Thank you Gary! I believe this particular Schick is my favorite Schick shaver. It glides better then the L type. And with the Chinese made blade this combination provides a luxurious shave!

This particular Schick is circa 1953 - such a great looking design

SOTD January 16

F.W. Soderen Guldmedal Eskilstuna

Heirloom Razor Strop Co. Old No2 Horsehide

WCS two tone tall silver badger 26mm

CBL Premium Shaving Soap T - Fusion Dragon's Blood

Floid

I honestly didn't think I needed any splash, the post shave on this soap is just wonderful. But Floid paired well with the post shave.

The scent on this soap is as expected, amazing.

For Sunday(17th):

brush-Stoylin "li'l brudder".

Otherwise, same as today(Sir Hare&Stoylin).

Saturday shave:
Weekend in Malibu soap
Everready 100 brush with synthetic knot
Moroccan cedar and mint balm
Vintage Gillette Blue blade
1941 Ranger Tech razor

Figured out that I have this razor in my collection and did not even know it was somewhat rare...just thought it was an early iteration of the more common superspeed.

awesome gillettes gentlemen...very cool..

46 - ?? Ranger, Bic Chrome Platinum, shave 4


Reshave to confirm if this was or wasn't the same as the first iteration of the 40s style super speed. Answer is no and I screwed up on my initial impressions. It is a very close shave but no BBS cigar for under the chin. It would probably get someone with finer hair across that line though.

Nice, efficient Saturday shave.

The entire setup is beautiful Jim!

1969 Rotbart tto razor
(brit Slimtwist clone)
Schick Plus Platinum
Razorock Barber 24 synthetic
Taconic Shave Cream-Urban Woods
Razorock Tuscan Oud Splash​

Technically it is a Gillette under the Rotbart brand name. Cool piece though since you don't see much later model Rotbart stuff like that razor.

Thanks, Joe!

Nice shot. The wiley Eigengrau label sometimes makes capturing the effect of that reflective ice a challenge.
