    Menthol Monday's Cold Water Shave

    Cold Water Rinse
    PSC Caffeinated Shaving Cream
    Semogue Owners Club Boar
    1905 Gillette Double Ring
    Gillette Super Blue Blade X3 (6)
    Cold Water Rinse
    PSC Caffeinated After Shave

    I am continuing this week with the Gillette Super Blue Blade from 1952. Today is the sixth shave with it. As long as it is shaving good, I will use it. Then I will strop it with my Twinplex Stropper. Here we go with the 72 year old blade and the 119 year old razor.

    The PSC Caffeinated Shaving Cream lathered well with the Semogue Owners Club Boar brush. Two passes and touch ups with the 1905 Gillette Double Ring Razor and the Gillette Super Blue Blade X3 gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with PSC Caffeinated After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Shave of the Week Starting 9/16/2024

    Weber DLC razor
    Silver Star blade
    WD Synthetic brush
    Thor's HammerBay RumShave Soap
    Osage Rub/Witch Hazel w/aloe
    Thor's Hammer Bay Rum A/S

    I evidently have to much free time and was perusing ETSY when I came across the Thor's Hammer products. Had seen the A/S on a couple of posts and was intrigued. So I went ahead and puchased the soap and after shave. In the first outing it was good. The soap lathered easily and gave a very nice lather that provided good cushion and glide with a great scent. The A/S was soothing and also had a great scent. We'll see how the rest of the week goes but indications are that it will be good. My face is happy. Now go enjoy your day folks.

    Greetings,

    (Face & Head Shave)

    It's been while since I use my Parker Variant and forgot how efficient it is which paired together with the Treet Platinum it felt comfortable mowing through my stubble with effortless ease. I have one gripe with the Variant, and that is it's weight which I find slightly overwhelming it took me a while to accustom myself to it. Apart from that, it's a great efficient shaver.

    Another close comfortable face & head shave.

    Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Nivea Men Replenishing PSB.

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

    Keep safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.:cool:

    Thanks for the great post. The Parker Variant is a very good razor for me also. I plan to use mine again soon.
