Tuesday, June 18 AoS Peppermint~~Rooney 24mm Style 3~~'40 Milord Tech~~Feather~~Vintage Aqua Velva Have a great day!
That textured Aqua Velva bottle jarred my memory back to the 60s. I recall using my Dad's AV Frost Lime splash when I first started shaving. IIRC, that bottle was more "frosty" in appearance. Kind of etched all over. The Ice Blue you have looks like......well, ice. Unless you keep it in the fridge.
Looks like AV had a couple of different "finishes" on their glass bottles. The one I remember is the smoother looking one on the left.

SHAVE OF THE DAY Prep: Occams Crushed Lime Pre Shave Soap Razor: Maggard MRG Blade: Rapira SS Brush: Fine Angel Hair Synthetic Soap: Oleo Soapworks Excursion Post: CL TSM Fougere salve Nice refreshing shave this morning. Excursion smells familiar, like a Creed fragrance, it is aquatic and fresh. Whipped up a creamy lather in the VDH bowl that provided a smooth shave. No burning issue like I had with Treviso, which is wonderful since this soap base is excellent. Finished off with TSM Fougere salve which is soothing and moisturizing plus has a nice scent. Hope everyone is doing well and getting great shaves!

Tuesday June 19,2018 Razor: Merkur 34c Blade: 1/2 Personna Blue DE (1) Pre Shave: DIY Lather: Proraso Red Brush: VDH Badger AS: Mennen afta Newspaper Date: Feb. 2, 1944 Just got the 34c, so I had to take the bull by the horns and slowly work my way through without a pivot ( I think I just broke my arm, patting myself on the back). Any-hoo, I got through with just 1 tiny weeper, cold water cured that. I have an almost BBS shave. A little irritation. I`ve been dependent on the pivot for the correct angle for so long, I had difficulty finding it. Didn`t start shaking until the last couple strokes on my upper lip. Two passes, WTG/ATG, some clean up, some afta and I`m good to go. I must apologize for the newspaper pics, I`m going back to the drawing board on those. Happy Camper, God Bless. Bill
Pre: Cold water face wash Brush: Maseto 24mm ST Soap: The Sudsy Soapery Lavender & Peppermint Razor: Rex Supply Co. Ambassador @4 (on loan) Blade: Polsilver Lodz Post: Cold water rinse, Alcolado Glacial Splash It's been over thirty two hours since my last shave, a good test for the Ambassador I thought. So in with a new blade and out with another very slick soap and a very good shave ensued. My best shave with it so far but The Sudsy Soapery is possibly my slickest soap and the Lodz is my favourite DE blade so I was expecting a top notch shave. Happy Shaving one and all.
A Great Monday Night shave... 6/18/18 Wilkie boar brush, Wilkie Shave Stick, Wilkie DE RAZOR, Gillette Wilkie DE blade from India - AWESOME Blade,also this razor is underrated - very mild and surprisingly efficient.... used PAA CaD pre shave soap and star jelly. LUSTRAY blue spice is decent, scent does not last at all - have had this bottle for over 2 years and i never reach for it.. peace -Jamie
