    Happy Thursday all! One day past mid-week yet not close enough to Friday and the weekend for my liking! Oh well angst aside we press on!

    I am a fan of what have been called “aggressive” razors and own a few...Blackland Dart, Timeless Bronze OC .78, Muhle R41 and the iKon Standard/Tech to name a few. I love them for what they are, keen destroyers of stubble. However, with a nice blade, a simple Gillette Tech can get it done no muss and no fuss. So today, I decided to reach for said razor(s) as I have a few. This one was gifted to me from a friend down in Texas who I started my wet shaving journey with and have quite a few of his razors in my collection. A true gentleman and a knowledgeable proponent of the wet shaving world. This one dates to 1938-45 complete with triangular slots in the base plate and the like. Loaded up with a fresh GSB.

    Today’s soap RazoRock Nomad which is a lovely mix of creamy woods, spices and musk. Quite nice really though not what you would call a summer scent. I love to grab it whenever because the scent is really In my wheelhouse.

    Three passes with a little buffing and BBS achieved. Always amazed at how well a simple Tech can mow it down. I will be going on a run of Techs. Topped it off with the matching AS and some B&BW Noir which is a great match. Take care folks and enjoy your shaves.

    British New long comb made for the French market. Mild and smooth shave I would opine it is about the same as an American New long comb.
