DE SOTD, Sat, Aug 28th, 2021 Razor: Gillette New long comb Canadian Variant- Mfg 1930's, excellent mid range, mostly excellent shaves, I like this handle for manipulating the razor. Blade: Derby Premium(5), Sharp & smooth with good longevity, Derby's better blade IMO. Soap: Italian barber Amici, nice mild citrus scent, great lather qualities. I enjoy Amici scents. Brush: Yaqi 22 mm Cola, excellent lather generator, good handle ergonomics, cloud like soft tips, great scrub + great painter. Pre shave: Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser + a dollop of clear Aloe Vera on the cleaned beard area. Prep: Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. Post shave: Italian barber Amici aftershave with witch hazel + a dollop of Nivea balm with HA. Results: CCS,DFS,BBs + no irritation + no weepers = Excellent shave with my Gillette New OC with a Derby Premium blade. Have some great shaves!
thank you Paul.lot's of skepticism on it's originality by some..but I've seen a few of these early examples like this one in various states of condition.this one was mint but missing the beige blade dispenser.
