Thanks for the clarification. I learned something today. I just hope it cleans up good. I have cleaned several nickel plated Gillettes before with just a hot soak, an old toothbrush and Dawn dishwashing detergent. Would you recommend the same on the gold plating? I just want to be careful with the plating.

Nice!

Great shave, Rick! Love the JR #130!

Cool score, Danny!

Actually, that shaving cream does look yummy. That’s the first time I’ve ever said that about shaving cream.
Nice photo and write-up, John!

Thanks.

Great score! It definitely helps when the desirable razor is just lumped in as an unidentified throw-in with a cheap mug...

Decadent December!!

December 6, 2018

Razor - '46-'47 Gillette Aristrocrat
Blade - (3)
Soap - Jeeves of Hudson Street Blood on Steel 30 DC LE
Brush - 30DC LE
Post - Alum

Tonight I decided to pile decadence on top of decadence. Aristocrat and Voskhod. Add the limited edition Blood on Steel soap from the meet-up and use the limited edition brush from @jtspartan and you have a ridiculously exclusive and decadent shave. I even used a splash of the after shave even though it's evening. Three full passes, smooth, great scent, fantastic lather, BBS finish and a lingering scent from the AS. And it's only the 6th of the month!

My day off was a success. Doctor proclaimed me in good enough shape to continue on. He recommended a couple of ideas to keep the progress going. Got all of my items crossed off my to-do list and the new phones arrived. I didn't realize they needed nano sim cards so......those arrive tomorrow now and I'll have them working in no time. Have a great night and a fantastic Friday tomorrow!

carefully with a soft tooth brush and dawn..the cool part is that due to the knurling it is an executive..the later slim aristocrats were gold plated slim adjustables,if you replated them in nickel you couldn t tell the difference..

Looks like a great day and a great shave today Neal

Somebody has to do it so I'll get 'er done. I've been hearing this song all day in my head. One of my favorite Coen Brothers movies, though I love them all.

​

I’m m not really sure. I have a couple of Stirling flavors and I use them for travel. This bottle is just shy of half full. Nice stuff.

nice shave...great razor..

As requested mill post more in a day or two.

I’ll get m associates on it. Soju will go great with the lobster.

Thanks Bruce! Last I looked the near match, also from Cypress, #131 was available for adoption

Fine Lavender Aftershave

​

Up and moving very early this morning. A very nice 3 pass shave to start the day. Somehow I missed touching up my right jawline and ended up just short a BBS shave. More than good enough for today. A splash of Fine Lavender and I am off to enjoy the wonderful Atlanta morning commute. Happy Friday everyone.

Neal, you certainly raised the bar on decadence with that set up! Congrats on receiving the good news from your doc!

Enjoy your new phones!

I've enjoyed watching you dial in the Supply V2, Clint. I like the simple, clean design. I hope work goes smoothly for you today. One more (hopefully short) day till Saturday.
