    Monday OCtober 7

    Hitting cleanup, one of the pride of my collection, Gillette British Aristocrat #15.

    Bowl/Scuttle - GP12
    Soap - MWF
    Brush - Rubberset 200-4
    Blade - Feather HI SS (6)
    Razor - 1938 Gillette British Aristocrat #15
    Post Shave - OSMA Pierre alum, Baum.BE A/S balm

    Shave rating 5 of 5

    Had to take a few days off from shaving - surgery on my left hand on Friday and had some pain issues over the weekend so didn't want to risk it. My 4th OCtober shave is with one of my favorite razors period; a 1938 Gillette British Aristocrat #15. The shave was so smooth, the razor feels so solid and has good heft. There was a little bit of blade feel (which I like) but not overly aggressive. My Monday soap was MWF and that is a very good soap - I just wish I had more. The Rubberset 200-4 brush is a little floppy for my taste but still did a good job. Post shave, the alum reported very little - one little weeper - which I think backs up how good the razor and shave were. The shave was BBS on 2 passes with no follow-up needed.

    I'm not sure I'll shave Tuesday, may wait an extra day so I can look through my razors to see which one is next AND use MWF again (as if I need an excuse).

    Happy OCtober and great shaves everyone.

    Nice razor. Do you find as extremely mild as I do?

    This 7 O'Clock New Long Comb is a favorite of mine. It's on the mild side, but after 3 passes with a Dorco Prime blade, I had a very comfortable DFS. The Cella was lathered with a Yaqi 26mm Timberwolf. What isn't in the pic is the Cella balm that I used for the first and last time. I like the sweet almond scent, so I foolishly thought that would be what the balm smells like....but no, like La Toja and other soap scents I like, the balms and after shaves apparently have to have a completely different cologne fragrance. It's too much for me, and SWMBO absolutely hates it. Live and learn. Luckily I know a local shaver who tends to go for that scent, so he'll be getting a new balm.

    Since it is O.C.tober time to give this razor a try. For a mild razor this one really performed well beyond my expectations. I got a BBS shave first time out with no irritation. If it keeps performing this one is going to break my regular shave rotation of razors.
