Pre: Cold water splash

Razor: Gillette Single Ring 1918
Blade: Polsilver Łódź
Post: Cold water rinse, Pitralon Classic ASL

A wet and dreary afternoon here, a comforting shave to the rescue.
Happy Shaving one and all.

 

Probak/Short Comb. I hypothesize these are both really Autostrop folks designs, the edge I give to the Short Comb for a bit more effectiveness going ATG on my head but they're both very capable razors which I prefer over any of the Long Comb/Flat Bottom/Deluxe variants. Fresh Treet Platinum in both.

Saturday's Plan:

prep-Nivea 4 Men Bodywash(COOL)in shower
shave-Burma Shave Cake Soap
brush-Stoylin "lil brudder" Synthetic
razor-Gillette Sensor Deuce Pivot DisposeABLE
A.S.-Aqua Velva Classic Ice Blue

This shave could be like the IcyHot pain relief product. Or Maybe the Aqua Velva will take control,. But I'd like to bring back the Burma Shave for more work.

 

I wish you would post a bad picture once in awhile.
Great work Doc.

 

Good line up Paul.

 

Very nice Andrew.

 

Great picture with a excellent green colors.

 

Excellent photograph of fine shaving products Gary. Beautiful brush!

 

Thank you Doug!

 

Thanks Doug...I'm hoping the shave soap could be one that works with many aftershaves.

 

Great shave today, from a "Possible American Made Razor". I had a smooth 2 pass shave, that left me smooth as silk. Zero issues.

Razor- Bengalia. J.J.-N.Y..
Soap- Kingsman, "Bourbon", by The Art of Shaving.
Brush- JR #262. WD Badger.
Aftershave- Pinaud Clubman

 

Good picture and setup Scott.

 

LOVE that razor.

 

lol. That would put Guy in my level.

 

I don't think so Joseph.

 

After some enjoyable PMs with @Bird Lives I decided it was time to let my straights rest a bit and indulge in some of my favorite single edge razors. The Floating-Head Personna with a Twin blade is one of the best shaves you can get. How could I resist?
