Maiden trip of this razor - excellent little razor !

Have a nice day, gentlemen ...

 

Have you used the valet with a feather SE blade?

 

No I haven't.

 

A thing of beauty. So misunderstood.

If you would like to try one let me know. I have some SS and some carbon steel blades.

 

Yeah I'd like to, thx. Would like to see the difference. And as I understand, they can be used in all of the Auto-Strop razors.

 

Send me a PM with an addy I will get them out to you in a few days. They fit all of the razors I have.

Hello all, I just wanted to post my OC SOTD for today. Thanks in advance for checking it out!


This Gillette Brownie Old Type (thick cap/guardplate ) is the first vintage razor set I found in the wild. It was unused. The razor itself had a badly split handle, but was obviously brand new. The gold plating was, and still is beautiful. The case was in great condition as well. I got really lucky. It took awhile to get it to, and back from my motorcycle mechanic who repaired many of my handles at that time. But the wait was worth it. Just like this morning, the razor /shave was great. For today's shave, I used a 1948 Gillette Blue Blade, some TOBS Traditional Luxury Shaving Soap, my usual Nivea post shave balm, a splash of Clubman Special Reserve, followed by some 360 Red by Perry Ellis, and the end result was a two pass BBS! It was a fantastic shave. So I hope everyone has a as good or better shave, and God Bless You All!

SOTD - Broke out one of my new types today. I don't use them often. Thater 4125 Super (24mm fan). WSP Rustic Sandalwood soap and AS.

 

You had a guy that fixed bikes and vintage razors. Hopefully he was as good with the scoots as he was with razors.

 

Hello, yes, he is a fantastic mc mechanic, a great friend, and an all around good dude! I'm really blessed to have him on my short list.
