That's one thing I like about the Lucky Tiger brands-they show right on the bottle the year they began. I think Mennen products should follow suit and put in THEIR opening year of 1931(for Skin Bracer, anyway).

The D gave way to the E1 and today I continued the progression with the F. Perhaps my all time favorite looking razor. The end result is a practically flawless dolphin smooth shave. It felt slightly harsh compared to the D and the E1. At first I thought it might be the blade but as far as I can tell it was only shave number three on it. Still a top notch shave.

Wed. 9/20/17 Shave Razor: Gillette SS Blade: Wilkinso Sword (4) Lather: Proraso Green AS: Brut Splsh On Pre-Shave: Home Made Newspaper Date: 7/27/1943 A very good shave this morning (7:00 am). WTG/ATG a tiny bit of clean-up. `Methinks` the addition of Proraso makes all the difference in the world, even though I got it a little bit thinner than I wanted. I`m not sure it wasn`t better. My razor just flew over my face with grace, not too fast not to enjoy every stroke. With God`s Speed to all. Bill
I really love that scuttle. Saw one in an antique shop almost a twin, slightly darker green and it had a chip on the spout and the handle was too large. Your`s is perfecto.......Bill

Thursday's SE Shave Proraso Pre Shave Arko Extra Performance Jayaruh #216 Gem Featherweight CVS SE CWR Thayer's Lemon WH Vegetal I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Arko Extra Performance Shaving Cream face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #216 synthetic brush. I did two passes with the Gem Featherweight razor and a CVS SE blade. I ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Clubman Vegetal AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Tonight's shave was with a freshly restored, and honed razor. I had a very smooth and silent 2 pass shave, that left me BBS. Zero issues. These Old Wosty Pipe Wedges are fantastic shavers. Razor- Geo Wostenholm & Sons, "Pipe Razor". Wedge ground. Brush- Vie Long Horse Hair Cream- Proraso Sandalwood Aftershave- Florida Water
Were you an Old Spice salesman back in the day, Doug?!? Your collection is ridiculous!! (and I mean that in a good way, if that's not obvious).
