    D65A9AFB-3C57-4AC9-BD97-4CF53E278606.jpeg Smoky goodness today! More on that in a minute! Keeping with the Gillette Super Speed Trio, I went with the 1956 Blue Tip Super Speed today. Often maligned as an overly mild razor incapable of shaving a course beard by those on various forums. Well, I am not one of those folks. Loaded up with a good blade on par with a Kai, Feather or Nacet, the Blue Tip is a wonderful razor. For me anyway. Today a fresh Kai was loaded.

    Now back to the smoky goodness. Stirling Gatlinburg! I don’t know how it was created but man, do Love this scent. i have waxed enough on it’s many merits as a soap but the scent is what it gets me and yes, I do jam my beak in this one a lot!

    Through a wonderful three pass shave and BBS achieved. Now again could I get there in two passes with another razor? Sure but I will take a three pass BBS shave with the Blue Tip any day and especially with such a glorious scent to enjoy!

    Happy Friday! Safe travels and on this (Canadian) Thanksgiving Weekend may you be surrounded by those you hold dear!

    Looks like a 26mm. I didn't know anyone was doing reproductions of the C-Mon. They look sharp!

    Thank you sir. It's nice having a razor that's so easy to use on those occasions where I can't use my preferred OC razors.
