Today's shave.

Razor - Tripoli straight. Shaves alright. I don't think it's as good as it can be. I set bevel and honed from there. I did learn I am a bit heavy on the heel. But not to bad.

Brush - Lowborn brush. I believe it's silvertip but could be 2band. I think silver tip because it's has a little less backbone than my 2 band brush from West Cost and Frank Shaving brushes.


Soap - Hendrix Classics Havana Breeze. The soap smells amazing. Has a really nice tobacco scent to it. I think it does smell a lot like a humidor controlled cigar room. Just a nice beautiful scent.

After shave - lucky tiger aftershave. I will normally use pinaud Clubman aftershave with the tobacco soaps but I had too much razor burn and didn't want to use an alcohol based aftershave. But lucky tiger has a nice scent. A little citrus notes.

Strop - Tony Miller Steerdovan strop. This is the one that was in the pass around. I was lucky enough to have my name drawn to receive this amazing strop. Fell in love with it during the pass around. I am so happy to have it. Tony makes amazing strops.

May I recommend dermstore.com as an authorized distributor for EltaMD products. These products are not cheap but they don’t leave you with a ghostly white appearance and, as I said before, moisturizes well and have good SPF protection - both things we need. Oil of Olay Complete Sensitive is a less expensive product. While good it has an SPF of 15 which is good, but 30 is better.

I have tried cheaper products but they mostly cause various skin issues. I guess I’m just a sensitive new age guy. Lol!
Thanks for the website I’ll be sure to check out the product range!

Tuesday OCtober 2

Hitting 2nd, a 101 year old, 1918 Gillette Bulldog.

Bowl/Scuttle - GP12
Soap - Le Pere Lucien Savon du Barbier (A+in my book)
Brush - M&F
Blade - Feather HI SS (4)
Razor - 1918 Gillette Bulldog
Post Shave - OSMA Pierre alum, Baum.BE A/S balm, Floid SE Mentolado Vigoroso A/S

Shave rating 3.5 of 5

First shave with this razor, was kind of show only before. I really like barber pole handles. This razor has a problem with alignment of the blade plus I noticed a very slight hairline crack in the handle. I will need to look for a replacement. I was in a bit of a rush so I didn’t want to play with the blade alignment - one side was mild, the other aggressive - so I did a careful one pass, DFS shave. This soap is great, lather and lubricity are superior.

Looking through my stash to see what other century old Gillette razors I can pull out and use for the remainder of the week.

Happy OCtober and great shaves everyone.
