good morning gents,monday shave,loaded the u,s gold tech with a derby premium blade..great smooth blades are these.loaded and face lathered the arko,lovely lather,near bbs in 2+ passes..no drama..just a nice and easy,simple shave..this tech is the original design from 1938,and 1940 was the only gold prewar type produced,after the war the design changed to what was the norm for another 20 or so years with minor styling changes-handles,insignias etc.only u.s and canada got this design,due to shortage of machinery.britain had the flat bottom tech,modified from the 7 oclock/flat bottom new design until 1948,then got the post war tooling as well.blade clamping is similar to the new long comb design,where as the post war tech baseplate mimics the new short comb.
finished off the shave with a splash of duru limon cologne..awesome..have a fine day everyone,,

 

I did not know these had a place here, these sit forever waiting since I use a strait.
& until this present virus stay at home goes away not shaving.

 

Sweet gold tech shave & pic Gary..

 

thank you Mike....

 

Great Looking Set Up Gary!

Gillette Slim Twist / Voskhod Blade

Well why not some more citrus? Stirling Satsuma is a lovely blend of Mandarin orange and oriental spice. If you have ever had occasion to enjoy Satsuma fragrance oil in a scent heater at home this smells exactly like its namesake.

Today’s razor the Gillette New SC with a long, thin handle and refinished in 24k by BackRoadsGold. As OC go this one is very smooth and just a joy to use. Balanced quite nicely on this handle coming out slightly head heavy so it just glides down the face.

No need to chase BBS today and a lovely two pass DFS shave achieved. Top it all off with some Acqua di Parma Colonia. Another workweek...please stay safe and enjoy some sun on your face (through the window). God bless.
