Razor: Gillette NEW LC Thin Long Bar
Blade: Voskhod (1)
PreShave: Proraso Green
SS & AS: Stirling Mountain Man

Had to color match the way few people can. Honestly, I like both the razor and the brush. The Maggards SHD Fan knot is a very good knot. It builds a lot of lather, plenty for 3+ passes.

The NEW LC is a very natural shaver for me. It seems to match my style and produce excellent results every time.

The shave was a relaxed 2.5 pass shave with the extra .5 focusing below my jawline. I'm smooth, BBS with no irritation. Even the Alum was kind. I with all shaves could be this enjoyable. I know they'd be better if I stuck with a consistent set of gear, but I can't do that. I have to play.

I'm going to be a little busy the next few nights. My grandmother is struggling with her isolation and those of us with very limited exposure to the outside world try to visit her as much as we can. It breaks my heart that she's alone so much. At 89 she's said goodbye to so many of her peers and her kids and grandkids struggle to balance meeting her needs with possible exposure to an illness that would likely be very serious.

 

Fantastic shave, Jeff! Glen did a marvelous job restoring that razor. Do you have any before pictures?

 

Jason, nice post, pic and shave!

 

or God forbid the stench of Tabac!

 

Beautiful shave setup, Jason!

 

yes sir,works perfectly.i got it to time runs when my brother was into drag racing..i've had it quite a while..

 

Awesome shave setup, Joe! Traditional and effective.

 

I like the vintage razors because of their history and have stood the test of time to still shave effectively.

 

Lovely shave with your new razor! Glad it shaved well for you! I have two Japanese straights, both picked out for me by my son, and they shave beautifully and really hold an edge according to Ben. I haven’t had sufficient experience with them to comment .

 

Thanks Jeff! The Wosty is over 100 yrs old and still going strong.

 

Here are the before pics:

 

Thank you Daniel.

 

awesome shave and pic Evan.my grandma just passed recently at 98 years young.she had and survived covid but it took what was left of her i am sure.never fully recovered and went peacefully in her sleep, thankfully.

 

Agreed, Joe! I’d like to pick up an 18th or 17th century straight for both the shave comparison and the history.
