Razor: Valet Auto Strop Model "C"- 1935-40/ Gillette 1958 TV Special(1) Feather blade)
Blade: Valet New Process (1)
Brush: Frendrihen Silver Tip Badger Faux Horn Handle 22/49
Cream: Proraso
A/S: Pinaud Lime

Got home late yesterday after golf Tournament and didn't shave. Morning shave today. Used the Gold Valet Model C with a Valet blade. Can't seem to get the GEM Feather blade to fit this razor. The razor has a nice feel to it, however, the blade was dull and didn't provide a good shave. Finished with the 58 TV Special and all was saved for a DFS. I'll have to learn to use the Strop that @Drygulch helped me get back in shape.

Great evening shave. Three pass BBS. I had to change the blade after the first pass. Shaving tonight since we must catch an early flight to New England tomorrow. Tabac is an easy lathering soap with a great scent. Clean up in the morning with a shower. Finished with generous dousing of Tabac Afershave. Ready for the airlines. Famous last words. First stop Midway, Chicago.

9/8/2015 Single Edge September / Tobacco Tuesday!

Prep: Hot shower with Neutrogena Face Wash with menthol, home made PSO
Razor: GEM Micro Matic Clog Pruf, H. Boker Master Razor straight razor
Blade: Gem PTFE coated SE blade (7)
Brush: Vie Long Horse Hair
Soap: RazoRock - Tobacco #1
After: Home made ASB, Aqua Velva Ice Blue
Cologne: Aqua H2O

It is Tobacco Tuesday! The Vie Long brush whipped the Tobacco #1 into a nice lather. The Clog Pruf paired with the GEM blade and the Boker did a great job taking down the 3 days worth of stubble. The AV and the Aqua H2O were a fine finish for this almost BBS shave.

Have a blessed day!

 

Thank you! It's fantastic. It doesn't hang around very long but that's okay.

 

Outstanding!

 

I will own one in every color Aldo makes. It's a fantastic handle with a fantastic knot.
