    Menthol Monday's Cold Water Shave

    Cold Water Rinse
    TSD Iced Lime Shave Stick
    Red and Black Badger by Tom
    Red and Black OT by T. White
    Gillette Nacet Stainless

    Osage Rub

    The TSD Iced Lime Shave Stick lathered well with the Red and Black Badger Brush by Tom. Two passes and touch ups with the Red and Black OT Razor by T. White and a Gillette Nacet Stainless Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Osage Rub. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Preshave: Hot shower
    Soap/Shave cream: Stirling Soap Bay Rum
    Brush: Perfecto Badger
    Razor: 1952 Gillette Super Speed
    Blade: Gillette Silver Blue
    Post shave: Gillette Gel

    The only (minor) drawback to an otherwise perfect shave was the Stirling Bay Rum crumbling as I loaded the brush but it's just a thin sample size so no big deal.
    I wasn't a fan of the Silver Blue blade when I first tried it but now it's slipped into my "Hey, that's not so bad after all" category.
    Just a fantastic smooth and close shave. The old vintage Gillette Super Speeds are simply amazing ... so much so I already have 4 of them and another one on the way.

    I'm on a bit of a vintage kick this week. The 1953 (birth year) Super Speed is my favorite razor and today it delivered yet another perfect shave.
