    Took the 126 out for a spin again. Now, in between uses, I keep the cap and comb loose. When I began, I was amazed at how aggressive the shave began, then I realized it need to be tightened.
    The 100-102 were touted as being adjustable based on how you tightened the cap to the comb.
    After locking down the cap & comb, the shave was like butter.

    Razor: Gillette 126 1928 Big Fellow (Gold)
    Blade: Gillette 7 O’Clock SharpEdge Yellow
    Brush: Star Ivory Handle Restore
    Pre-Shave: Georgetown Pottery G12 Scuttle
    Lather: PdP No. 63 Puck
    Aftershave: Pre de Provence No. 63 Balm
    Additional Care:
    Classic Match Supreme Oud

    1BFCAFEF-AEB0-417A-94B4-3C851A6A33B4.jpeg So let’s carry on with the OCs. Today’s ritual fell to just about one the prettiest razor I have in the collection, the 1938-39 Sheraton. This one is also courtesy of Chris Spencer at BackRoadsGold and plated in 24k. Stunning looker and a phenomenal shaver. I would rate this particular razor as middle of the road on the aggression scale and slightly more so than my 34/35 OC Aristocrat. Loaded up with any good DE blade and it is a smooth shaver.

    Soap of the day was B&M Seville just to keep with the barbershop theme. Great scent and between the CBL and RazoRock this week this one is the more vibrant scent. Great performer.

    Loaded up the same brush I have used all week and went to town. By the way if you are looking for a great brush with some good backbone and scritch this is one you might want to take a look at. Rocky Mountain Barber Company, which they say is Best Badger but I don’t know because it has more scritch (which I enjoy) than any Best Badger I own. I got mine when they first came out Oct 2017 and have been impressed ever since.

    Proceeded to get through a very nice two pass DFS which for a Friday was thoroughly enjoyed. Take care, safe travels and happy shaves all! We The North!
