You... You must quit it with those brushes!!

2019-06-20, Thursday

Notwithstanding the inexpensive gear, I had a very pleasant shave, today...
The soap fragrance brings me back to the one I smelled going to small perfumeries with mother, in the 50's.
Have not yet found a powdery EdT to match soaps like this and Scheermonnik Delfts Wit, though.
It has been ages since I used it last time and the same for boar brushes.

The Gibbs really is a smooth operator, although the lather from Uplift is lovely and slick.

cool shave sir..

very cool,love the razor..

Thanks Gary. a very clever fellow on ATG made them.

Kevin that is a sweet looking Gibbs. I tried to like the No.17 but couldn't muster a good shave with the NOS Gibb blades , GSB or Kai blades.

Thanks Guy.
I haven't tried the Gibbs or Kai in it but have had great shaves from a GSB and all other blades I've used with it.
She's one of my favourite DEs.
