    Good morning gents!

    1968 N4 Gillette Slim Adjustable (9)
    Rockwell DE Blade (?)
    JR #386 Silvertip Badger Brush
    Stirling Bay Rum SS and AS
    Dickenson's Unscented WH (not pictured)
    Nivea for Men ASB (not pictured)
    Whiskers: 24 hrs

    This morning I decided to switch razors to bring out my Slim Adjustable because it is more efficient than my Red Tip.
    The JR #386 whipped up a nice, creamy and slick lather. I only needed 2 passes and minor touchups for a near BBS shave with no mishaps.
    Splashed on the WH, the AS and the ASB in that order. I usually splash the AS at the end, but I figured the balm would lessen the sillage since I will be at work today and don't want to offend anyone with the strong Bay Rum scent. Have a great day gents! 20210113_183718.jpg

    Gillette 50+ or Older Focus Week
    Thursday January 14, 2021
    Razor: 1914 Gillette Single Ring
    Blade: Gillette Spoiler (3)
    Brush: @Graydog Quilt
    Soap: Lakewood SOCP (1508.5 Project)
    AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
    AS 2: Skin Bracer
    Fragrance: Penhaligon's Lothair

    Back to the 1508.5 Project. Man it seems so often.........................like every other day we do this [​IMG] Holding to tub to the light I see a faint donut hole beginning. Yay !! Today we took it up a notch to over 100 years with a 1914 Dated Single Ring. These were my nemisis' that I tamed and now get amazingly close shaves in comfort now. Although I like shiny things especially my razors, I love the age and patina on this razor and leave it that way. Chilly start to the work day but heading to the low 50's today and I'll take it. Powdery goodness of the Skin Bracer mixed with the Peppery goodness of the Lothair and we're ready for the day.......................after some more coffee !!! Have a tremendous day Everyone !

    OneBlade Genesis V2
    Feather FHS-10
    MrEE with SHD 2 Band
    Mike’s Bay Rum
    Captain’s Choice Bay Rum Aftershave

    [​IMG]​

    The meds seem to be working and I am feeling much better today. The MrEE brush loaded and lathered Mike's Bay Rum with ease. This is my favorite bay rum soap by a wide margin. I saw the OneBlade Genesis on the shelf and realized I have not used it recently. So I loaded up a fresh blade and went with a normal 3 pass routine. A few touch ups allowed me to catch the baby with ease. The OneBlade never fails to deliver an automatic drama free shave. I hope everyone has a great Thursday.

    Hockey is back. My NY Rangers will start their season with the hated NY Islanders (Icelanders). Boy did I miss this sport. Unfortunately, due to this COVID nonsense, the jury is still out whether my son and I will get to MSG this year for a game. We have a great time. Dinner before the game and then some snacks during to go with the atmosphere in the building. Priceless.

    Excellent shave this morning. Easy three pass shave has become the standard this week with this Gillette focus. I have a smooth and velveteen face, @jgreenepa, that is ready for another fun filled day. Closing in on another end of the week and a meet up with Joe, @Trigger, for breakfast on Saturday. Let the high jinx continue. Feel free to join us. Have a great day gentlemen.

    Fantastic shave Joe! Sorry, but I was an Islander fan. I gave up watching all sports. Anthony and you looked like you had a great time. Looking forward to our breakfast together.

    4th shave in the Gillette focus.

    Solid three pass shave with the pre-war Tech. The Feather was still smooth and I think I will bin it after the shave tomorrow. The Mitchell’s Wool Fat is hard to beat. Just a touch of alum this morning. Applied a nice splash of Pinaud Clubman Aftershave Lotion stank. :)

    It was 24 degrees on the way to work. :Animatedfrozensmily:

    Take care and have a wonderful day gentlemen. You too Gary. :D
