-Vintage-Gillette-Shave-

DE SOTD, Sat, Feb 6th 2021
Razor: Gillette Golden Tech- MFG 1940's,NDcode, mild range, I used a Kai SS (extra wide blade) and it bumped it up nicely IMO.
Blade: Kai SS (5) Excellent blade, Sharp & smooth + wider than a standard Gillette. Great longevity also.
Soap: Speick- nice mild spicy scent with excellent lathe qualities.
Brush: Yaqi timberwolf whiskers 24 mm, excellent lather generator, soft cloud like whiskers, good back bone + great lather painter.
Pre shave: Brush wash my whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on the cleaned beard area.
Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
Post shave: Razorock Amici with witch hazel + a dollop of Nivea balm.(-35C,38 indoor humidity)
Results: CCS,DFS,BbS + no irritation + no weepers = excellent shave with my Gillette golden tech + Kai SS extra wide. I use to struggle to get a closer shave with the tech but with the Kai blade it made it a more enjoyable shave IMO!!


Have some great shaves! Stay and think safe in these times!

Good morning gents,Saturday shave, every 3 piece razor gets to try my Canadian military tech solid handle that was derived from the valet archives,including the new fb tech..and yes,it balanced out perfectly and gave it more heft. This handle is one year only,1953,the razor head 1948 ish..making this one rare piece of Canadian made brass.

enough babble, fabulous Razo rock lather built by the rr 400 synthetic,fine bbs was the result in 2+ smooth passes,will have a fresh blade next shave. Going to give this razor a go for a bit more. Capped off the shave with a liberal plash of matching aftershave.Awesome.

Glad I got to return and finish up my vintage Williams mini focus, this time with real vintage Williams..was awesome and I'm glad i invested in it.,but glad to be back to some other favorites. While it isn't the real deal SMN i get to enjoy a fine Italian lather and this fine scent for less than $75..

Have a fine day everyone..

 

Thank you....
