    Razor: 1930 President
    Blade: Super Iridium
    Brush: unknown 18mm Boar

    AS: Tabac

    Super smooth shave with this setup. For me the Super Iridium Blades are the Bee’s Knees

    I am a SE and straight razor guy 90% of the time. I must admit that the old Gillette’s are incredible shaves too.

    This razor is my most beautiful razor bar none.

    I just used a plain ol Slim set on 6 with a Nacet(3) and got a 99.8% perfect shave. I know I've said it a couple of time this last few day but this was my best shave ever. I only bought 50 of these blades along with 300 others of different brands. May have to look into doing some trading as I think I've found my #1 go to blade.

    Another outstanding picture and shave. Does that aftershave scent hang around a while or is it gone as fast as Clubman?

    SOTD:
    I've had some absolutely stunning shaves this month! I've been using bundubeard coffee and an arko shave stick exclusively this month and while both can be considered "budget" soaps, both work better than any other soaps ive ever tried, many being more than double the price. I've also used Col Conk lime a few times in the last two months or so. A budget soap shootout between the three soaps will be coming out shortly, within the next week so stay tuned!

    The Gillette aristocrat has also been serving me well over the last few weeks. Its absolutely amazing how a razor made in 1948 still performs as well as the day it left the factory, it's an absolute must for vintage razor collectors who use their collection for shaving like i do.

    I've also noticed that the Gillette blades seem to keep their edge way way longer than voshkods. Don't get me wrong, Voshkods are fantastic blades, but for me they lack longevity, which is one of the more important factors for me to consider in a blade

    Razor: 1948 Gillette aristocrat barber pole
    Brush: Wilkinson sword classic shave
    Blade: gillette 7 o clock sharp edge (15)
    Soap: Bundubeard coffee 250g
    Aftershave Balm: prep[​IMG]
