Have to go to a conference so thought since have to look and smell good should bring out the big guns. Also to keep up the vintage Gillette razor theme this week.

Another real close shave with the Vintage Sonnal slant. The Lord blade I received as a PIF from Jayaruh was excellent (2 pass perfection). Floid Blue is a wonderful product with a classic barbershop scent, making me want to try some of their other scents. It's amazing how much better I feel about the start of the day now that I enjoy shaving.
Razor: Gillette Goodwill #162 1934 (4 corner positioning posts) Brush: Erskine Badger 1947 Birth Year Mug: VDH Cream: Jack Black cream Blade: Feather (2) Post shave: Thayers Cucumber WH, Jack Black balm, Tommy Bahamas St. Barts cologne This Goodwill razor is built on "New" parts. My other one is built on "Old" parts. I really like the way these razors look, and they shave me milder than my Gillette Old Type Open Comb. I whipped up the Jack Black cream in my first mug, after having it sit in hot water on a wash cloth in the sink. Gives a nice warm lather. First pass WTG going slow and very nice glide with no pressure with this light razor. Very nice! Second pass XTG on my face and then ATG on my neck. The JB was nice and slick and helped get a great shave. A little touchup on my neck, and done. Great razor! Very smooth! The WH felt good and then some JB balm. After cleanup some Tommy Bahamas St. Barts, a gift from my bride at Christmas. It reminds me of Old Spice Lime but it has a tequila scent in it. No really! Very nice. Did I say tequila? Keeping with the weekend starting early and it is Spring Break......
Thought so. Yeah I don't really mind the scent but don't love it either. Great performer though and the menthol kinda builds with it.
