A mid afternoon shave today, as it is my day off and I have the house to myself.....

Pre-shave wash with Clinique face soap for men, followed by Anthony Logistics pre shave oil.

Proraso Green (my first time using it. Very nice!!!)

My Gillette New Tech.

Vulfix shave brush.

3 passes with a Feather blade.

Finished with some Clinique Post Shave balm and Proraso AS.

Have a great day!!

 

Razor: Gillette Ball End Tech NDC (declared 1947) Birth Year
Brush: Erskine Badger 1947 Birth Year
Mug: Old Spice (early glass Mug 01) 1947 first glass mug Birth Year
Cream: Cella
Blade: Feather (2)
Post shave: Thayers Cucumber WH, Jack Black Balm, TOBS Luxury AS
The Gillette Tech is a nice mild razor for me even with a Feather blade. The Erskine brush whipped up a thick warm lather in the OS Mug as it was sitting on a wash cloth, for padding, in the sink that was filled with hot water. Very nice two pass shave with some touchup. Warm water rinse and pat dry. Some WH and after cleanup some JB Balm and some TOBS. Have a good one y'al. (That's Texan)

That Sterling looks like oatmeal. I can never get past the way Sterling "soaps" look or the residue that it leaves on everything. Nice slant!

 

Nice Weber! It may be a collectors item now.

 

My pic last week was upside down now yours is sideways. Mine looked different depending on how I viewed the site. I had to delete mine and add it back. Strange, or did you do this on purpose!

 

Today's the first day of my week using the Swedish Swing "1935 CC" razor.
I thought it was apt to use a Rapira, Swedish Steel blade in it.

More details about the shave here

Razor: Swedish Swing "1935 CC"
Blade: Rapira
Soap: Klar Kabinett
Brush: L'Occitane Plisson
A/S: Lucky Tiger

All in all a very nice shave!

 

Thanks Obi! Have they stopped making the Weber Polished Head razors? (I haven't heard.)
At any rate, I will be holding on to this one as it's a great shaver and one of my favorite razors.

 

Sweet razor DG!

 

Yes, on purpose! I wanted to highlight the razor.

Tuesday's


Nivea Men's Face Wash
Col. Conk Amber Shave Soap
Jayaruh WC1 Silver Tip
GEM 1912
GEM Super Stainless
CWR, Asma Alum Block
Thayers Lemon WH
Pinaud Clubman

The Col. Conk Amber Shave Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh WC1 Silver Tip Brush. Two passes with my GEM 1912 SE razor and a GEM Super Stainless blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, alum block, and a final cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayers Lemon WH and then Pinaud Clubman after shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

On the Weber website they only show handles for sale.

 

Tuesday's shaving plans:

Neutrogena Men Facial Wash
Large Horsehair Barbershop
Super Speed/SuperMax Blue day 2
Stirling Glacial Lavender SS
Anherb AS Conditioner
Alcolado Glacial Menthol Splash
Fahrenheit EdT

Guys, I'll tell you what - if you let me have a nice shave tomorrow with my Glacial Lavender soap I promise that on Wednesday I'll use something different which won't be any of the other Glacials which I have. It's just that I can't resist the awesome scent that this soap gives me every time as well as the rich, easy-to-build lather and that arctic-like menthol blast which makes me feel so good. Also guys, please let me use some Anherb conditioner because it cools and soothes my skin every time, and gives it such a well-moisturized sensation. I'll also need a splash or two of the Penguin to finish off the freeze, so will you please, please, pretty please allow me to? Thanks!

 

Prep : Cold water
Razor : Rolls Razor
Blade : Rolls Razor
Brush : VDH
Soap : VDH
Post : Old Spice
This shave was not the closest but then I did only strop it so back to the Hone!

 

Awesome kit

 

It is an interesting idea, and you have a great set-up, but for me it would just be too much work to get a pretty good shave. I have a Rolls, and I could never get a good shave. I couldn't get the blade sharp enough. It makes a great display though.
