Thank You young man. And the New Improved just might be the most efficient shaver I own. It still amazes me what was being built 100 years ago.

 

On the road of “mild” and nothing is quite as nice as a Gillette Blue Tip Super Speed. Loved the Tech shaves and really wanted to move on to the “trio” which is what I am doing here. This Blue Tip is from 1956 as is its Flare Tip and Red Tip brothers. Loaded up with a fresh GSB.

Soap or cream of the day is Gentleman’s Tonic Babassu and Bergamot from the UK. Think wonderful and clean “barbershop” and you’ve got the scent profile down. It is quite nice though one that doesn’t come up often in rotation. Time to change that. A little scooped out into the shaving bowl goes a long way and it is performs well though needs a bit of water to get there.

Lovely three pass BBS shave achieved and topped off with a double whammy favourite in Issey Miyake L’Eau D’Issey Pour Homme aftershave balm and EDT! Holy jumping! Epic shave on a Wednesday? Why not?! Take care, safe travels and enjoy your shaves!
