April 2022 30 Day Rule/Focus and Discussion. All Are Welcome!

Great shave, photos and commentary, my green tea loving friend! Enjoy your day, Barry!

 

I'm in if Daniel has a Red Tip.

 

Tabac, a soap I don’t particularly care for does have a lather that is well thought of. I never had a problem generating a lather when I shaved with it; the scent’s another story. Perhaps if you share your lather-making process we can help?

 

Nice shave, Daniel! I know nothing of Dorco products. I’m pretty much a Feather/Kai DE guy. AV is great stuff! Enjoy your shaves!

 

Lovely DE shave, Danny! Enjoy your day!

 

It was an expensive standard transmission education for Kevin. The kid indentured himself to G-Pop as a result.

 

Lovely shavette shave kit, Joe! Enjoy your day!

 

LOL “TRANNY”? Had me there for a sec, buddy! You were referencing my car!

 

Unfortunately I dont have one, they are a bit hard to find here.

 

Thanks, Jeff! This was my first try with a Dorco blade. I liked it, but Feathers are much sharper. AV is fantastic!

 

The MOLC is great, however, sometimes this 75 yr old stuff ain’t a walk in the park!

 

timeless tuesday
valet vb2
feather
rubberset
palmolive
clubman whisky woods talc



good day gents
first shave today with the valet autostrop vb2,valet's silver plated top end razor.
nice weight and balance in the hand.
honestly felt very similar to my brit vc3 with said handle,which is good.
vb2 secures the blade differently but..
i switched the feather hs10 blade from my vc3 so 4-5th shave.
took my time as always with these razors and no issues ensued.
fine palmolive stick lather stored in the vintage williams tube,
built with the original knot canadian rubberset.
clubman whisky woods talc to finish..
awesomely cool old school feel..

@MrDaniel's ,i had palmolive cream and it was fine stuff,was in the green tube.long used up..the stick is nice as well.
have a fine tuesday everyone.

 

Thanks, Joe!

 

Thanks, Gary!

 

Those are two purty razors, Gary! Is your VC3 silver plated like the VB2?

 

So it seems!

Over here if you get a drivers license, and do the driving test with an automatic, you are not allowed to drive a manual. That's why nearly everyone does it with a manual, but I can see that changing slowly, seeing how popular hybrids are, and electric cars are gaining popularity at least in the larger cities.

 

Fine shave, Gary! I have tried the Palmolive stick and it is a good soap!

 

similar blade exposure/gap .i passed both of mine along a while back.the red tip rockets are hens teeth and are slightly larger exposure wise compared to the regular red tip.i see red tips quite often here in antique shops.i will shop around locally in future and acquire another..

 

most maufacurers have stopped offering manual transmissions as well.most of my cars/trucks were manual..

 

thank you Daniel.i rarely use the few shave sticks i have as i tend to bowl lather mostly..too much switching product for face lathers..
