--Vintage-Gillette-Shave--

fine flare tip.for me,i find the slim head u.s flare tip and canada market 1965 flare tip rocket more efficient than the 50's versions,they seem to get more done in less time..i still love using the 50's versions though,better plating and slightly heavier so equally enjoyable..

Williams Wednesday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Williams Mug Soap
Semogue Owners Club Boar
1905 Gillette Double Ring
Gillette Super Blue Blade X3
Cold Water Rinse
Derby City Chop Shop Winter Reserve After Shave

The Williams Mug Soap lathered well with the Semogue Owners Club Boar brush. Two passes and touch ups with the 1905 Gillette Double Ring Razor and the Gillette Super Blue Blade X3 gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Derby City Chop Shop Winter Reserve After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

I think this old blade is done after 4 fine shaves. I could probably use it one more time but it may start to tug. So, this was the final shave with a 72 year old blade, that performed just wonderfully.

There’s not a spot of rust on it after been used for over a week. I did tap-dry it after each use.

 

very cool.i would still keep it in the wrapper if you collect them .they keep well in old photo albums..

Trying the Treet blades and so far I am liking them. Smooth, sharp, and perform well in vintage razors.

This shave was completely uneventful, in a good way.

Yet another great shave with a classic Gillette that in the past I haven't liked all that much. I still prefer the Super 84 for its better balance and maneuverability, but this razor is an excellent shaver in its own right. While not as striking looking as Slims / Fatboys, the Super Adjustables seem to be just a little more efficient.

Also really liking the Treet Platinum that I got via the Great Blade Exchange on B&B. The first three shaves I had with it so far have all been smooth and close, with no signs of dulling.

 

fine friday shaves with iconic gillettes..

 

Thank you
