SOTD, Sat, May 16th 2020- I've been eyeing my Gillette Golden tech lately and finally had to get it into use today.
This razor is very nice eye candy and if you want a mild shave this is the one to pick possibly. This tech has a narrow sweet spot angle and the audio feed back will clue the person using it when your out of that ideal zone razor angle.
Nice shave over all!

Razor : Gillette Golden tech- MFG 1940's- mild razor, narrow sweet spot razor angle with good audio feed back to guide the blade over the face.
Blade: Gillette silver blue (6) one of my favorite blades, just sharp and smooth out of the packaging.
Soap: Colonel Conk Bayrum, great soap, mild scent with great lather qualities.
Brush: Yaqi tuxedo knot 24 mm with black marble handle- excellent brush to use and enjoy IMO.
Pre-shave: brush wash my face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser+ a dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel.
Prep: cold water rinse after each pass of 3 + clean up. Cold water sure wakes a fellow up in the morning.
Post shave: Razorock Emperor with witch Hazel + a tiny dollop of Nivea sensitive balm.
Results : CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers = had a nice shave with my Gillette Golden tech!



Have some great shaves!

 

Well now welcome to the Saturday of a long weekend here in Canada...The Victoria Day long weekend! Or May 24 as we like to call it....yes it isn’t the 24th but there IS 24 beers in a case! However, this “May 24” is a little different now isn’t it. There will be BBQ but we’ll be waiving at the neighbours and maybe spiralling a few hot dogs over the fence! Stay safe!

Loved the back to back “Aristocrat” shaves and so why not continue in that vein. Today’s razor of choice the 1966 Gillette Aristocrat Adjustable. A Gold Slim by any other name but an A’crat in my books. Loaded up with a Personna lab blue.

Soap of the day is TFS Corte Sabauda one of their 70th anniversary soaps. I have the matching AS and I have waxed poetic enough about how good it is. If you have not tried their soaps, I have several and there is not a bad scent amongst them. They are all 8/9 out 10 on scent strength and I am being conservative. Excellent performers.

Lovely three pass BBS shave. Topped it off with this combo’s match made in heaven scent...Guerlain Habit Rouge. I smell ungodly good! Enjoy the weekend Brothers and Sisters of the Blade and stay safe!
