Awesome set up Doug. That razor set looks mint.

 

Thanks so much. It is a clean one.

 

That's a real nice set Doug!

 

Thank you very much.

 

Terrific.

 

Did that Tech come in that box for $.79 Douglas? (Back in the day, of course) What a deal!

 

Woke up late and wanted to get to church on time so I broke out my New LC instead of using a Straight.


Gillette New LC/Voskhod (1)
JR #23 Silvertip
The Fat
Maggard Alum Block
The Veg



Quickest 4 pass shave I have ever done and I walked away BBS with no nicks or irritation. MWF (The Fat) lathered up easily and I had enough lather for a good 8-10 pass shave if needed. 4 passes today (WTG, XTG, XTG, ATG) and I am preteen smooth.


Added bonus? After the service while talking to a few people I was told by the most adorable lady that I smell so good and it is nice to smell a young man smelling like a man and not smelling like the bug spray her grandkids call cologne...yeah go ahead and laugh I got complimented by a 87 year old women on the Veg. I talked to her Husband a bit and sure enough he remembered the scent and use to wear it himself but hasn't been able to find any in the past 25 years and thought they stopped making it. I went out to the car where I keep my travel bag where I have back up shave gear and all that in it and gave him a brand new 12.5 oz bottle of the green gold.

 

That's awesome! Very generous of you

 

Sure, dump it off on old people!

 

Prep - Woods Of Windsor Cedar Woods soap / Pre-lather / 3 min steam
Razor - Ever Ready 1912
Blade - Personna GEM SE Stainless (#7)
Brush - Shavemac Raptor 26/52 DO1 3 Band Bulb
Soap - OSP Bay Rum
After - Frozen towel / Brut Original A/S
Result - Dolphin Smooth

If I didn't already love OSP soaps, this shave would certainly confirm it. The DO1 was made for this soap and it really takes it up a level. There's just so much protection with this lather, perfect for SE.
Still palm stropping the blade and it keeps on delivering.

 

Hahahahaha!

 

Nice setting, beautiful where you are!

 

I look forward to your report.

The Dapper Dan Green AS has a good dose of menthol to go along with a Masculine scent.....

From the Pomade Shop website:
A traditionally manufactured after shave lotion in the style of US american after shave lotions of the 1930s. It is deep green coloured, mentholated, with an alluring fragrance going from a powdery sweetness, to a sharp methol mint freshness and finally to woody and spicy notes.
Dapper Dan GREEN is made in the tradition of great classic from an era when men were really men and smelled like men.
Caution: This after shave is clearly for machos and wants to be worn with confidence and the right attitude. Leaders and real men only should apply. If you are uncertain, it will wear you and smell cheap.

 

Thanks, Roger.
