    Will you be using other Gillette products, too?

    From time to time I’ll use a Gillette blade as well. Modern ones only because even though I have some vintage Blue Blades I prefer the modern ones.

    4DD0DABD-9104-4707-B375-7D7A24FA238B.jpeg So back to the OCs we go and this particular one is a Gillette New LC replated by Chris Spencer at Back Roads Gold. Lovely razor and whether you grab a SC or LC everyone should have one in their OC collection. Wilkinson Sword (German) was the blade of choice and always does a great job regardless of razor it gets thrown into.

    Soap of the day was RazoRock Black Bay whose praises I have sung before and no change today. Love the scent of this green beauty. Chubby 1 had no issues today as usual and a mighty face lather was enjoyed all around.

    Lovely two pass shave with a little buffing and a super close almost BBS shave achieved. Topped it off with some Bvlgari Man and perfection achieved. Lovely sunny day and much to be done but made that much better with this shave. Take care all and safe travels!

    Good call, because I only use Vintage Gillette razors during months that have 28 days.
