Gary!

 

You do!

This is the 'heavy' one, right? Not the aluminum one...
I like it, but use it too seldom!

 

Gus!
Is the AS rose scented?

 

Is the Wedgewood bowl a vintage one?

Foggy and freezing cold: finally some weather in line with the season!

I woke up late and enjoyed the foggy atmosphere while, from the shower, I looked outside and saw... very little!
I was inspired by the idea of the almond cream from Treviso, a city linked to good memories: it is the only latherer I've ever finished.

I find this cream to be one of the two best I've ever used: luckily I still have plenty left!
In fact, should I still be alive and shaving when it will be finished, I would like to try the Boellis’, but I don't know where to smell them: it's not easy to find a store that stocks them, especially here in the middle of nowhere.

I consider the brush testing finished and I can go back to using the brush I feel like.
I have also found out that its small size is not an impediment to its use: the handle is easy to hold: very ergonomic and comfortable.

I haven't used the Maggard in a while, and that head (no longer in production, of course!) with the Kai was libidinous, even on minimal growth.

Yes, it is Sergio. Though not very strong nor persistent. Like a quick burst of freshly cut long stems......

Sounds (smells? ) good!

Thank you Gus!

 

I can't tell one Schick from another, but yours seems like the one I bought in the 70's and that I cannot retrieve any more...

Have a great day!​

 

Beautiful set ups and photos gentleman - happy Friday!!

 

I love this particular Schick as it's on the mild side compared to the others of the G series (although I haven't shaved with all of them!). I was looking for something with this head design that was mild enough for day to day and I think I found it! I just love the head design on these relatively early Schicks.

Never knew there were differend mildness options...
I found mijne aggressive fot my technique of those days: I bought it because I thought the blade would have been more rigid than on the Gillette Slim Adjustable I was using.
But it had been disappointing...

Also my Injectomatic Pal has been in the beginning, until i learnt toy us it with feather pressure!
