Gillette Ranger Tech (1941)
Goldtone blade (says 1940)
Stirling Deep Blue Sea
Ever-Ready nylon brush

2 pass DFS. Face is BBS, neck is nearly so. The blade isn't the sharpest but is quite serviceable with no nicks or issues (this also because the Ranger is a legend). Nice aquatic-floral-spicy soap, too, and that nylon brush is oh so scritchy.

Alumated witch hazel and Lucky Tiger tonic.

Greetings,

Early morning Shave,

It's been a while since i last had a Turkish theme shave and forgot how much I like them.

The Derby soap bowl provides a wonderful dense slick protective lather, which is equal to the shave stick if not better for it's lather density.

The scent of both the Derby & Arko soaps is something i personally don't mind to my sense of smell it's just a 'clean pleasant soap/lemon scent' which like the vast majority of shaving soaps with a few rules to the exception the scent vanishes after i have done my cold water face.

A enjoyable early morning comfortable face & head shave with no errors to report. Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Aloe Vera Cooling Gel.

My face & precious swede are feeling smooth & smelling divine.

Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.

Tabac Tuesday's Cold Water Shave

Cold Water Rinse
Tabac Shave Soap
Jayaruh #426 Synthetic
Parker Variant
Gillette Silver Blue
CWR
Tabac ASB

The Tabac Shave Soap lathered well with the Jayaruh #426 Synthetic brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Parker Variant Razor and a Gillette Silver Blue Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Tabac ASB. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

Tuesday morning:

King C. Gillette Facial Wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Rapira day 2
De Vergulde Hand SS
De Vergulde Hand ASB
De Vergulde Hand AS Spray

Thanks to a good friend of mine in the Netherlands I’m loaded now with De Vergulde Hand - this soap and aftershave are absolutely fantastic. I love the gorgeous old school barbershop scent, the lather explodes off the brush - it gets so thick, rich, creamy as well as protective, there’s lots of cushion to it, and to me the skincare is pretty damned good. The matching balm is so moisturizing as well as soothing and it gives a bit of a menthol sensation which is a nice bonus. The matching aftershave spray is unfortunately not available anymore so I only use it on rare occasions - man oh man do I ever love it. Would you guys believe that this brand has been around for over 450 years? Obviously the company is doing something right. Three passes gave me another brilliant BBS shave that I enjoyed immensely!

Have a good day - be well and stay safe!
