Razor: Mongoose B2 w/ Hempel Handle Blade: Feather Professional (8) Brush: El Druida Red Heart Chakte Kok/African Blackwood 2 Band Badger Soap: Oleo Montrose Beach A/S: Old Spice Fresh Lime Decanter: Scrimshaw Whale Tooth (Full & Bye) Cologne 1974-1976 & Body Talcum 1979-1980 The last 2 days of this month are devoted to my 2 favorite Decanters. I am big fan of Moby Dick the book and movie. There were six styles of Scrimshaw Decanters sold from 1974 to 1976 (Product ID 3835 or 3838). The bottles sported simulated scrimshaw depicting whaling or sailing imagery. Packaging was clear plastic with the decanter on a silver plastic base. Each decanter held 6 ounces of cologne. Some were sold in gift sets with a scrimshaw soap on a rope.
SEptember 29, 2017 Pre-shave: 5 cups of black coffee + a hot shower No brush today... used Nivea Men's Sensitive Shaving Gel, applied by hand Razor: Ever-Ready 1912 SE Blade: Gem Blue Star (2) Post-shave: Dickinson's WH, Nivea Sensitive Post-Shave Balm, Shulton Old Spice cologne Had a lot going on today so originally I wasn't going to shave but then opted for a quick one so I picked up the shave gel by Nivea. I do enjoy that gel. It goes on easily and it's creamy and protective. This is a great razor! Ended up with a close comfortable shave with one nick on my jawline (no idea what I did... didn't notice it right away). Wrapped this shave up with some very old Old Spice which I've had for decades. Awesome. Have a great weekend everyone!
