the banana oil is amazing on the skin, also you should really get the banana cube for pre shave - again that banana oil is uber slick and that pre shave soap has a POWERFUL Banana scent!!!! - Of course I also have the PB and Banana mash up - haha - I like that as well, but the pure banana is better - I really recommend the CUBE, Jelly and soap! no matching splash but u would be amazed at how many scents go nice with banana.

 

Friday the 13th - Shave of the Night.
Omega boar with a Schick Type O - great shave!
