    No sir, but if you zoom in, you can see it's not a perfect finish. It's seen some use prior my acquiring it, but it was apparently gentle use.

    Hi everyone, here's today's SOTD:

    [​IMG]

    Today's shave was done with my 1946 Gillette Milord, and a Gillette Blue Blade. Other shave products were; Proraso Red shave cream and soap uberlather, Nivea post shave balm, Pinaud Clubman as splash, and Safari cologne. Also used was my Chi-Com Silvertip badger brush. A two pass DFS was the end result. God Bless, and have a great day!

    I wasn't going to do this until tomorrow, but since I didn't shave yesterday, why not. I entered into the service of the Dark Side. Basically I just took my time and was surprised that I only had two tiny weepers caused by trying to trim around my goatee. I wasn't going for a BBS shave as I was trying not to slice open my throat and went with one pass WTG. No cold water today, went with hot as I felt I might be better with it until I get my technique down better. So overall, I was pleased that it was a decent DFS and didn't need towels to wipe up any spilled blood.

    Another evening shave
    Everything's done, quiet Friday in. Been a hot week in Florida. I showered for prep.
    Then,
    Hot water wash with a washcloth
    Semouge SOC
    Bombed The Shave Den Barber Shoppe
    Gillette slim (j2)(7)
    Rockwell razors Swedish stainless blade (1)
    Pinaud Clubman
    I'm digging getting ready for bed with a bbs shave. Tonight three passes with the birthyear/quarter slim. Loaded with the Rockwell blade, it made for a very smooth comfy shave. The ShaveDen soap made great rich yogurty lather. Finished with clubman. I'm very comfy.
    Hope y'all did as well, or better. 20170728_192955_resized.jpg

    Shave #3 with this duo, and the absolute best one so far. Dialed in the Pall Mall and it was just superb giving just the right amount of blade feel but maintaining excellent smoothness and efficiency. The Sabre was on point, smooth and cool as the other side of the pillow. Both gave me an amazing BBS shave. Finished off with the RR Acqua and the CK ONE Summer pairing beautifully. Have a great evening and shaves Gents..... :happy088:

    Razors: Wilkinson Pall Mall / Blackland Sabre
    Blade: GEM SS PTFE #6 & #11
    Brush: RR F-400 XXL
    Soap: RR Mudder Focker
    Astringent: DG/Body
    W/H: Humphreys Citrus
    A/S Splash: RR Acqua
    Cologne: CK ONE Summer (2016 Edition)
