Jayaruh #27 Silver Tip
Merkur 15c OC/Gillette Super Speed* 1947 BYR
Personna SS
CWR, Asma Alum Block

The Van Der Hagen Deluxe Shave Soap face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #27 Silver Tip brush. First pass with my Merkur 15c Open Comb razor with a Personna Super blade followed by second pass with the Gillette Aristocrat (1947 Birth Year Razor) gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, alum block, and a final cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayers Lemon WH and then Pinaud Lilac Vegetal after shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Grah & Plumacher Gotta Superfine 120, 11/16 Full Hollow, Round point​

I have many favorite vintage straight razors made in Solingen and Gotta certainly is one of them. Its full hollow ground gives a quite singing and close shave, something I generally like hearing while I shave with a straight razor. I also like this "Aguzzeria del Cavallo" almond shaving soap, an artisan soap made in Bologna, in my opinion one of the very best we have in Italy. Not to mention the glorious Floïd Blue, one of my favorite aftershaves of all times. I wanted to make this shave special by using the exclusive Omega Professional 48 Gold brush, an elegant touch with its golden handle and capable of mounting a lather in very little time.​

• Pre-Shave: RazorGuy Pre-Shave Oil
• Soap: Aguzzeria del Cavallo Almond Soap
• Brush: Omega Professional 48 Gold
• Bowl: Old Barber Bowl
• Strop: Mastro Livi Loom Strop "Coramella Italiana" and Hand Palm
• Razor: Grah & Plumacher Gotta Superfine 120, 11/16 Full Hollow, Round point
• Post-Shave: Alum Block
• Post-Shave: Argan Oil
• After Shave: Floïd Blue
