Excellent Karl! I love it when antique, not often seen razors make a use appearance!

Schick Proline (2)
Semogue BC Mistura 26mm
Stirling Orange Chill
Superior 70

Even though this is aggressive model of the razor, I find it to be more friendly than the open comb version and only slightly more aggressive than the standard model. I have had two shaves with this one so far and it is definitely a winner. 2 passes, close comfortable, irritation and blood free shaves. Enjoy your day.

 

Going out of town for three days, I thought I'd get in an evening shave with the Faza, which may be Italian or not. It's a lovely piece of jewelry but a pretty lousy razor. One side is extremely mild, the other completely useless, I gave up before finding out how much pressure I'd have to use to get the edge touching skin. It will cut with the narrow Fatip mk1 cap but with chatter. On the plus side the lovely handle mates with the Fatip just fine.

Look at that head! So shiny smoooooth!

Achieved with a 1947 Eversharp Schick Fashion Razor injector razor, a Personna 74 injector blade and vintage 1960s Palmolive USA Shave Cream!

Fun, different, excellent result!

It is a solid cologne so just rub a couple of your finger tips on it in a circular motion and warm it up then apply. I put it on my wrists and on my neck.

Menthol Monday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Tea Tree Body Bar
Heldtite Synthetic
Mercur Progress (First Shave)
Personna Super (65)
CWR
Osage Rub

The Tea Tree Body Bar Shave Soap lathered well with the Heldtite Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Mercur Progress Razor with a Personna Super (65) Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Osage Rub. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Menthol Monday:

A great Grand Freeze!

Stirling Mentholated Pre Shave Soap
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/new Schick
Master Soap Creations Peppermint Lime SS
Stirling Glacial Unscented ASB
Fine Snake Bite AS Splash
Bleu de Chanel Deodorant Stick
Bleu de Chanel EdP

These Schick blades are awesome - they’re very sharp, smooth, as well as forgiving. Fernando sent me a pack of them in one of my orders and I started the last one today. The Peppermint Lime soap is one of the nicest he makes - the scent is so beautiful and refreshing, the tallow formula allows wonderful, slick lather, it’s got a whopping good menthol sensation, and the postshave feeling is great. The Glacial Unscented balm together with the Snake Bite aftershave prolonged the freeze so well. Today’s shave was so BBS and so enjoyable!

Have a good week - be well and safe!
