[Hairy Callahan]

Phoenix Fakelite Filament with BiC Chrome platinum blade (1).
Arko stick for pre shave, then TOBS Sandalwood brushed on with cheap no-name synthetic brush.
Three passes. Comfortably close shave, nothing historic or monumental. No irritation or cuts.
Aftershave was a two splash pass of Osage Rub, with that violent menthol and eucalyptus sensation.

Vintage Sunday Shave

1946-1947 Gillette Aristocrat
Russian GSB blade
c. 1940s Dubl Duck 3, reknotted with a Maggard boar (22x55)
Albus Palmira
Aqua Velva Ice Blue

The Aristocrat never disappoints. Mild yet efficient, smooth, easy, almost mindless. Very relaxing and enjoyable. 9.8/10 irritation-free DFS shave.

I usually go for bigger boars, but, I liked this particular handle quite a lot. The new knot is very stiff with nice, soft tips. It will be great after several more shaves. As always, Palmira was a joy to use.

Happy Sunday, all!

Sunday’s shave……
Hampshire wool fat soap #1 fragrance….
very mild. Super soap that is currently my go to choice.
Omega mini boar brush.
Gillette 7 O’Clock yellow pack blade
Gillette English Red Tip.
Simple 2 passes of WTG and ATG. Job done….a very efficient razor indeed but with this blade it’s also very smooth. These yellow pack Gillette blades are giving me consistently excellent results in my vintage models.
It’s 5pm now and no hint of a shadow at all.
Fantastic …..10/10 as good as it gets.

A bit rough today, maybe due to shaving after shower (which I generally don’t do).

MULCUTO SHAVE II

Three Days Whiskers

MUSIC: Bauhaus 1979 - 1983 by Bauhaus

PRE-SHAVE:

- Hot Shower

- Proraso Crema Pre Barba Rinfrescante (IT)

BOWL: Aluminium (PT)

SOAP: SMN (IT) -

Today the perfect creamy lather.

BRUSH: Geo F Trumper Two Wood Three Band Silvertip, 24 mm (GB) -

A very beautiful brush that gets its work very well done.

SR: Mulcuto Solingen Schrägschnitt (D) -

Great Vintage German Razor. Extremely efficient, very smooth and with a very strange look. A special Slant indeed.
This is the second time I've been using it.
I've had only to be careful with the corners that could have me cut due to the awkward geometry of the head.

BLADE: Bolzano Superinox (Egypt) -

Second usage. It performed rather well.

POST-SHAVE:

- 444 Alum-Block (PT) - mild feedback over the first couple of minutes

- La Toja After-Shave Balm (SP)

- Eau Sauvage, Christian Dior (FR)

THE SHAVE:

Two passes sufficed. No fuss.
A delightful shave. 10 out of 10.

1st Pass: WTG. Amazing.

2nd Pass: All ATG except on Mustache and Chin Areas where I went XTG from West to East.

Touch-Ups: Some XTG blade-buffing on Neck.

 

[DHowz]

Third shave with the Timeless Ti .68 SB Matte.

Pre: Hot shower
Razor: Timeless Ti .68 SB Matte with Crown handle
Blade: Gillette 7 O'Clock Yellow
Soap: Stirling Barbershop
Brush: RazoRock Bruce 24mm Plissoft
Bowl: Timeless
Aftershave: Burts Bees Witch Hazel & Aloe followed by Nivea Balm.

Superb shave, 10/10.

Tiger Platinum

First shave with a Tiger. Jury is still out as I didn't get a good or bad feeling about it. I recently got some generic witch hazel, which I think I like. This shave finished with Dike Cannon Ice Cold balm.
