    Gillette 195
    New Improved
    Rockwell Swedish Stainless

    Be proud of me. I remembered Menthol Monday. The CO Bigelow Shaving Cream face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #182 Synthetic brush. I did the first pass with the Gillette 195 razor on 6 and Rockwell Swedish Stainless blade and second/clean up pass with my New Improved, and I ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse and alum block, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Florida Water AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

  10. I wish I could "afford" to be able to have a week devoted to the gear of Bill Neumann. I had some samples about a year back....liked them. 1911 was my favorite, as I recall.
  11. I haven't paid full price for none of the six I have. BST purchases and two when they had them on sale on the site, once for Christmas the other when their site was down couple of days so they had 25% off if I recall.

  15. Hello everyone, good morning! Here's a photo of my OC SOTD for today, -

    [​IMG]

    Today's shave was done with my 1910 Sunburst pattern ABC set Scroll razor, a 1948 Gillette blade, and my Simpsons Duke 2 brush. Software was Caties Bubbles Spanish Holiday, Nivea post shave balm, Pinaud Clubman SR, and 360 Red cologne. It turned out to be atwo pass W/touch up shave. I Score it as a BBS. Really a pretty fantastic shave. These old ABC set Old Type razors are really great. And they look pretty cool too. Have a great night everyone!
