Razor: Gillette Black Handle Super Speed (Z-9, 1979)
Blade: Gillette Nacet, 1st use
Preshave: Cremo Beard & Scruff Forest Blend Cream
Soap: Barbasol Sensitive
Aftershave: Pinaud Clubman โ€œVirgin Island Bay Rumโ€ Aftershave
Balm: Nivea โ€œSensitive Soothingโ€ Balm

A refreshing shave with the Gillette Super Speed from 1979. Since Iโ€™ve been watching 70s game shows (like Match Game) this set up seemed in tune with that. Love the easy Barbasol and the scents of Clubman and Nivea. Just right!

Hello friends

It's a rainy day here. I chose MdC Original, Semogue SOC Boar, Rocca R94 and Perma-Sharp (4) for an impeccable shave. I finished with the delicious Ach. Brito Lavender.

With us, Bill Evans.

Preshave: PAA Cube 2.0 Lathered with liberal use of flairisol mister
Brush: Muehle STF 25 mm in Strawberry Amber
Soap: Martin de Candre Vetyver with use of the flairisol mister
Razor: Muehle R89
Blade: Silver Star (1)
Post: PAA alum, Thayer's Lavender Witch hazel
Splash: Catie's Bubbles Un Jour Gris
Frag: St Johns Vetiver
9.0 DFS
First use of the Silver Star. Not a bad blade. I can't attest to it's sharpness, but, it was very smooth. Everything else this afternoon was great as always. Loading the Cube from a container rather than off the slivers that remained worked a lot better. DFS and easier with two passes and a slight touch up around my mouth. Nary a weeper in sight. Un Jour Gris is frosty and enjoyable as always. I think the Fine version of this was Fresh Vetiver. I may need to get a few bottles to keep up with my Vetiver soaps.

Every morning when I walk in the living room I can pick up the wonderful pine tree scent of the Christmas tree. Brings back childhood memories...

It also reminded me of Stirling Coniferous which I promptly used for this morning's shave.
