    Thursday OCtober 3

    Hitting 3rd, another 113 year old, 1906 Gillette single ring model 100.

    Bowl/Scuttle - GP12
    Soap - Caties Bubbles Purple Grapefruit
    Brush - Rubberset Albright #3
    Blade - Feather HI SS (5)
    Razor - 1906 Gillette Single Ring
    Post Shave - OSMA Pierre alum, Baum.BE A/S balm

    Shave rating 5 of 5

    So I'm finding that each of these vintage century old razors have a personality of their own. My first shave this OCtober was with a similar aged single ring and that was a very mild, smooth shave with no blade feel. This razor was a bit more aggressive, a good bit of blade feel, but no less effective. I was in a bit of a rush so I only did a one pass shave and this razor gave me a DFS+ on that one WTG pass. This soap is really good, I could have done 5 passes with the lather generated by about a pea sized portion of the soap. The brush is one of my older brushes, and still has original boar knot (I believe) which is still in good shape. Brush was a little floppier than I like but still did the job well.

    I apologize for my delay in posting this Thursday shave. Got busy Thursday and then had surgery on my left hand Friday morning and won't be shaving for a couple days while the hand heals and I can start using it again.

    Happy OCtober and great shaves everyone.

    First shave with the Senator and I am very pleased with it. Super close shave without sacrificing comfort. I’m happy I have it in my collection.
