  3. I’m in...OCtober is a fave focus for sure! I’ll focus on my DE OCs as a few of the SE versions just got a run. As well, there are a few soaps I’ll continue to try and get through. Looking forward to the month.

  4. Sorry guys! I don't own any OC razors. It will be an Optional October for me. I will have the option to choose any razor in my den for one, two or three shaves in a row.

    Shaving recipe for today.

    Pre:

    Cold wet flannel to my face & head.
    Simple ~ Sensitive Bar Soap + Wilko Men's shave Oil.

    Bowl Lather.
    Soap : Tabac.

    Razor: 1940's Thin Handle Gillette Flat Bottom Tech. (ENG)


    Post:
    Cold Water Face Rinse./Homemade peppermint lavender, eucalyptus, + Tea Tree Oil Witch Hazel Mixture./ Tabac ASL./Aloe Vera Gel.

    Greetings,

    Starting October off in style with a face & head shave using my vintage Gillette tech paired together with the Indian Gillette 7'O Clock SP which has excelled itself feeling smooth and efficient with each shave throughout the week.
    The design of both the flat bottom & ball end techs seems to hold the blade more rigidly making both vintage ladies a joy shave with.A pleasurable near BBS face & head shave with no errors to report...Finishing to the shave off with a generous dollop of Aloe Vera Gel.

    My face & precious swede are feeling super smooth & smelling of old school divine goodness.;)

    Stay safe, and enjoy your Day ladies & gentlemen.:cool:

    When you need to help mechanics, you use it in superlathering.
    When you need to help smell, do you use it in superfragrancing?

    OCtober Shave # 1
    DE Shave # 290

    Rating: 5 / 5

    Razor: Fatip Grande Open Comb
    Blade: Gillette 7 O'Clock (Green)
    Brush: Whipped Dog Butterscotch 24 mm
    Lather: Declaration Grooming Darkfall
    Aftershave: Declaration Grooming Darkfall
    Additional Care:
    Barbero Alum Block
    Thayer's Witch Hazel - Aloe Vera

    jist finished up a rocking SEptember and the final September of my work career. Wonderful on both counts. Yes, the countdown has begun.

    For the focus of this month, I will use my OC razors during the weeekdays and leave the weekends to the others in my den.

    I have been looking forward to using Darkfall since mid September when I began my samples’ shaves. This soap and splash is just awesome. I missed out on obtaining the EdT this past weekend as it sold out quickly.

    Excellent three pass, close shave but I will have to bin the blade as it was the fifth shave. Smelling good! Here’s’s to a fun OCtober.:eatdrink013:
