Thanks. Wish I could tell you a great story about the truck, but the truth is I don’t know anything about it. My wife picked it up from a 2nd hand store, I believe. It is not from the time period, though.

SOTD 1/29/2018
RAZOR(S): Dorco Pace SD507 Long Handle (L-in pic) & Bic 1 Single Blade (R-in pic)
BLADE: Single Edge Disposables
PREP: hot water face wash with Ivory soap
PRE SHAVE: used Erasmic Shave stick on face; face lathered with the boar brush
SOAP: Erasmic Shave Stick - this is my 8th go around with this soap - used as a PRE SHAVE
BRUSH: VDH Boar - from the Van Der Hagen Premium Shave Set - 11th use from new
CREAM: Gillette Venus (with OLAY) Vanilla Cashmere shave gel - applied by hand.
POST SHAVE: Hot water rinse
AFTER SHAVE: Aqua Velva Ice Blue
BALM: Nope

Trying out some economy SE disposable blades. Been missing my 1st razor - Schick Adjustable Injector - that I lost decades ago.
Used BOTH razors, the Bic 1 on the LEFT side of my face; the Dorco Pace Single Blade on the RIGHT. Comparable performance from both razors.
Got a nice, smooth 2-pass almost BBS shave. Unfortunately by mid-day, I could feel some stubble under the chin - so really DFS.
I still haven't gotten the hang of this Erasmic stick soap. It feels more like a wax candle than a shave soap. I soak it in water but really no bloom.
I rubbed the pre-soaked Erasmic stick on my face, and lathered the thin soap as a pre-shave. The lather always dissipates as soon as I stop.
I then applied the Gillette Venus over the top of it to get wonderful cushion and slickness. What a GREAT vanilla scent!
Have a good week.

Shavettes and Jeeves January!

January 29
Razor - 1947 Gillette Super Speed
Blades - (1)
Soap - Jeeves of Hudson Street Bay Rum
Brush - Jayaruh #46
Post -Alum

After a fairly bloody week around here, especially for me, I decided to go out in January with a couple of easy, nice, fun shaves. I'm staying with Jeeves to the end but went to the '47 Super Speed with a Voskhod. American brass, Russian steel. No better combination. I used the JR46 with Maggard knot for a great luxurious lather and took my time on two passes and touch ups for a nice DFS. After the blood and irritation from last night this was almost a decadent December moment.

I'm going to do one more day with this setup and then I'm starting February a day early. For those who haven't seen it in passing in the 30DC, February is all about favorite gear. Choose a favorite razor, brush, soap, or multiples and use them. Or, if you are trying to find a favorite, try some stuff out and find a new favorite. Or, of course, just focus on what you want or do the rule you need. You know how we stand on formality around here. We DON'T.

For now, two more days in the month and we have had another great one. Poll results in the 30DC still show that we are bunch of "up to no good" types and I'm fine with that. And hopefully some of you who intended to work through some soap stock got that done as well. As for me and soaps? I'm loaded even heavier than when the month began. Way heavier. Have a great Tuesday!

Its fun
