    Razor: Gillette Trac II(?)
    Brush: VDH
    Lather: Cremo
    Pre shave oil: Homemade
    A/S: Nivea Balm/Brut splash on
    Newspaper Date: Dec. 9,1943

    Another great shave courtesy of Gillette Trac II, can`t say the same for Cremo, too inconsistent, same routine, different lather. It leaves holidays that you don`t notice, which causes Boo Boos. One pretty good one on my neck. Styptic and cold water took care of it. The 1st pass, ATG smooth until I hit that holiday, wow, a lot of the red stuff, other than that, it performed well. The 2nd pass, WTG/XTG went swimmingly, ended up with something close to a BBS. The best to all (BBSes all over). Hope everyone had a good 4th.

    Fat Tuesday / Tech Tuesday
    Today the US made birth year (Y4) razor came up in rotation. Loaded with a new Voskhod, it is very efficient removing the Fat lather along with any stubble on the face. Finished with a healthy splash of Vintage English Leather And one is ready to start the day. Have a blessed day gentlemen.

    image.jpeg Razor: Gillette 195 Fat Boy (f1) 1960 (5) (3)
    Brush: Jerusalem Olive Wood/WD Silvertip 24/48 by ObiDon 2015
    Mug: Old Spice 1985 Cobalt Blue
    Cream: Route 66 Bourbon Jungle
    Blade: Feather (2)
    Post shave: Thayers Cucumber WH, Jack Black balm, Old Spice original Shulton 1973 glass cologne Stopper #3

    Loaded some Bourbon Jungle on to the Silvertip, which was very fast, as this soap is softer than most, which I like. The Silvertip whipped up some nice thick warm lather, very fast, in my favorite mug. Very nice scent, not overwhelming, but nice. My FB as usual, made quick work in 2 passes WTG XTG. The lather was nice and slick, with good body, and with a little touchup on my neck ATG on 3, gave me a BBS shave! I had enough lather left over for another pass. For the money I see this soap as a great buy, as I have spent much more for less performance. Cleanup was also very nice as this soap does not leave a thick residue on everything as others do, nice! The WH felt good, nice and cool. Then some JB and when it dried, some Old Spice original Shulton 1973 cologne. Y'all have a good one!

    I made a dare I didn't think anyone would take me up on. I underestimated the stupidity fearlessness of my friends on the 30 Day Focus thread.
