    The WSO was one of the truly top-tier artisan soaps.
    There aren't many soaps that when used up, I will miss. This, however, is one of them.
    Oh, how I regret having sold my two reserve tins :angry017:
    Have a great day!    ​

    A nice short informative post and really outstanding photo. Are the markings on your razor reflections off something , or are they etched into the razor? Just wondering. Nice job, buddy.

    Thanks Bill! The markings aren't actually there this effect is produced by a filter I used for the photograph. :)

    Wed 31st Aug
    Vulfix 404 mixed
    De Vergulde Hand soap
    Schick L1
    Schick single [ 3-Japan]
    Alum Rub/Rinse off Tuff Green A/S

    Had hoped that this mild razor would perform well with the Japanese blade. However this was not to be , and despite not rushing the shave and taking extra strokes the finish was quite patchy and not really acceptable

    Thank you. I have enough drama at work so I try not to grow my own problems. ;) For those that haven't tried your soaps, I would highly recommend they give some a try. I am fairly picky and Route 66 soaps are very good.

    A very nice three pass BBS shave with the Fatboy, Rapira Swedish Supersteel blade, FS Badger brush, Proraso Green soap and Aqua Velva AS. Yeah, I know, no PSO and no Witch Hazel. Kept it to the basics and still a great shave. IMG_0692.jpg

    Hello, today's SOTD was done with-

    1948 Gillette Milord Tech.
    1948 Gillette Blue Blade.
    Chinese Badger hair brush.
    Trumpers GFT shave cream.
    Nivea post shave balm (sensitive).
    Vintage English Leather cologne.

    [​IMG]


    The Gillette Blue Blade from 1948 was as sharp today as it was when it was made. I've gotten some fantastic shaves from these old blades. Today's shave I would rate as a BBS. Have a great evening all!
