Thank you very much.

 

Thanks Doug, a refreshing shave this morning

 

Than you Doug. I hope you can enjoy the outdoors today, it's beautiful here in California today.

 

The way I remember California, it was always hot and sunny.

 

When using my tablet, I send my pics to dropbox. It's free and I just use a photo editor to work on them before I post.

 

Gillette Slim (L2) Razor
Bic Chrome Platinum Blade
Frank Shaving Synthetic Brush
Proraso Green Soap
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Aqua Velva After Shave

An excellent shave today with two passes and a hint of touch up for a very smooth BBS shave.

 

Good flick Jim.

 

Thank you Douglas.

 

Tuesday's Shave


Nivea Men Face Wash
Prorazo Pre Shave
Old Spice Lime
The Brush B-3 by Tom, Badger
Gillette OT by Tom @twhite
Rockwell Swedish Stainless Steel
CWR
Thayer's Lemon WH
Lucky Tiger

I applied Prorazo Pre Shave after my face wash. The Old Spice Lime Cream face-lathered well with The Brush B-3 by Tom, Badger brush. I did the two passes with the Gillette OT by Tom razor and Rockwell Swedish Stainless Steel blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Lucky Tiger AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Thanks, Tom, for the razor and brush. They both performed in an outstanding manner. The OT was smooth and irritation free. The VS silvertip badger was a lather monster. It is a great face lathering brush.

 

Today's shave keeps with the Japanese theme, until I'm tired of using them. I had a great 2 pass shave, that left me BDBS, with no nicks, cuts, or weepers. I like the shape of this blade, because it's easy to get into tight places. I just have to be aware of the tip, at all times. This is a very well built razor, and takes a very sharp edge(Swedish Steel).

Razor- Japanese "Bellman 45". By Taiheishokai. Swedish Steel.
Brush- Omega 10098 Boar
Soap- Arko/Avon Spicy
Aftershave- Shulton Old Spice. Yummy.

Yeah, it's the only shave kit in my collections that has a scuttle for it so far.

 

Hey. I should look into buying some of that soap since it already has my name on it.

 

That is a gorgeously preserved vintage razor you have there.
