    Received this 1955 flare tip speed razor in the mail yesterday. After cleaning and polishing it I used it for the first time today. Perfect shave! :happy088:

    Out with the old in with the new...well, new old stock anyway. New Year’s Eve shave. Today is a time to reflect on what has been good, bad and indifferent. Take stock of accomplishments and failures...plan for change and work on lessons learned. Despite it having been perhaps the worst year in recent history (for the whole planet) there is still things to be thankful for. Love, life, family and happiness and good friendships.

    Today was all about the NOS stuff. Shulton Old Spice soap in its mug and Musk AS both from Toronto. Never used by me and I must say what they say is true. Our Dad’s had it right! The stuff smells incredible and honestly the soap can shame many a modern day equivalent. So good.

    Razor of choice a NOS 48-50 Gillette A’crat cased and found by my lovely Bride at a thrift store. Complete and shiny as the day it was made and sold. I have shaved with it once before but it had sat in the case too long. Loaded up with a fresh GSB.

    Lathered up and throughly enjoyed a beautiful, three pass shave. Just taking it all in and working through the problems and triumphs of 2020. BBS indeed. Topped it off with some Old Spice Musk AS and VR Spice Bomb! Well, if 2021’s shaves are better than this one it will be a phenomenal year. Let’s hope shall we.

    Take care Sisters and Brothers of the blade, may the New Year bring you and yours joy, health, love and happiness.
