Rating: 5 / 5 Razor: Gillette 162 Goodwill 1931 Art Deco Deluxe Handle Blade: Gillette 7 O’Clock SharpEdge Yellow Brush: Star Ivory Handle Restore Pre-Shave: Georgetown Pottery G12 Scuttle Lather: ToOBS Platinum-Soap Additional Care: Dolce & Gabbana Desert Oud EDP I’ll say this shave was all about the ToOBS Platinum. I wanted to see how it would do with a 16mm Finest Badger. Outstanding. This little knot stored enough good lather for even a 3rd pass, though all I need was a good single pass and a couple of touch-ups where my beard swirls on either side of my Adam’s Apple. But due to a visit to the local barber(yes, he uses hot lather and a straight for the hairline), I was able to extend the shave further back on my neck than normal. Finding him was a good thing and a bad thing. He’s opening up a shop 0.4mi from my front door and my haircut budget will likely increase. I guess I know where my extra vintage stuff might end up...
