Good Sunday morning all...

'51 Gillette Black Tip razor w/ Kai blade (1)
Crabtree & Evelyn BBB
C&E Sandalwood sc
Thayers Original WH w/aloe
C&E Sandalwood a/s balm
C&E Sandalwood Edt

A C&E sandalwood morning...a great shave with the Black Tip and the C&C sc. Using a fresh blade really makes a difference. I can get decent shaves with blades that have 6, 7, or 8 shaves on them but using the new blade reminds me that I shouldn't let the blades go so long. Three passes and a BBS.

Yes--my Grandpa used for so many years this razor, and he used only DE blades.

Blade: Astra Superior Platinum (Shave #1)

Sunday

Razor: Merkur Futur on 2.0
Blade: Gillette 7 O'Clock SharpEdge
Brush: Rooney SMF Special
Pre-Shave: Kell's Original Unscented Pre-shave
Soap: Mitchell's Wool Fat
A/S: Pre de Provence ASB

What's that saying about absence making the heart grow fonder? After shaving with other razors for a week, I returned to the Futur. All I can say is, "WOW".

 

When will you get this back in the shop, Leon??

I love the Eau de Toilette from Veleiro :happy088

Thank you! I like it a lot. They have a little magnet in the end of the handle even to help handle blades. Pretty unique razors. They were made in England. They are pretty mild razors, but one time while shaving I noticed the little notches on the bottom knob, and the arrow pointing to them. I thought that kind of looked like an adjustable, so I tried loosening it up one notch. Amazing results.

 

How do you put a DE blade in a auto strop? cut in half or what?

Hello Rene,

Soon I hope. I need to re-stock some products and this is one of them.
The EdC is great, isn't it? I love it too.

 

This is exactly the kind of razor Grandpa used--I put in the blade as is, and shave!
