SOTD: 25 February - 3 March 2013 - Theme: Free Week

[BRuhling]

Gentlemen,

Thank you for supporting the B&W theme week last week. Some incredible photography and sublime shaves were shown by all. This week, I'll be sporting the same set up all week as I test out some new AS samples for SCS. I'm going French with the TI and a Cade überlather...

Pre hot towel + LEA lanolin soap + Omega 31052 + Gillette Contour Plus with Gillette cartridge + La Toja "Manantiales" splash and balm


Many, many years have passed since last time I used a Contour. I now need a cartridge razor for travelling and I decided to use one as classic as possible like this metallic Contour handle. I have found two more in my family houses in plated colour, but I like this black one more, hehe. I'm going to compare all the Contour compatible cartridges to decide which one will shave me better with this handle, so I started with the most common: Gillette. Later I'll test Wilkinson and Feather ones.


This first shave was not bad, but lubricating strip is a mess...


Cheers!
