This Pipe was today’s choice in the ongoing 5/8 and 11/16 rotation. A little more touch up than I’d have liked, probably needs a refresh.

Barrister and Mann~~Parker~~1958 D3 Gillette/Personna 74
Have a great day!​

 

Tomorrow(Thurs) I decided to buck my "Throwback" tradition and go with "comfort" instead. Quite hot day coming, thus:

prep-Nivea 4 Men Bodywash(Energy)in shower
shav-Gillette Foamy Original(can)
razor-Gillette Sensor Deuce Pivot + DisposeABLE
A.S.-Stoylin Glacial Lime.

Course the Foamy qualifies(1949), but I like to get more than one item qualifying.

 

Carbon Cx-Ti (++) & Kai SS
Knothead 28mm Tux Resin/African Blackwood
CBL Tonsorial Steel Grey Fougere soap/Knothead soap bowl
Nivea Vitalizing a/s Lotion
John Varvatos Artisan Eau de Toilette

Sublime shave. The Carbon with the Kai pairing is a match made in heaven (for me at least). Smooth, efficient and nearly carefree with the aid of the CBL soap. Good enough. Time for a 3 finger pour of JW Green Label. A wonderful evening and shaves to all....​

 

Shavezee, gem stainless ptfe blade, shave 4


Changed up the soap and still the same result. Blade is no good and not a soap issue. Either it was no good from the get go or I burnt it out on the first shave in a razor that wasn't really mean't to use this blade. Either way the blade was a Dudley.

​

 

Very nice razor, Karl.

 

Nice, Gus.

 

Thank you, Primo...
