Scent: APR The Santal EdP
It is no exaggeration to say that this evening's shave was exceptional. I continue to be impressed with the Murphy and McNeil soaps. They are very easy to lather, and the sheen generated has to be seen to be believed. The P74 blade, securely held by the Blackbird, glided around my face with ridiculous ease, allowing me to get very close blade/skin contact yet with a very light touch. Three supremely comfortable passes and I am BBS.
Decided to treat myself to a splash of APR's The Santal - the purest expression of sandalwood that I have encountered.

Monday morning and back to work after a lovely weekend. Reached for the 1956 Gillette Red Tip Super Speed today really just to satisfy my curiosity as to how aggressive this razor was. I have been on a kick of “aggressive” razors including the Blackland Dart, iKon Tech, Timeless Bronze OC .78 all excellent and efficient. I remember being able to feel the Red Tip compared to other Super Speeds In my collection. Well I loaded up with a Bolzano to give it a go.
Tabac was the soap of choice and today was the shave stick. I also have the traditional soap in the ceramic bowl. I love Tabac in all its glory! So easy to get a lather going with this stick especially when you have a wall of Badger like the Chubby 2 working it up! Very slick and smooth!
So with Red Tip in hand I got through a wonderful two pass shave. Smooth, smooth! No where near as aggressive as I remember which I might just attribute to the really efficient ones I have been using of late. Still a wonderful razor the Red Tip Super Speed.

Monday OCtober 7
Hitting cleanup, one of the pride of my collection, Gillette British Aristocrat #15.
Bowl/Scuttle - GP12
Soap - MWF
Brush - Rubberset 200-4
Blade - Feather HI SS (6)
Razor - 1938 Gillette British Aristocrat #15
Post Shave - OSMA Pierre alum, Baum.BE A/S balm
Shave rating 5 of 5
Had to take a few days off from shaving - surgery on my left hand on Friday and had some pain issues over the weekend so didn't want to risk it. My 4th OCtober shave is with one of my favorite razors period; a 1938 Gillette British Aristocrat #15. The shave was so smooth, the razor feels so solid and has good heft. There was a little bit of blade feel (which I like) but not overly aggressive. My Monday soap was MWF and that is a very good soap - I just wish I had more. The Rubberset 200-4 brush is a little floppy for my taste but still did a good job. Post shave, the alum reported very little - one little weeper - which I think backs up how good the razor and shave were. The shave was BBS on 2 passes with no follow-up needed.
I'm not sure I'll shave Tuesday, may wait an extra day so I can look through my razors to see which one is next AND use MWF again (as if I need an excuse).
Happy OCtober and great shaves everyone.
