Greetings,

A relaxing Sunday morning shave.

The Bath House soap provided a wonderful lather in a short space of time. I find this shaving soap similar to MWF which i like very much, it's fragrance to my nose is a very pleasant 'Spicy' scent which is a great autumn/winter soap, but i use it if and when to my fancy not just for the colder months of the year... Another soap that gives a fantastic post shave feel.

The 1960's slim twist was my first vintage Gillette DE razor which was kindly passed on to me by a friend of the family. I've said this on many occasions, it still amazes me that a near 60-year-old vintage razor can still shave so smoothly.

After the comfortable shaves I've had with the Dorco st300 blades, I've carried on using the Korean made Dorco titan another blade that paired together with the wonderfully.

Like the ST300, the Dorco titan may not be the sharpest blade but, they are smooth sharp & very forgiving.

An enjoyable 2 pass + pick-ups close comfortable shave with no errors to report. Finishing to the shave off with a few small dollops of Nivea Men Fresh Moisturising Gel

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling divine. 😉

Stay safe and enjoy your Sunday ladies & gentlemen. 😎

Since I had a rare week of staying home, and not traveling, I concentrated on my high zoot modern razors. But I had to get a great vintage shave in before this SOTD Vintage week was over. So on my way out the door for my current trip, I grabbed a NEW SC. What a great razor. Smooth and efficient. It took me literally years to like this razor. I always thought the LC was better, smoother, and more effective. So it sat and sat. But this is a lovely specimen of the NEW SC, so it stayed in the collection. Until one day I pulled it out for themed shave, or comparison thread, and discovered that with the evolutions in my technique over the years of not using the NEW SC, it pulled ahead of its NEW LC brothers in terms of performance. So now I have been grabbing the SC more. I am very glad to have held onto this one!

In a location requiring a fast shave so no brush. This cream is so good that only a pea-sized rub on the face generated enough slick lather for a 2-pass shave with the excellent vintage razor at set9 paired with the superb blade...
