Gillette NEW LC in Gun-Kote Bronze by Delta Echo Razor Works
Voskhod Teflon Coated DE (1)
JR #160 Louisville Slugger handle w/Omega 10098 boar knot
Truefitt & Hill Sandalwood
Alum, Thayers WH, USB, Clubman & Ermenegildo Zegna Uomo EDT
Wow! I had a fantastic shave with some favorite gear this morning. Two glorious passes and a few touch-ups, and everything worked well together. When the angle is right on the NEW LC, I cannot feel the blade at all. The Voskhod blades were extremely smooth as expected. Everything should have a coat of Teflon on it.
JR # 160 is a favorite - a handle made by our very own
@Jayaruh from bat wood I obtained at my hometown Louisville Slugger museum (see photo below) paired with a wonderful Omega '98 boar knot. This brush will make lather out of anything, and I had loads of it from the T&H Sandalwood in nothing flat.
In addition to my SOTD photo, I'm showing a photo of the NEW LC prior to its spa treatment. It was a well-loved razor for many years, and it continues to be well-loved in my Den.
I finished up with all the normal stuff except for the EDT. Does it pair well with Clubman? Does anything? The Clubman scent has long since gone (YES!), and I'm left with a very pleasant summertime "aqua" scent from the EDT. It's not a product I'd re-purchase (I got it for a song, so I can't complain), but it's nice enough to use up.
I'm feeling much better today. Thanks, gentlemen, for yesterday's well wishes. I hope you all are having a blessed day.
