    hello gents
    wouldn't be OCtober without a brit valet shave.
    slow and smooth 2 passer in the usual manner.
    went with the trumpers sandalwood cream as i find it a touch slicker than tobs version.
    lovely lather built with the mighty simpson commodore.
    tobs a/s and cologne to finish.

    awesome..:cool:

    Actually some time ago, I would have told you that I hated kai blades, but after changing some things around, out of all the blades I've tried, I actually believe they are my current favorite blades, even over feather, which in my opinion i think kai is just as good of a performer, just nicer on the skin, but thats my opinion, I gladly love hearing other opinions because thats one reason I think wet shaving is so awesome, everyone is different.

    1948 brit fb tech/ball end handle
    platinum
    omega 10050 boar
    arko pressed into a bowl
    duru limon cologne

    [​IMG]

    fabulously smooth 2 pass shave in my usual way
    n/s, s/n,with a touch of combined buffing during the passes in various directions.
    very smooth and efficient as a daily shaver.
    these razors have a narrow sweet spot that comes with day to day use,ie muscle memory.
    i like the heavier ball end handle from a newer 1950s tech.
    techs also benefit from using a sharper blade,giving a bit more feel.
    fine arko lather built with a newer version of my original drug store purchase omega.
    my original got damaged from a "soak in the sink"incident.
    not recommended with wooden handled brushes.
    duru limon cologne to finish

    this soap/ cologne set up leaves the face a bit dry
    as older school stuff doesn't moisturize the face.
    a trait more men like to see today,and artisan soap makers like to advertise.

    hope you enjoyed your shave today
    i loved my basic drugstore shave with products readily available in the not so distant past.
    have a great day everyone..
