So here is a razor not in Waits Compendium or anywhere else I can find on the internet but it's an Open Comb for OCtober. If anyone knows anything about this silver plated vintage travel razor, please fill me in. It was a smooth but very efficient shaver. Just a joy to use and have. The Vanilla Safi fit right in and is a generous sample from Pete who I hope is well. Take care everyone !

 

Superb Strange Shave.

Thursday morning:

Neutrogena Deep Clean Facial Wash
Yaqi 30mm Barber Pole
Super Speed/Minora day 9
Tabac Shaving Stick
Nip Man ASB
Tabac AS Splash

You’ll never go wrong with Tabac because it’s such a terrific soap - the stick has the same lovely old school European scent as the bowl soap as well as the same great thick, rich, slick lather, and awesome skincare. The Nip Man balm is very moisturizing, cooling, and soothing, its minty scent is very refreshing, and the Tabac aftershave went on with a bit of a sting but then it felt wonderful. Another tip top BBS shave!

Have a good day - be well and safe!

Thursday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Proraso Red
Jayaruh #206 2-band badger
Gillette US Army 1918 Old Type
Astra SP
CWR
Pinaud Vanilla AS

The Proraso Red Shave Cream lathered well with Jayaruh #206 two-band Badger. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette US Army 1918 Old Type with an Astra SP gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Pinaud Vanilla After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

 

OCtober!
