Good morning!

 

Gillette Goodwill #160 with a one-too-many-shaves Feather. Valobra Fougère was lathered with a Yaqi 24mm Moka Synth (Mew Brown knot). Finished with Thayer's Rose and Krampert's Finest Bay Rum. Got a 3-full pass DFS despite the well-used Feather which was barely up to the task.

So I'm finding that each of these vintage century old razors have a personality of their own. My first shave this OCtober was with a similar aged single ring and that was a very mild, smooth shave with no blade feel. This razor was a bit more aggressive, a good bit of blade feel, but no less effective. I was in a bit of a rush so I only did a one pass shave and this razor gave me a DFS+ on that one WTG pass. This soap is really good, I could have done 5 passes with the lather generated by about a pea sized portion of the soap. The brush is one of my older brushes, and still has original boar knot (I believe) which is still in good shape. Brush was a little floppier than I like but still did the job well.

I apologize for my delay in posting this Thursday shave. Got busy Thursday and then had surgery on my left hand Friday morning and won't be shaving for a couple days while the hand heals and I can start using it again.

Happy OCtober and great shaves everyone.
