A BBS shave with a new blade. A Gillette, believe it or not.

Palmolive shave stick
C&E sandalwood SC
AOS Pure badger brush
Gillette slim adjustable
Gillette 7 O'clock sharpedge blade
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
T&H West Indian Limes EDT

I took my normal morning shower, I lather my face with the shave stick while washing with normal bar soap. Hot rinse, dry off except my face, go to sink and lather up with the C&E shave cream.
3 pass, extremely sharp but comfortable blade. I think this is as sharp or almost as sharp as a Feather. A really clean, smooth shave.
I think it is on a par with the Astra Superior. This is only one shave so far, and I will see how it goes further on.

I will report back.

2007.12.15 Shave of the Day

Shave
Razor: Gillette 1930s Brass 3 Piece Tech Knob End Double Edged Safety Razor [Link]
Razor Blades: Treet Double Edge Razor Blades (Blue Steel) [Link}
Brush: Shavemac 23mm Handmade Nickel Ivory Pure Badger Shave Brush
Bowl: Mitsuwa 5" Blue swirl hand thrown Japanese Rice Bowl
Shave Cream/Soap: Crabtree & Evelyn Sweet Almond Oil Shave Cream [Link]
Technique: WTG/45XTG/45XTG/Cleanup
Post Shave
Aftershave: Thayer's Witch Hazel Aftershave [Link]

Result: 4.0/5.0 Lousy shave. I don't mean blood or irritation lousy. I mean the blade made the shave very very tough to pull off and what made it worse was I was short on time so I had to limit it to two passes. Reminded me of a bad cartridge shave.

 

2007.12.17 Shave of the Day

Sunday 2007.12.16 - No Shave

Shave - Monday 2007.12.17
Razor: Gillette 1930s Brass 3 Piece Tech Knob End Double Edged Safety Razor [Link]
Razor Blades: 7am Platinum Double Edged Razor Blades v2 [Link]
Brush: Crabtree & Evelyn Edwin Jagger Made Brass & Faux Ebony Best Badger Shave Brush [Link]
Bowl: Mitsuwa 6" Beige shallow hand thrown Japanese bowl with side rest [Link]
Shave Cream/Soap: Wilkinson Sword Blue Glycerin Shave Soap [Link]
Technique: WTG/45XTG/45XTG/ATG/Cleanup
Post Shave
Aftershave: Em's Place Minty Menthol Aftershave and Body Splash [Link]

Result: 4.6/5.0 Still had the Treet in there and tried again. Nope. Pulled the blade and replaced it with a 7AM I had in the kit. Much better. The 7AM agreed with the 3 piece Gillette Razor. Thinner head so under nose shaving is easier. I'm happy now. Toss the Treet blade, it's not playing nice. Had to add Olbas Oil o the AS. The mintiness is gone.
