Haven’t posted for a while (ailing elderly father), but maybe this pic of my new Schick Type F injector will put me back in good SOTD standing.

I am most grateful to @rlroadie2004 for finding this beautiful razor — you rock, Russ!

They are beauties, aren't they. My Type Fs are my all time favorite shavers, too. This is truly an outstanding pic!

I'm sorry to hear about your father. I've been there.

Greetings,

Another early start to the weekend..A new shave set up to start the weekend...In my previous shave i used the Bolzano Superinox blade on it's ninth outing, today with some trepidation i used it on it's tenth use. The verdict?

The blade Still felt amazingly smooth & sharp with no signs of tugging, resulting in a very comfortable 3 pass + pick ups silky smooth shave with no errors to report.

I don't intend to use this blade for a eleventh use, as to get ten comfortable 3 pass + pick ups shaves with no errors or tugging issues is truely remarkable..I never thought i would be able to get ten error-free comfortable 3 pass shaves + pick ups from one DE razor blade.Amazing.

Finishing to the shave off with a few liberal squirts of Tommy Hilfiger ~ Bold EDT to the pulse points.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling devine.


Enjoy the start of the weekend, ladies & gentlemen.

The grooming dept duck soap is the real deal. Whoa.
This new Schick Krona is awesome. Smooth, solid, mild.
These dorco titans are nice. Their Vietnam facility really has their act together.
Razorock 24 barrel synthetic brush. Great brush.
The tcheon Fung sing panta rei aftershave smells like angel men. Almost too sweet for me, but definitely good.

Saturday.

Prep: Hot towel

Pre shave: Prep

Razor: ‘The Rock’ (Rockwell 6S – #3)

Blade: Gillette Bleue Extra

Brush: 'Mama Chub' (Chubby 2 Two Band)

Soap: Barrister & Mann: Vespers

Post: Cold water rinse / Witch Hazel / Chatillon Lux Santal Auster Post-Shave Salve

Vespers rocked up during the week, and provided the base for a faultless shave, but, then again, it was to be expected..

Three days growth and the end to a busy week couldn’t come any sooner. Decided to crack the case on the 53 Super Speed and give it a go and quite glad I did. Loaded up with a Personna Platinum and a perfect match. I can’t say enough about Fine Fresh Vetiver as a soap and AS. I also have Italian Citrus and both are fantastic. Face lather with the Chubby 1 and more than enough for 3 passes. BBS and a perfect shave. The 40’s style Super Speeds are pretty awesome and this one is up there with my Aristocrat Jr. (49-52 - England) for efficiency and smoothness. Happy shaves!

Rating: 5 / 5

Razor: Gillette Super Speed 1953
Blade: Personna Platinum (3)
Brush: Simpson Chubby 1
Lather: Fine Fresh Vetiver
Aftershave: Fine Fresh Vetiver
