    Yup it worked fine, nothing special about it, I had a tuck from somewhere and decided to finish it. No need to get more

    Thursday's Cold Water Shave

    Cold Water Rinse
    De Vergulde Hand Shave Soap
    Red and Black Badger by Tom
    Red and Black OT by T. White
    Gillette Nacet Stainless
    CWR
    Florida Water

    The De Vergulde Hand Shave Soap lathered well with the Red and Black Badger Brush by Tom. Two passes and touch ups with the Red and Black OT Razor by T. White and a Gillette Nacet Stainless Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Florida Water. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

    Preshave: Hot shower
    Soap/Shave cream: Tabac puck
    Brush: Maggard 24mm Marble Handle synthetic
    Razor: 1940's Gillette Super Speed
    Blade: Gillette Perma-Sharp (1)
    Post shave: Gillette Gel

    I just added yet another Gillette Super Speed to the family, this one a Forties vintage with no date stamp, so it was manufactured prior to 1951. It's missing the end caps but those are only cosmetic. The first stroke seemed a tad aggressive, moreso than my other vintage Super Speeds (1952, 1953, 1955 Blue Tip, 1960 Flare Tip) but it smoothed out after that. Nice, clean shave!
