Good Morning men, to begin with, I would like to apologize for the late posting. I intended to shave and post las night, but was unable to do so. At any rate, my Super Speed Saturday SOTD is as follows;
1952 Gillette Black Tip Super Speed ( Aluminum handle ).
1965 Canadian Gillette Blue Blade.
Proraso Blue shaving cream.
Chinese Badger hair brush.
Nivea ASB.
Avon Mesmerize cologne.
I rate this shave as a three pass BBS! These Black Tips are overlooked and underrated when it comes right down to it. This is a fine shave tool. Here's the photo-

Have a great day men!
