  4. Great photo Hodge. Does your vintage Simm's brush have a wooden handle. I have a couple of vintage Simm's, but they are all plastic.

    Thursday's Shave
    zcws.gif

    Nivea Men Face Wash
    Mitchell's Wool Fat Shaving Soap
    Jayaruh #2
    Gillette Double Ring
    Gillette Silver Blue
    CWR, Asma Alum Block
    Thayer's Lemon WH
    Pinaud Vegetal

    Mitchell's Wool Fat Shaving Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #2 badger brush. I did the two passes with the Gillette Double Ring razor and Gillette Silver Blue blade and 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 Pinaud Vegetal AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Vie-Long
    Fine Snake Bite
    Thayers Medicated

    I'm pretty tired and I think it affected my technique with my shave. Usually my head is the easiest part of the shave, but today I had several knicks.
  8. Thanks Roderick. The Simm's brush does have a wooden handle that I refinished.
    Nice photo Guy. I'm jealous, im still waiting for my Le Grand Chypre to arrive.
  9. Razor: Gillette President (Y1)(1953)
    Blade: Voskhod Teflon Coated (5)
    Brush: Shavemac ATG LE The Rowl Silvertip
    Soap: Nuavia Rossa
    Lucky Tiger Disappearing Cream
    Aftershave: Floid Vigoroso
    Bowl: The Distinctive Goat Sinker Cypress Wood
    Really enjoying the Rossa soap. Much more scent than the Verde in my opinion. Haven't used Lucky Tiger Disappearing Cream for some time and I don't know why. It is great stuff.

  16. Tonight's shave was with an Old razor, that I just restored and honed. I dont know anything about it, other than it's a "Warranted" Stubtail, and it's a full on wedge. It took a sharp edge, and I had a smooth 2 pass shave, that left me with a DFS. Better than I expected.

    Razor- "Warranted" Stubtail Wedge. Horn Scales.
    Brush- B400 By Tom
    Soap- Stirling Glastonbury
    Aftershave- Pinaud Clubman
