Shower + Ach Brito Glyce face lather and rinse
PannaCrema labdano shave soap
Plisson badger brush
Henckels 6/8" stainless steel straight razor
Cool washcloth rinse
Santa Maria Novella Acqua di Russa cologne
Cat from zoo trip in Costa Rica many years ago!
Maybe try something really mild like a Shark, 'till you get accustomed to the Gillette New Improved, then when you're comfortable with that, go back to the Personna Red. YMMV but that worked for me with this razor.SOTD
Gillette 1925
MWF AND persona Red
The brush was a butter and bred one that came years ago with a shaving bowl and mirror.
The Soap ist to me after this 3 shaves very comfortable. Fine lather and no dry skin feeling after the shave.

Well, for me it was the third shave with a vintage razor like this. The first two times I tried it with a Gillette Platinum, what was with LaToja Soap and the MWF horrible. I ordere a few samples of different blades and gave the Personna Red a try. I can't das that it is much better. Using the Old Spice after I was a screaming like Johnny Weissmuller in Tarzan.....
Any suggestions what blade to use tomorrow?
