PAA Bakelite Slant with a vintage Wilkinson. Once I figured out the somewhat awkward shallow angle to adopt on the head shave this worked out pretty well, though touch up with the Shake Sharp still smoothed things out considerably. Beard was a beautiful no drama BBS. Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

Sunday's action: L'Oreal Men Expert Facial Wash Razorock Plissoft 26 mm Monster Super Speed Astra day 7 Stirling Black Ice SS Lucky Tiger AS Cream Reef Point Fougere Santal AS Splash The Black Ice is the mini version of the Glacial Obsidian and it's a terrific soap with a very similar anise scent, wonderful lather, and still quite cold. Great skincare as well like all of Rod's products. The Lucky Tiger balm and this Reef Point aftershave are magnificent!
Today's shave Hot water wash with Nivea men's face wash and a washcloth @Jayaruh ole#7/ whipped dog silvertip Bombed Soap Commander Endurance Parker Variant (3.5) Persona Crystal (4) Iced Lustray Blue Spice Today's shave was nice. Pretty much prefect. Great feeling brush, nice cool slick cushiony lather. Three passes with a great razor and still sharp blade. Finished with iced blue spice. I'm smooth as silk and smelling nice. Hope y'all did as well, or better.
Now here you go showing off hot vintage gear after having supped up modern accoutrements. I haven't even tried an Alum Block yet for post shave. Another fantastic setup and no doubt an epic shaving experience overall to use.
