Razor: Valet Auto Strop Model "C"- 1935-40/ Gillette 1958 TV Special(1) Feather blade) Blade: Valet New Process (1) Brush: Frendrihen Silver Tip Badger Faux Horn Handle 22/49 Cream: Proraso A/S: Pinaud Lime Got home late yesterday after golf Tournament and didn't shave. Morning shave today. Used the Gold Valet Model C with a Valet blade. Can't seem to get the GEM Feather blade to fit this razor. The razor has a nice feel to it, however, the blade was dull and didn't provide a good shave. Finished with the 58 TV Special and all was saved for a DFS. I'll have to learn to use the Strop that @Drygulch helped me get back in shape.
Tabac Tuesday, September 8, 2015 Mr. Glo Mongoose with Triad Ti Helix Spiral Feather Pro #6 Paladin PK-47 LE Tabac Shave Soap Dickinson’s ++Menthol, Cucumber Melon Whipped Shea Butter Tabac Aftershave Lotion Great evening shave. Three pass BBS. I had to change the blade after the first pass. Shaving tonight since we must catch an early flight to New England tomorrow. Tabac is an easy lathering soap with a great scent. Clean up in the morning with a shower. Finished with generous dousing of Tabac Afershave. Ready for the airlines. Famous last words. First stop Midway, Chicago.
Went with Barbasol(the red can-natural barbershop pole) today, followed up with Gillette Cool Wave AS.

Boker Master Razor straight razor Blade: Gem PTFE coated SE blade (7) Brush: Vie Long Horse Hair Soap: RazoRock - Tobacco #1 After: Home made ASB, Aqua Velva Ice Blue Cologne: Aqua H2O It is Tobacco Tuesday! The Vie Long brush whipped the Tobacco #1 into a nice lather. The Clog Pruf paired with the GEM blade and the Boker did a great job taking down the 3 days worth of stubble. The AV and the Aqua H2O were a fine finish for this almost BBS shave. Have a blessed day!

Razor: Gillette Slim (k3) 1965 (5) (3) (original case and blade pack with instructions) Brush: Whipped Dog 30/45 Silvertip Mug: Old Spice 1985 Cobalt Blue Cream: Truefitt&Hill No 10 Blade: Feather (2) Post shave: Thayers Cucumber Witch Hazel with Aloe Vera, Jack Black balm, Old Spice original Shulton 1980 glass AS (gift from my father in law) Whipped up the Truefitt&Hill No 10 in a minute with the Silvertip. Nice slick cushion and I really like the scent. I really like the slim and next to my FB it is my go to razor. The heavy handle and head gave me a nice smooth shave with no pressure with a Feather blade set on 5. WTG and XTG on my face and neck. Then ATG set on 3. Very smooth. The Thayers Cucumber Witch Hazel with Aloe Vera felt good on my face and that natural scent was nice and fresh. After cleaning my razor and a little spray of isopropyl alcohol, I smoothed on some Jack Black, and then some vintage Old Spice, from 1980, ahhhh. Y'all have a good one!
