    Hello folks, today's shave was with my Rhodium replated RFB Rotbart Mond Extra. This one is a pre-WWII razor.

    I have to say this RFB Rotbart gives a fantastic shave that rivals the Gillette #77, and even the Gillette #44 set. These Rotbart razors seem a little smoother and to my taste a more comfortable shave. If you ever have a chance to try one you should. Have a great night all!

    I saw that on eBay and almost stole it from you!!! I was afraid that gunk wouldn't come off!

    Glad you like it and it cleaned up well.

    Hello everyone, here's today's OC SOTD-

    1934 Gillette Aristocrat.
    Gillette Silver Blue blade.
    Kent BLK2 badger brush.
    Proraso Blue shave cream.
    Nivea post shave balm.
    Vintage Jade East aftershave.
    Vintage Jade East cologne.

    [​IMG]

    I was feeling a little long in the tooth today, so I decided to pamper myself with the Aristocrat. I'm glad I did. It worked well with the Silver Blue blade, as it glided through the rich and creamy lather from the Proraso Blue. I got a close smooth shave. I rate this shave as a definite BBS! Enjoy your journeys folks. And have a great day!

    Another beautiful razor Alan. I have always admired the OC TTO razors. How does the OC Aristocrat compare to the Senator and Sheraton?

    Back to the Timeless Open Comb this morning. I decided to use Mystic Water Eucalyptus & Spearmint since it has been a while. The big boar lathers up the MW fairly easily. However, I do look forward to trying the new easier to lather formula when the soap inventory is reduced. Sticking with a traditional 3 pass shave, the TROC was smooth and efficient. Having the time I decided to chase the baby and with minor touch ups ended with a BBS. I finished off the shave with a splash of Floid Blue followed by whipped shea butter. I hope everyone has a great Saturday.

    Hello Clint64, the Aristocrat is a bit heavier , and to my taste a bit more efficient than the Senator and Sheraton.

    The Route 66 Frozen Margarita lathered easily into a rich slick lather. Going with a 3 pass shave with minor touch ups ended in a near BBS. I finished up the shave with the matching aftershave balm. A great shave is the perfect way to start the day. I hope everyone has a blessed Sunday.

    Hi folks, here's today's OC SOTD-

    [​IMG]

    The razor is a Maggards V2.0 OC head on a chrome plated brass DeFitch handle. This is a fantastic combo. I have found the Maggards OC head to be a great razor head. It has become one of my favorites.
