So we continue with the Super Speeds and today fell to the 1953 Super Speed often referred to as a 40s style Super Speed. This particular 53 is quite efficient and a smooth shaver. It isn’t as aggressive as a Red Tip but much more efficient than other SS of the same era.

Today’s soap is new to me and it was quite nice. Amici by Italian Barber is a light citrus based scent with some grapefruit at the core. The scent is light off the puck and only a little more pronounced on the lather. Soap is slick and provides nice cushion I just wish it was a bit stronger.

Lathered up with the Simpson Colonel again today and again it didn’t disappoint! Lovely two pass DFS achieved and out the door to work we go!

Happy week and shaves to all!

A new Uber/Superlather mix using the W.S. soap bowl which was a total success, providing me a slick protective lather for the shave and leaving a great post shave feeling to the face.

A wonderfully smooth 3 pass + pick ups near bbs shave with no errors to report.

Finishing to the shave off with a generous dollop of Morrisons ~ Intensive Moisture Lotion.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling devine.

R89 with new Treet.

First time I've tried Treet. Very smooth but not quite sharp enough for my taste (my standard is Astra).
