-Vintage-Gillette-Shave-

thank you sir..if i was a minimalist, an rfb and a flat bottom tech would be all i need..

 

I like my flat bottom tech. Haven’t used a rfb yet but I’d have to stick my double ring in there somewhere.

 

i thought you had a new rfb razor..#44 set..

 

No sir. On the list. But not yet.

 

Perfect travel setup. Soaked the WS in the pill bottle. The homemade shave stick worked like a charm too. I could have gotten a 3rd legitimate pass with the lather in my brush!
But it is official, I miss the ABC handles.

Razor: Gillette Senator(1938)
Blade: Gillette 7 O’Clock SharpEdge Yellow
Brush: Simpson Wee Scot
Pre-Shave: Face Lather
Lather: ToOBS Mr. Taylor’s Travel Stick

 

very cool sir.. nice pic..

 

Howdy, I love your travel set up. Those little metal European market cases are cool. I only acquired a couple in the years I was actively searching for razors and razor sets. I imagine that Senator fits perfectly in there. And that is an excellent choice for a versatile travel razor. The Wee Scott is another fantastic choice. You have it going on man! Great set up!

The razor does fit perfectly:


And while some has questioned the use of ToOBS cream as a shave stick, I’d argue if commercial shave sticks performed as this homemade stick does, pucks and tubs could be unneccessary.

I won’t be doing this with my 50, Platinum, or Royal Forest any time soon, but if it dries up I sure will.

Senator/BIC. Decent on the beard, not particularly effective getting beyond DFS on my head, required the Enders-Proline to finish the 9th.
