TD Tuesday Solid shave with Test Depth today. It lathers very easily and the scent is classy. It pairs well with Gondolier. My Aristocrat is a very good razor. Nice and smooth with the Voskhod blade. I had some irritation at the bottom of my neck from too much touch up. I'll know better next time. Prep: Proraso White Soap: Reef Point Test Depth Brush: HIS Razor: 1949 Gillette Aristocrat Blade: Voskhod (2) AS: HTGAM Gondolier cologne and lotion

I must say I had a most delightful shave with my Glacial Lavender soap. My large Turkish horsehair barbershop brush whipped up some terrific lather which froze my face off, and gave a lovely lavender scent with brilliant skincare. Man, I'm crazy about that soap!

Rooney 3/1 Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet cream War era Gold Gillette Fat Handle Tech NOS Wilkinson Sword "Light Brigade" Chromium Edge blade (1) what may be the smoothest blade ever made, for me at least. Awful close anyway to a Personna 74. WTG, XTG, AGT, smooth as silk Floid Blue After Shave Floid Blue EdT I like these blades about as well as P74s but they're much harder to get a hold of, even if they are cheaper.
I had a wonderful 3 pass shave today. Superior lather with superior technique and great equipment translates into a superior shave. french soap mix W/ TOBS Rose Rapira Swedish Slim Adjustable MDC is very hard to beat.
TUESDAY My first go with a 'fresh off the bench' Case Red Imp, 5/8 Square point. I had disassembled this razor some time ago and finally got around to getting it all put back together after a thorough cleaning, painting and honing. I used the Escher for finishing the edge. For the inaugural shave, I used MdC Fougére applied with my Eveready boar brush. Very smooth 3-pass shave! Finished with Ogallala Bay Rum AS. A superb shave! Have a great Tuesday, all!
