Love the Variant with a GSB blade, smooth and comfortable and efficient. What more could I ask for. My face is very happy. Now go enjoy your day folks.

 

A trip down memory lane this morning, taking the 55 Red Tip out for a spin. She was fueled up with a Vintage Gillette, and really broke loose on the slickness created by the Rubberset Silvertip and Ghost Town Barber (my this is great soap). I finished the trip with some English Leather. A Tepco vintage china coffee mug hung out with us this morning as well. Have a blessed day gentlemen.

SOTN June 15th


Gillette New Short Comb
Gillette 7'O Clock Super Stainless
Stirling 24MM Synthetic
La Toja
Fine Platinum AS

I've been really jonesing for an OC shave so yesterday I decided switch my focus for a week and use the Gillette New SC instead of the Milord. Both the New SC and the 7O'C SS are members of The Dream Team, and when you have a dream team pairing you know you are in for an epic shave. Of course they did not disappoint. The New loaded with the 7O'C SS glided across my face without a hint of harshness or tugging, the lather was wiped away and the whiskers were gone. Upon inspection during my final rinse there was not a hint of stubble to be found. The only fitting end to such a magnificent shave was a splash of Fine Platinum. Happy Friday, and have a great weekend everyone!

 

Razor: Portland Razor Co Chimera
Strop: Drygulch 45
Brush Handle: 30DC LE
Knot: APShaveCo Cashmere
Soap: Wholly Kaw Fougere Bouquet
Post Care: Thayers Witch Hazel
Alum
Osage Rub
Aftershave: Wholly Kaw Fougere Bouquet

My first try of a Wholly Kaw soap and I'm very impressed. This is their vegan formula and it lathered easily, it was very slick and offered great protection. The scent is very nice, more floral than anything else I have but it's pleasant. Three passes with the Chimera for a DFS. Have a great day folks!

Another great shave and a very happy Clubman Friday. The Ming Shi goes great with an Astra SP.

 

Dug into the archives and found this Krona that I forgot about. With and Astra blade it gave a nice comfortable shave.

A mighty cold shave for Saturday morning:

L'Oreal Men Expert Facial Wash
Razorock Plissoft 26mm Monster
Super Speed Astra day 6
Stirling Glacial Margaritas in the Arctic SS
Lucky Tiger AS Cream
Osage Rub A/S Splash
Havana EdT

The right equipment, a little skill, and you'll get a great shave!

BTW, there's been a little switch in the setup - the freeze has been upgraded to the Glacial MITA!

 

I enjoyed using the razor. Check out post #8 for my detailed thoughts
