    Good Evening Gentlemen, last saturday's shave :

    [​IMG]

    - Dr Selby Lime cream
    - Tadé silver plated brush
    - "SOS" dual-head DE
    - DR Harris Bay Rum AS

    The DE sure is curious, but slightly damaged so it can't shave properly, so I ended up using my W&H Eltham.

    Bonne soirée Messieurs ;)

    Thanks. Thought I'd try something different on the Bird and it was great. The Hempel is titanium so it's light and seemed to give me good control. It did change the feel dramatically and will take another use or two to fully adjust. The Blackbird is a unique creature to tame.

    I was gone fox hunting in west Texas. Back in the saddle.

    Prep: Warm Shower-Stirling Bath Soap-Pig Trail
    Soap: WSP Rustic Shaving Soap-Mahogany
    Razor: Gillette Fat Boy
    Blade: Gillette 7 O’Clock Blue (1)
    Brush: Elite Razor Silvertip-24mmx50mm
    Aftershave: Burberry Brit

    Rustic-Mahogany today. 20 seconds to load the Elite Silvertip. Easy, thick, slick, lather. I loaded a new 7 O’Clock Blue in the Fat Boy. Excellent smooth, close, shave. I finished with Burberry Brit.

    image.jpeg Seeing the new world, 60s are the new 40s
    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: TOBS Grapefruit cream
    Blade: Feather (2)
    Post shave: Thayers Cucumber WH, Jack Black Balm, Vintage Avon 1981 California Perfume Co. Anniversary Bay Rum
    Feeling nostalgic, looking forward to Summer. Back in the day, if it was a long weekend, I was out of the country Scuba Diving. Now I Jet Ski and water ski with my family a lot of the summer in Destin Florida. Come on summer!! Keeps me young.

    The Gillette Tech is a nice mild razor and it's like new, like me. Remember the 60s are the new 40s. 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. Catch the "warm" drift? Some WH and after cleanup some JB Balm and some Vintage Bay Rum. I feel young and back in the islands, or Destin works just fine too. I can almost feel the warm sand between my toes. Ahhhhh!
