An old friend returns shave#2

Razor: Gillette Slim Twist
Blade: Schick
Soap: Palmolive Classic Cream
Brush: 20+ year old Boar brush bought at a pharmacy

Tonight I decided on a vintage shave with my vintage Schick blade. I used my Gillette Slim Twist, from the 1970's Palmolive Classic Cream both like my Dad used to use and a cheap boar brush I bought from a pharmacy more than 20 years ago. This was a shave straight out of the 1970's, my Dad would have been proud.
To be fair the shave felt like it was out of the 70's, the Slim Twist is light and has a plastic handle so you need to apply a little pressure to get a good shave. The shave itself was comfortable, but not quite as close as I hoped. It truly felt old skool but by the end of the final pass it was still a little rough on my neck so I lathered up again and buffed my neck. The final result was a BBS everywhere but on one side of my neck which was slightly rough.
For that 70s feeling I finished with a splash of Brut. It was a very nostalgic shave and made me think of my dad a lot, and well worth doing.

Still at 100%. The razor is always the ATT Windsor with the mild copper plate. The blade is always a MiUSA Personna. The soap is always MdC Fougere. The brush alternates between a Kent BK4 and a BKB4. The aftershave is 4711 cologne.

Thanks for popping in @Tirvine! I was wondering about you.

Thanks for popping in @Tirvine! I was wondering about you.

Thanks so much. I still read, but rarely have much to say. However, the morning shave is always a delight. Here's an intriguing philosophical question. Can you be a shaving hobbyist if you have minimal gear and do not acquire more? I tend to think so. I do still ponder trying a slant. Cheers.

Shave #146

Razor: Wolfman WR1
Blade: Treet black beauty (3)
Brush: Rudy Vey/EverReady 2-band
Soap: Haslinger’s aloe vera
Splash: Speick

Comment: 8.5/10 today. Sharpness in this (new to me) carbon steel blade is falling off.

Shave #146.
@Tirvine I could use this same kit everyday with great satisfaction. But it's the "ponder trying" this and that which I indulge. But I'm on a pretty strict razor in, razor out discipline now.

This weekend presents a dilemma for me. I'll be out sailboat racing both Saturday and Sunday and staying on the boat overnight. I expect to shave, but life aboard never goes quite according to plan...

Then there's the question of the kit. Old Type (convenience), GEM (only slightly less convenient), shavette (closer to my preferred straights)? I think I'll pass on the traditional straight due to the salt water environment and having to pack a strop. Decisions, decisions...

Play safe! I'll miss your SR pics. Gorgeous.
I've not slept anywhere but in my own bed so far this year so have not had any daily shaving challenges.
