GOOD MORNING TSD!! SOTD 02/15/16

Razor-Unknown Trac II
Blade-Dollar General
Lather-Neutrogena
Brush-E-Shave Badger
Post Shave-Cold Water Rinse
Witch Hazel,Gillette After Shave Gel

A very nice and smooth shave this morning,not really sure why I went with the TracII saw it sitting there last night and thought eh! why not.
I did my normal three pass shave,wtg,xtg,atg no irriation or nicks,the Neutrogena is always very slick, it's the 2nd or 3rd shave on the Dollar General blade.
So all in all I have to say a very enjoyable shave with a BBS finish!!

HAVE A GREAT DAY EVERYONE!!!

 

How classy and beautiful! @melyus

 

Hi everyone, today's SOTD;

1941 Gillette Ranger Tech.
Vintage Segal blade.
Vintage Wm. Marvy #2 boar brush.
Proraso red shaving soap.
Avon Mesmerize post shave conditioner.
Avon Mesmerize cologne.



I had a great shave today. The old Segal blade chopped down all my stubble to a level of DFS. I was a little apprehensive about the blade at first, there were a couple of brown spots on the paper inner wrapper, which usually indicate deterioration, but the blade looked and performed just fine. I think my whiskers must be easily cut though. I sent a few tucks of these same blades to a friend of mine, and he had a lot of tugging and pulling from them. End result for him was a below average shave. Too bad though. But at least I can use them.
Anyway, have a great day people!

 

Superb photo layout!

One thought of today’s shave - Gillette Wild Rain ... OMG! So great! ​

 

Thanks!!

 

Hello TSD - first shave with my new Rockwell razor today




- Mitchell's Wool Fat
- Semogue OC badger
- Rockwell 6S with 1/3 baseplate
- Gillette Silver Blue
- Tüff sensitiv Rasierwasser

Very nice shave - I already love this razor. Good weight and balance, fantastic handle. Started WTG with the #1 plate - very smooth and actually quite a bit more efficient than I thought. I like to feel the blade a little more though, so I turned the baseplate over for the next pass X/ATG. Better Still pretty mild, but definitely more reduction and a little more acoustic feedback. Some touchups - and voila: 95% BBS, I'd say. Very nice for the first shave with a completely new razor.

Tomorrow I'll try 4 and 5.

 

Thanks!!
