Today I had a hankering for some Tabac

1958 Gillette No 66 with a day 2 Permasharp

Semogue Pegasus C7 finest badger 2 band

Tabac in the tub, followed up with AS balm and ASL. Delightful as always

No damage, just another smooth No 66’er

Have a great day lads

 

Sounds like a great shave, Chris!

 

Thank you Joe.

 

Cerakote is a baked-on enamel finish developed for military firearms. As far as I know, Delta Echo Razors was the only place that used it to coat razors. Gunkote is a similar finish and North Shore Razors in Hawaii uses it to refurbish vintage (or modern) razors. Everybody else does traditional metal plating - nickel, gold or occasionally rhodium.

So no, Cerakoted razors aren't terribly common -- there are the few hundred that Delta Echo did during its years of operation and that is likely about it.

 

thanks Joe

'twas indeed, thanks John

Thanks John

 

Thanks Chris.

 

Terrific Tabac shave Chris.

 

That's a nice boat brush Joe.

 

Great shave, finishing up(for now)the Proraso foam and A.S. I forgot to dunk the Proraso in the hot tap water(my mind was still on the nagging sink problem I have, in that it doesn't "sink"at normal speed). Foam dunking is routine for me, but my mind can easily be thrown off. Forgetting to dunk it resulted in a slow unhealthy departure from the can. I didn't like that, but knew it could have been avoided. Clean, clear shave all around. One pass. No "incidents of negativity". Pretty Outstanding.

 

Nice shave Gary. I think I read somewhere that AOS has the best Sandalwood, ranking right up there with TOBS.

 

thank you Chrisit is 1 of 3 different english flat bottom tech variants,all have different safety bar grooving,lather slot size and logo/made in.." location and lettering type.this one seems to share safety bar design with later 1950-61 brit tech design,on far right.

 

thank you Paul,TOBS is more cologney scented.i love the AoS samdalwood scent.

 

fine shaves gentlemen
