    Last night's shave featuring:
    • 1930s British Gillette "The New" head pieces mated to an original 2010 Cooncat Bob's Razor Works Bull Mastiff XL flare-tip handle with magnet in the end of the flare-tip.
    • 1960s NOS Schick Super Stainless Steel DE blade
    • 1970s NOS Gillette Regular Lather Shave Cream
    • 2011 Semogue 410; restored for me by Jeff @stingraysrock with 24mm TGN Super Silver Tip 3-band badger hair knot replacing original boar hair knot
    • 2012 Japanese suribachi bowl - 7-inch diameter; perfection for whipping up lather!
    • Yoda! :yoda
    Result: Super fantastic! Baby slimy dolphin butt smooth! :happy102:

    Friday's Shave
    [​IMG]

    Cold Water Rinse
    Archaic Eureka Shave Soap
    Jayaruh #217
    Gillette New DeLuxe Tuckaway
    Personna Super (54)
    CWR
    Pinaud Citrus Musk EDC

    The Archaic Eureka Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #217 Synthetic Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette New DeLuxe Tuckaway with a Personna Super Blade (54) gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Pinaud Citrus Musk EDC. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Razor: Gillette Fatboy E2- Mfg 1959 2qtr, great historical razor, good weight and built to last. Good shave as usual.
    Blade: Gillette Wilkinson sword saloon (2) smooth & sharp with reasonable longevity.
    Soap: Proraso green eucalyptus, mid range menthol eucalyptus scent, great lather qualities.
    Brush: Yaqi 24mm Cashmere knot, new brush, soft feel, excellent lather generator, heavenly cloud like soft tips, gentle scrub + great lather painter.
    Pre shave: Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on the cleaned beard area.
    Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG(setting7) + ATG (setting 8)+ pickups.
    Post shave: Proraso green lotion with witch hazel + a dollop of Nivea balm.
    Results: CCS, DFS,BBS + no irritation + no weepers = [​IMG] excellent shave with my Gillette Fatboy with a Gillette Wilkinson coated blade.
