For the forums consideration
Shave 6-26-21​

Brush: PAA Atomic Rocket 26mm Synthetic
Soap: PAA Atomic Age Bay Rum CK-6 formula
Bowl: Hand thrown WCS Scuttle
Razor: Gillette Slim Adjustable I-3 1963, setting 5
Blade: Wilkinson Sword; Germany
Post Shave: Osma Bloc d' Alum
After Shave: PAA Atomic Bay Rum

The CK-6 PAA soap is new, wonderfully slick, very moisturizing, builds a great lather quickly. Scent profile is nice, not as strong a Bay Rum as I would like but it is present.

Razor: Wilkinson sword classic (far too mild but it'll do the job until my Gillette slim adjustable arrives).

Wilkinson are a great blade and mild to mid range but in a Slim... I use mine at 5 and the Wilkinson takes on another dimension.

Just for giggles I use a Feather and setting 9 every now and then, cause you know, gotta see if the Alum block still works .

Yeah there is a reason I'm BOSC...

Greetings,

A relaxing Sunday morning shave..

I love the simple Gillette tech design they are such mild smooth efficient shavers especially the earlier models it would be hard for me to choose a favourite because each one that i own is a joy to shave with...However, i find the 40's & 50's models are slightly more assertive with the right blade choice.

An enjoyable 3 pass + pick ups comfortable silky smooth shave with no errors to report...Finishing to the shave off with a small dollop of Nivea Men Sensitive Cooling PSB.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling divine.

Stay safe, and enjoy your Sunday ladies & gentlemen.

Sun 27 SR SOTD
Soap Stirling Black Cherry
Brush Yaqi 26mm Lucky Dice Tuxedo
Razor Gold Dollar Replacement
Post & Aftershaves Ice Water + Alum + Stirling Witchhazel Orange Chill + Hyaluronic + Aqua Velva Musk
The lather from the soap was great as usual. Creamy and slick with a mild pleasant scent.
Thanks to FCS, they replace the 1st GD that was rusted & pitted by sending this one (fast too). I've never shaved with a so-called shave-ready straight razor before and don't know the feeling...all previous experience was not good. Now with this GD, wow...the edge was the smoothest I've ever felt...and it actually removes my whiskers...wow! 3passes for a mostly dfs to sas finish... the best ever results with a straight. Even went atg on the upper lips...'fool's pass' hahaha...and escape with a micro nick right at the nostril...not bad at all! Just the neck area still requires more experience.
Aftershaves were excellent!

Thanks for the tip, I'll need to try it on that setting.
The wilkinson has done the job very well and it was an absolute steal so I can't complain.
Really looking forward to experimenting with the slim though.

Im sure the old alum block will see plenty of use when I do
