SOS September 2019

fine shave sir..glad you are enjoying the flat bottom..i got obsessed with them and found a few .3 slightly different head variants,many handles of different weights and shapes..they are fun..

 

I was looking at the way they hold the blade, It is a very "English" way i think.
Very similar to the other 50's English Gillette's i have in that the blade is firmly clamped near the edge. It gives a similar and very distinctive sound when shaving: Schhhhhhh (I have gone full bonkers eh? lol)

Menthol Monday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Kiss My Face Cool Mint Moisture Shave Cream
Jayaruh #224
Ebarbershop Schick O Clone
Schick Twin Blade
CWS
Osage Rub

My prep was just a cold water rinse. The Kiss My Face Cool Mint Moisture Shave Cream face lathered well with the Jayaruh #224 Brush. I did two passes with the Ebarbershop Schick O Clone razor with a Schick Twin Blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Barbasol AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

SOTD:
I've had some absolutely stunning shaves this month! I've been using bundubeard coffee and an arko shave stick exclusively this month and while both can be considered "budget" soaps, both work better than any other soaps ive ever tried, many being more than double the price. I've also used Col Conk lime a few times in the last two months or so. A budget soap shootout between the three soaps will be coming out shortly, within the next week so stay tuned!

The Gillette aristocrat has also been serving me well over the last few weeks. Its absolutely amazing how a razor made in 1948 still performs as well as the day it left the factory, it's an absolute must for vintage razor collectors who use their collection for shaving like i do.

I've also noticed that the Gillette blades seem to keep their edge way way longer than voshkods. Don't get me wrong, Voshkods are fantastic blades, but for me they lack longevity, which is one of the more important factors for me to consider in a blade

Razor: 1948 Gillette aristocrat barber pole
Brush: Wilkinson sword classic shave
Blade: gillette 7 o clock sharp edge (15)
