Excellent! Sounds good.

Thanks Guy! I get the idea.

Razor: Gillette SS, 1948-49
Blade: Personna Blue SS(7)
Brush: WDC-5
Soap: KnockOut Shave-Cool Blue
A/S: Lucky Tiger

DFS this evening, even though the blade did pull a bit on one side.

Good picture with great looking gear.

Interesting label on the A/S. Sounds like a slap in the face. Although a good one I would think.

Good setup and great tune. Thanks. Thought I'd give Frank a standing ovation.

Thank you! Vintage Gillettes and Frank just go well together!

I agree along with Old Spice.

Sorry for jumping in - the MITA has a strong enough menthol effect to really be enjoyed. Less than the Frozen Tundra and obviously MUCH less than the Glacials, but still quite cold.

Here are my tools for what's going to be a very warm, humid Sunday:

Neutrogena Men Facial Wash
Large Horsehair Barbershop
Super Speed/Derby day 5
Chiseled Face Cryogen SS
Gold Bond Moisturizer
Alcolado Glacial Menthol Splash
Chabrawichi 555 Cologne

Oh man, I know someone who's going to freeze his tush off - and that someone is ee-may!

Sunday's


Dove Men Face Wash
TOBS St. James Collection
Bethleham Olivewood Silvertip
Gillette President
Personna SS
CWR, Asma Alum Block
Thayers Cucumber WH
Pinaud Vegetal

The St. James Collection Shaving Cream face-lathered well with my Bethleham Olivewood Silvertip brush. Two passes with my Gillette President razor and a Personna SS 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 Cucumber WH and then Pinaud Vegetal after shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Nice setup Jim. What is the loft on your Silvertip?

I set it at about 50mm. I am thinking of making it my Sunday brush. My President is already my Sunday razor.

I also find 49-50 mm a good loft. Thanks.

I wish I had more photographic ability, but I thank you for the compliment .

SOTD 7-18-15

Comments: Almost an exact repeat of the SOTD on 7-16-15. Again I tried to use the Torrey for the whole shave but I just couldn't get the rough areas like jawline, chin and upper lip close enough. I did fine with the neck area though! I used the Wolfman razor (open comb side) for a cleanup pass in those areas listed earlier! One weeper and no irritation today and I ended up with a DFS shave but not BBS. No issues with the soap as it lathers easy and gave me very good protection throughout the shave. I still don't think the lather was quite good enough but will work on that. All in all, it was a very good shave today but could have been better!

Please feel free to leave comments on any items used as I enjoy reading them to see what others say about the gear I am using/trying out! Of course, YMMV!

Thx.

Yep! Being an Old Spice junkie!
