King Gillette Weekend

[Morman Bridge]

Hello folks. Bridge here. Today’s King Gillette SOTD is as follows-

Early 1930’s Gillette Norfolk New SC head, UFO Kaiser handle.
Bolzano Superinox blade.
The rest is pretty much self explanatory.

A one pass DFS.

No music today.

Refreshment by Wrigleys chewing gum.

God Save The Queen.

Shave 20200125

Continuing my 2020 Resolution to stop chasing BBS!

Prep: Splashed water on face
Pre-shave: n/a
Brush: Shavemac 26mm Synthetic 'Flattop' Fan
Soap/Cream: Tabac
Bowl: n/a (face lathered, Bamboo bowl to 'dip the tips')
Razor: Gillette #34 Tech (Germany), TiBam Handle
Blade: PolSilver SI (5 - now retired)
Post-shave: Dickinson's Hydrating Toner
Aftershave Balm: Stetson w/Aloe
Cologne: Original Stetson

WTG, XTG. ATG in selected areas. Minor touch-up and buffing.

DFS++ with zero weepers nicks, cuts or irritation.

Same everything (except AS Balm and Cologne) and my comments from yesterday apply to this shave:

"The German #34 Tech is a great Tech. Makes shaving effortless. The shave is smooth, comfortable and 'Tech Efficient'. A very relaxing shave.

Can't say enough good things about Tabac. What a fantastic soap!

Great combination of hardware and software!"

Yesterday and today have been two very consistent, excellent shaves!

YMMV

The Goodwill #160 has earned the moniker ‘My Precious’’. It will NEVER leave my den.

I used the #160 for the 3rd day in a row and I can fully appreciate why you dubbed yours "My Precious". Paired 3 straight days with a GSB and as good as it gets. Really impressive.
