What a nice shave today!

Merkur 23C/Wilkinson Sword #1
Vie-Long horsehair brush
De Vergulde Hand soap
Cold water splash

It's something personal and about the feeling when you remember people who sent the certain stuff to you. Thank you, Jeff ! What a great soap! Every time I shave with De Vergulde Hand all goes nice and smooth! I even put off AS that days.

Pre-shave soap: Musgo Real Glyce Lime
Razor: EJ Chatsworth
Blade: NOS Gillette Bleue Extra
Brush: Simfix Grosvenor LE Super
Soap: Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet (tallow)
A/S: Thayer's Lemon Witch Hazel, G.F. Trumper Marlborough Splash

A great Sunday shave this morning! I recently acquired a few of the Gillette Bleue Extra blades and wanted to see how they would perform for me. They seem to be in a class similar to Iridium/Astra Superior/Treet DuraSharp, although maybe a bit less smooth than those blades. More shaves will better define my appraisal. The Penhaligon's soap is always a pleasure, and the Trumper Marlborough splash provided an excellent finish.

Cream/Soap: C.O.Bigelow, Proraso
Brush: Semogue 2010 LE
Razor: Gillette 1964 Fatboy named Grorge
Blade: Personna Red
Splash: None
Balm: EJ Sea Buckthorn



Ah, back to my favorite blade! The last week of testing the Voskhod was a drag. That blade proved to be average at best. Reunited with a Personna and I am BBS!

Shave Of The Day - February 20th

• Hot Shower
• E.J. Badger Brush
• Feats of Clay Scuttle
• TSD Wheat Cream ~ Lime Scent + 3 drops M-Bomb
• Travalong Razor
• "Vertical" Derby Brand Blade - Day 1
• Witch Hazel/Osage Rub Blend
• TSD A/S Spalsh ~ 2X Iced Lime :freezing :freezing :freezing
• 

A little tardy in posting my shave from yesterday....

The Travalong turned out to be a bit too aggressive for my liking, and resulted in several weepers, and some minor burn.

The handle is at about a 45 degree angle to the head when assembled, and made it kind of tough to hold easily when going ATG on my left side.

3 blades.

 

Bummer! It looks so cool, I was hoping it would be a good shaver too. Well, at least it looks cool.
