cool shave and pic Kevin..

 

Thanks Gary, I do like the Sticky, it's deceptively efficient.

 

i have the new wilkinson tto razor.. it's a nice shaver..i will look for a sticky..

 

I've read only good things about the new tto but I have far too many razors and find it hard to cull them.

 

myself included.i bought the new wilkinson to show that canada finally has a readily available de razor on it's shop shelves..a defining day for wetshavers here..in my mind imo

 

I've been wrestling with that myself, so I dare say I'll get one.

Fantastic shave tonight, from an American Made razor. Perfect 2 pass shave, that left me BBS. Zero issues, and a Joy to use. This little known, or unknown razor around here, takes a very very sharp and smooth edge. One of the best shaving razors I have.

Razor- Tupper-Spiegel Co. Duluth Minn.
Brush- The Brush, By Tom. B400. Omega Boar Knot
Soap- Arko/Avon Spicy
Aftershave- Vintage Avon Spicy. Willys Jeep Decanter.

 

Cool picture!

TOST Thursday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Morning TOST Shaving Soap
Jayaruh #18 Silvertip
RazoRock Black Hawk
Feather Professional
CWR
PSC Caffeinated AS

My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Morning TOST Shaving Soap face lathered well with the Jayaruh #18 Silvertip brush. I did two passes with the RazoRock Black Hawk razor with a Feather Professional blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with PSC Caffeinated AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

I don't think the blade is going to deliver a top shave because the last shave was a bit rough. I will give the blade one more shot and if it gives one more subpar shave it will be replaced. The blade has lasted longer than any other blade. 25 solid shaves out of 26. Hoping for at least one more go from it.

 

Second outing with this lovely John & Wm Ragg Napoleon and the shave was nothing short of As-Good-As-It-Gets.

First time with the Barrister & Mann Reserve Lavender. Great lather, great aroma - thanks for the tip @Primotenore
