    Shaving Recipe for today.

    Prep: Warm shower:/ Radox Feel Active Sea Salt & Lemongrass Shower Gel.

    Pre:
    Cold wet flannel to my face & head.
    Pears with Mint Extracts Transparent Bar Soap.
    Brush: Yaqi 24mm Sagrada Familia Synthetic.
    Bowl Lather.
    Bowl: Home Bargains Stainless Steel Side Bowl.
    Lather: Scottish Fine Classic Shaving Soap.
    Razor:1940's Thin Handle Gillette Flat Bottom Tech. (ENG) - Chinese Gillette Super Blue. (D1)
    Razor: Baili BD 191. (Head/Dome) - Chinese Gillette Super Blue. (D1)

    Post:
    Cold water face & head wash with brush squeezing's, Cold Water Face & Head Rinse./Alum Rub./Cold Water Rinse. /Homemade (~Spring/Summer mix~) Lemon, Eucalyptus, Tea Tree, Essential Oils.3 Menthol Crystals Mixed Together With 200ml of Care+Witch Hazel./Paco Rabanne Pour Homme ASL./Aloe Vera Cooling Gel.

    Greetings,
    A new shave set up to start the weekend...I have carried on with my blade focus using the Gillette Super Blue another Chinese made blade in comparison with the Gillette London Bridge i used in my previous shaves. Both blades are pretty much equal in both smoothness and efficiency.

    I've went full circle with my vintage Gillette Tech's and returned to using my 1940's vintage flat bottom tech & Kanzy K100 to finish my Gillette tech & clone focus month off.

    The simple tech razor design is one of my favourites each of my Tech's are special to me if I had to choose a favourite then it would be the earlier models as i find them to be slightly more efficient depending on the blade choice.

    A close comfortable acceptable face and head shave with no errors to report. Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Aloe Vera Cooling Gel.

    My face & precious swede are feeling super smooth & smelling divine. ;)

    Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen. :cool:

    The fb tech is a wonder.:love055:...Every traditional wet shaver should have one or at least experience the performance of these wonderful shaving tools. Gillette definitely got it exact with the fb design models, your comments say all. Have a great weekend. Yours-Barry.

    Fine shave with Razorock's Lime Burst/Gabels Lime. I probably should have gone with something cold(like Ambassador Jeff does), as the humid seaso may be upon us here in MA. But this was nice. The blacktop at the bottom of the Razorock puck is expanding. Razorock has always pleased me with their items. 2 passes. Zero across the board for cuts, Knicks, Polka-dots. The Gabels A.S. wemt on well. No worries about Niagara Falls here-the pour spout is nice and tiny.Mutamayez cologne to top it off. As Outstanding As It Gets.

    Wonderful shave Joe. Great minds think alike because I have Stirling Spice on my counter for this afternoon's shave.
