    Sounds like a delightful Tom’d-Vette shave. @twhite

    I enjoyed my turn using it on the pass around. Having someone make it the daily driver is so cool.

    Sharko Arko! Great theme, Dave. 2 aftershaves after using Arko seems wise...;)
    Love the SS Karve and the crown on those SV brushes is so very nice.

    Seeing the Dixie Master Barber come out to play makes me realize how insensitive I was once to comment that those beautiful scales looked like a slice off one of my old bowling balls.

    I had to imagine how I might have felt if’n I was the one out there ‘taking a slice off the old bowling ball’ with a bread lame for a late MAYhem shave.

    Shame on me.
    :cool:

    Thanks, Joe.
    The balm absorbs easily into the skin. The woody scent is unobtrusive, but you can't really call it unscented. I like the skin feel afterwards. It absorbs better than the Stirling, which I also have. Both are good products.

    Tonight's shave:
    Razor: Gillette EFBT
    Blade: Gillette 7 o'clock Super Platinum
    Brush: Yaqi Tuxedo
    Soap: Arko
    Aftershave: Proraso Green

    A virtually entirely European affair. Razor from England, Spanish beer, Russian blade, Turkish soap and Italian splash.

    Usual 3 pass shave (plus a few touch ups) resulted in a near BBS finish.

    I have come to accept that there is only one razor in my stable that is capable of achieving a true irritation free BBS. Having said that, this setup delivered a nice close shave with a bit of work! The Gillette Tech series are nice razors, but they are very mild!

    It was my first vintage razpr purchase. I think it was around £25. It is a nice razor, but the MMOC has it beat! :p

    Thanks Joe! :cool:

    You definitely have more aggressive/efficient razors in your stable!
