I betcha if this was the 1930's or 40's no one would have these allergies. I mean, this must be a "New Wave" thing.

I just work right from the puck. My bathroom is too small to store bowls of shaving soap/cream. Actually, the one I'll use tomorrow is pretty hard-Razorock Lime Burst, so this is good advice heading into tomorr9w, and then the MWF next week.

Another fabulous shave. I decided to get the straights a day off. The Ever Ready 1912 is a fine razor and delivers a smooth and comfortable shave. That being said, I decided to bin the blade following this shave.

Another nice day that has two rounds of company coming over to enjoy the pool. Nothing wrong with nice weather and kids frolicking in the pool.

ihope you all have an enjoyable day.

The 1912 is a great razor! I really like my 1912 Star!

Very nice story. It is a shame that greed always seems to rear it’s ugly head.

Wonderful Fat shave this morning Hogie.

Yes, the skin benefits to this form of shaving are well documented. Glad you are having positive results Hogie.

Ok. Sorry my straight shave tutorial took so long to upload. @ewk Eric and @kjbarth Ken and anyone else, enjoy. This was my July 4th evening shave.

awesome friday shaves gents.

Well shaved the 5th time on the same Derby Extra VDH 9/10

Lathering is my biggest issue. It takes the most time and work. I might try distilled water next time.

Every shave should be fun. Have an awesome day Gary.

fine shaves gents.

Thanks again Gary.

thank you Joe.they are all fun.some more than others.it's fun to pick up something rare and 80+ years old and it works like it's new,and as intended.one of the best aspects of my vintage gillette hobby.never been into unusable antiques.i regard techs as daily drivers albiet vintage ones.i am extra careful with my rare to me brits.while they must be used,they must be looked after also.

Thanks guys!
