TUESDAY'S SHAVE​

Razor - Gillette Red Tip Superspeed circa 1955-1960 (Re-plated in Satin-Nickel Finish and re-painted tip in Radiant Red color by Razor Emporium.)
Blade - *3rd shave
Shave Brush - Ever-Ready 1960's vintage (Polished and re-knotted with a 26mm Ubersoft II knot from Envyshave by Razor Emporium.)
Shave Stand by by Desire Metal Works
Preshave Soap - Phoenix Artisan Accoutrements - Cube with Dock
Pre-shave Additive - Phoenix Artisan - Accoutrements - The Chill Mill
Suds - Proctor & Gamble Old Spice "Original" Cream (Made in India) *I dried it out for months into a hard soap.
Deodorant - Proctor & Gamble Old Spice "Classic"
Aftershave - Proctor & Gamble Old Spice "Original" (Made in India)
Fragrance - Proctor & Gamble Old Spice "Classic"

I will experiment with the Chill Mill's menthol crystals and an Old Spice lather. For warmer weather, this makes for a really great product. I'm 50/50 on whether I will use the CUBE pre-shave soap. I might skip it because the hardened cream soap does a good job all by itself. I'll let you know after the shave what I chose to do.

 

So smooth...

SOTD:
Todays shave was my second with the Aristocrat this week, and what a shave! I'm not used to using such mild razor's anymore, and it was the perfect setup for a speed shave.

The Col Conk performed wonderfully, producing super slick lather, and the feather blade cut through stubble, although not as effortlessly as it once did although it did shave without tugging.

That status aftershave is really growing on me, that stuff is absolutely fantastic!

Razor: Gillette aristocrat barber pole handle 1948
Blade: feather hi-stainless (28)
Soap: Col Conk lime
Brush: dischem synthetic
Aftershave Balm-aquaous cream
Aftershave: status for men

How many shaves before you flip the blade over?........ Do you really flip the blade over?........ Feather hi-stainless has reached 28!!! and STILL GOING!!!!

 

very cool sir..

 

very cool shave sir..

 

Oh i dont flip, all i do is wash and dry the blade after use. I dont consciously keep track of which side i put the blade back.

I use a blade up until it tugs, so whether thats 7 or 30 shaves its entirely dependent on how long the blade shaves without any tugging.
