Tonight was a truly impressive shave
Badger Silvertip from China $30 (Ebay)
Unknown model, to me, Gillette adjustable,
black, long handle
Derby blade
A good hot water prep
Georgetown Scuttle
Crabtree & Evelyn Almond cream
Alum block
eShave New York unscented after shave lotion
eShave cucumber after shave cream - first time
Royall Muske - first time
Wonderful, smooth, invigorating shave
The adjustable is set at 4. This is the first time I'm using an adjustable. With the Derby it's giving a nice smooth shave
Silvertip Badger I bought on ebay for $30.
They have them all the time. I think it came branded DeLongh box. Nice brush. I'll use it again.
After the shave comes warm water then cold water rinse and the Alum block.
a small dollop of eShave after shave lotion. quite nice but then I saw, sitting nearby,
The eShave Cucumber after shave cream was a real treat. I've not used this and it performed nice.
I wanted a POW!!! fragrance and the Royall Muske is just the ticket....






And what is this razor? Quite nice from the plastic generation...

guys, I'm not trying to be an excessive hyping machine for Noxzema cream, but this stuff was my one and only shaving cream for so many years. It is sooooooo fantastic. When it was discontinued in North America around 15 years ago, I felt terrible. Now, once again it can be bought in the US!
