Saturday game day shave:
Frederick Reynolds shoulderless 9/16 with new Osage Orange scales
Kent BK4 brush
Trumper Limes cream
Extract of Limes Skin Food finish

 

Saturday morning:

King C. Gillette Facial Wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Minora day 4
Palmolive Classic SC
Thayer’s Lavender Witch Hazel
Intesa ASB
Razorock Don Donato AS Splash
Bleu de Chanel Deodorant Stick
Bleu de Chanel Parfum

This red tube version of Palmolive Classic is made in Italy and it’s very popular there as well as in Greece. It’s the EXACT same cream which is sold all over the rest of Europe in countries like Germany, Austria, Belgium, the UK, and Sweden. The scent is so nice - very clean, soapy, as well as old school, it lathers so easily, it becomes very thick, rich, as well as slick, and the skincare is excellent. The Thayer’s Lavender witch hazel is so soothing, the Intesa balm smells very nice, there’s a good cooling sensation from it, and the Don Donato aftershave also has a lovely scent which doesn’t interfere with the Bleu de Chanel and it gives a good menthol punch. Another picture perfect BBS shave!

Have a great day - be well and safe!

DE SOTD, Nov 13th 2021

Razor: Gillette Regular Flare tip Super speed B2- Mfg 1956, 2nd qtr, Excellent mild razor, I like to shave with a KAI SS DE blade extra wide blade because it gives a nice boost in blade feel or blade exposure. This razor is wonderful with the right blade in use.
Blade: Kai SS (5) Excellent, sharp & smoooth. The Kai is 4.5/1000 of inch wider per side than a a standard Gillette Astra SP. Good to have a tuck or 2 for those nice mild razors that are not being used that much. I use this blade in my mild razors a lot.
Soap: Cyril R Salter Indian Sandal wood cream , 6/10 sandalwood scent strength, excellent lather qualities.(misted)
Brush: Yaqi 24mm Tuxedo knot with black marble handle Excellent lather generator, heavenly cloud like soft tips, nice scrub + excellent lather painter. This brush seems to be perfect for my face feel and always enjoy using it.
Pre shave: Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a dollop of clear Aloe Vera gel on the cleaned beard area.
Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups.
Post shave: Proraso Red sandal wood with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizer lotion (balm) + scentless.
Results: CCS,DFS,BbS + no irritation + no weepers= Excellent shave with my Gillette 1956 SS with a Kai SS blade.


Have some great shaves!

 

I was referring to the Polish Wizamets.

My statement would have been better said: "These Wizamets are no longer Made in Poland".

Have a great day!​

 

Thank you Jospeh. Are the blades you're using made in Poland? I'm wondering how long ago you purchased them.

I was probably confusing Polsilver Super Iridium with the Wizamet. (Almost understandable)
These two, IMO, outshine the St. Petersburg steel:

 

I just posted two pictures of my Polish Polsilvers. I don't have anymore Polish Wizamets. I thought that I did. However, the St. Petersburg blades are outstanding. I found a slightly less expensive link:

Get two and you'll be set for life!

 

Took me a bit to get to. Great video. Thanks for sharing Dave.

 

Ahh! Thank you for letting me know!
