Razor.. Gillette fat boy
Blade.. rapira platinum lux
Brush.. restored rubberset
Soap.. tabac

I think I've found that tabac might be the slickest soap out there.

 

Nice shave with a aluminum Tech and a Feather. First time with the Baby Blue thanks to a heads up by razorburb123. The Cade and Proraso balm always great software.

 

Saturday 25th April



Warm shower
Hot towel
RazoRock Cumba Cheech bowl lathered
Finest Badger brush made by myself
Gillette Executive Adjustable (D3 1958) on 7
Gillette Nacet Stainless (1)
Cold rinse
Thayers Superhazel
Myrsol Antesol aftershave

First time shaving with the Nacet blade, lovely ! sharp and smooth.

 

Today was supposed to be an off day but my Becker scuttle arrived yesterday and I had to give it a test run. Wow it's really nice!. It allowed me to make an excellent warm lather with Proraso & my SOC. Just a quick single pass shave with my Schick G1, rinse, splash of WH & Barbasol aftershave. Off to my son's baseball game. He's pitching today..............

 

25 April Shave



http://theshaveden.com/forums/threads/saiver-twin-bladed-de-razor-from-russia.36683/​

 

After 2 weeks with MDC I decided to restart a rotation of my favorite soaps, starting today with Provence Sante. There is talc in the soap, which leaves my face very smooth. It is also very inexpensive, costing about $10 - $12 for a 3.5 oz. puck. 3 passes today.

Provence Sante
Voskhod blade
Slim adjustable

 

Razor: Gillette Goodwill #164 1931 (slotted center hole) with original case and blade pack
Brush: Vintage Ever-Ready 300L with TGN Silvertip 18/51
Mug: Old Spice 1985 Cobalt Blue
Cream: TOBS Grapefruit cream
Blade: Feather (1)
Post shave: Thayers Cucumber WH, Jack Black balm, Old Spice original Shulton 1973 glass cologne Stopper #4
Loaded a new Feather and checked the alignment. It still looks strange with the studs showing through the top cap, but the Feather was aligned perfectly. From the side it looks a lot like my Gillette Old Type Open Comb Ball End, but shaves like my Tech. I whipped up the TOBS with the Silvertip in my favorite mug. First pass WTG very nice glide with no pressure with this light razor. Second pass XTG on my face and then ATG on my neck. The TOBS was nice and slick and helped get a great shave. A little touchup on my neck, and done. Great razor! Very smooth. The WH felt good and then some JB. And then some Vintage OS. Time to go out and get around.......

 

Cool shot!

 

I'm on the road this weekend for business conference so no pics until Monday. Great shave this morning with the Moos. Haven't used in months and the Standard Razor paired with the SI produced a 2 pass shave no touch up required.

Blade: Super Iridium (D1)
Brush: Muhle V2 Synthetic Travel Brush
Bowl: Turkish 5" Copper and Bowl
Pre Shave Scrub: Nivea Facial Scrub

Beautiful Gillette

 

Thank you for your kind words
I do like the look of your Goodwill, lovely, another one for me to look out for

 

Thanks! It took me awhile to find it. That was my first Goodwill. I found out that there are many versions. Check out my "Jedi Den" for some pictures.

 

Shave of the day

Pre- Hot shower, Bulldog Original face wash, sandalwood bar soap. Proraso eucalyptus and menthol pre/post shave cream

Soap/cream- Proraso Eucalyptus and menthol

Brush- Plisson synthetic

Razor- Weber polished head all stainless steel

Blade- Voskhood(2)

Post- Cold water rinse, Proraso eucalyptus and menthol aftershave lotion and Nivea sensitive aftershave balm

My skin feels a little bumpy someway, maybe its from my last shave or something. But I still got a nice shave =D

This Razor is really amazing, Im so happy I made an exception from my no buy. I can really see this razor being my No1 razor.

All the proraso green products I have in one shave, I wish I had some more proraso products =D like the green proraso balm.
