    Grandpa Shave Friday

    Hot Shower
    1912 Gem Jr. (Metal Handle)
    Williams Soap
    Dickinson's WH
    Corn Huskers Lotion
    English Leather

    English Leather was my Dad's go to fragrance and using it always makes me think of him. He was the original OldGI (before I was even born). He flew combat missions over North Africa in 1941 during the big war (Ball Turret Gunner on a B-17). Here's to ya Pop!
     
  2. After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:

    Heh.....no brush(Geezer day shave)
    fatboy/Feather
    vintage canned Old Spice SC
    Lucky Tiger AS
    vintage Old Spice AS(used as cologne)

    My third time using canned stuff in the last three years, with another very nice shave as the results. Yeah, I really don't think a brush is needed for a high quality shaving experience. This old canned cream provides plenty of protection, with good slip and post shave skin care.

    Very pleasant BBS shave this morning,

    Martin

    Today was my first day with my new boar. I have to admit, even before break in, I am impressed.
    For Grandpa shave Friday, I wanted to do a Superspeed, because he used a red-tip, but I ended up going with something else from that period. It was begging to be used. I also know that he was a boar guy. :) The rest was picked at random. :)

    Iridium Super
    Knotty Badger Boar
    Erasmic cream
    Adidas Ice Dive splash

    I apparently got a bad Iridium. Felt super dull, which is the opposite of my previous experiences, swapped it after 2 strokes, and it was much better.

    Grandpa Shave Friday

    Friday

    Razor: Gillette #58
    Blade: Gillette Yellow
    Brush: Rooney SMF Special
    Soap: Tabac
    A/S: Osage Rub

    The Gillette #58 is not as aggressive as I like but I managed a 4 pass BBS shave. The Tabac (as usual) was wonderful and the Osage Rub provided a nice face freeze on what will prove to be a very hot day (Santa Ana winds).

    Grandpa Shave Friday

    Did the Friday Grandpa Shave today.

    Razor: 1963 Gillette Slim Adjustable (on 4) with Astra Superior blade on shave #2

    Soap or cream: Cella soap/cream (“family made since 1899”)

    Brush: Vulfix boar--OK, not from Grandpa’s era , but it may be similar to the brushes used by both my grandpas. I face lathered the Cella.

    After shave: Ogallala Bay Rum, a modern rendition of a favorite vintage scent from Grandpa’s day.

    I have to admit that neither of my grandpas was Italian, but I’m really getting to like the Cella. Grandpa would have loved it. The shave was refreshing and a whisker’s width away from BBS.

    The Grandpa Shave is always fun and a good motivator for me to get out one of my vintage razors and exercise it while indulging in a little nostalgia. I’m not a collector, but do enjoy a shave with an old razor from time to time. I’m looking forward to next Friday.

    Not overwhelmingly so, but it's definitely not mild. It's also very pleasant.

    Love this cream.
