Today I used Gillette Bostonian? Circa 22? Serial number 26A? This model differs from all I've seen becsuse the end knob is patterned after the bulldog knurling. Either it was swapped out (but it has the same silver finish) or came from Gillette as an oddball. Because of the strangely low serial number, was it from leftover parts? What do y'all think?
Tuesday, October 11, 2016 Simpson Chubby 3 Manchurian Panna Crema Nuavia Verde Timeless OC with UFO TiTAN Fine L Personna 74 #10 Barrister and Mann Reserve Cool
Razor: Gillette OC Blade: Personna Platinum (3) Brush: El Druida Red Heart Chakte Kok/African Blackwood 2 Band Badger. Soap: Eufros Tierra Humeda Aftershave: Myrsol F./Extra I have been getting some very close comfortable shaves with this razor. The Personna Platinum works very well for me. This has to be one of my favorite shave brushes both in appearance and functionality. I believe it could whip up a great lather with a bar of soap.

SOTN OCtober 11th Old Type clone Super-Max Platinum (2) Arko Satin Tip The Purest Lime AS and Nivea Sensitive ASB Good morning friends! Last nights shave with the Old Type clone was fantastic! Much more efficient then my actual Old Type. The Super-Max showed that it is much more comfortable when working with lesser growth and might be a good option for those who shave daily as it is a very smooth blade and it is very inexpensive coming in at under $8 per hundred. Three passes brought home the baby and my homemade lime AS and Nivea ASB left me feeling silky smooth and relaxed and ready for bed. Have a great Wednesday my friends!

A couple of attempts at using the straight razor demonstrated just how uncomfortable I am using it. However I didn't draw blood so that's good. Finished up with the Timeless, now that's a smooth razor! Smooth and clean I am. Good day all!
Thanks, it was a collaboration with @Dzia Dzia . I made the brush, and he finished it. I ended up adding the bumblee bee on the side.

TabOCtober 12 SOTD: Razor: 1920's Gillette OLD Type, thin bar handle Blade: Gillette 7O'Clock Yellow (1) Brush: Maggard Razors 24mm Synthetic, purple handle Lather: Tabac AS: Tabac Tryed a Gillette 7O'Clock Yellow for the first time today. The results were good, but the shave was a bit rough. I assume the roughness was just the blade needing to be broken-in.
