    @brit great razors, just one question however. Could you please start telling which "model" it is.
    Makes it easier for us new school guys to find and research when we have info to use.

    Today seemed appropriate for the Gillette B4 Red Tip. Always shaves like a Champ!

    Thanks Gary. It's a 1956 model. One of my favorite razors to use. Brush is a custom order from Grizzly Bay.

    This is a bit smaller thread, so it's a bit easier to see the information as opposed to the other threads that have tons of posts.

    70's Sunday Shave

    Wild West Brushworks "Odin"
    Barrister and Mann Jacinthe Soap
    1970 P4 Gillette Knack Razor
    1972 S2 Gillette "The Spoiler" Blade
    Barrister and Mann Jacinthe Aftershave
    Nivea Cooling Post Shave Balm

    Close comfortable shave today with the Gillette Knack. First time using a Spoiler blade and wasn't sure what to expect. Good performance, although I felt a bit of tugging along the neck hairs. Still irritation free though.

    The B+M Jacinthe is a great product. The soap lathered quickly with the WWB Odin brush and provided a slick and cushioned shave. Great post shave feel! The Jacinthe AS did its job and the scent reminds me of a walk through a crisp, damp garden with evergreens off in the distance.
