I gave the FOCS the day off as it just seemed like a vintage sort of day. I loaded my absolute favorite vintage razor, my Red Tip, with a fresh Astra SP and lathered up with Arko after a shower.
I adore this razor, it is so efficient and makes such awesome music as it works. Perfect 2 pass shave and a little extra on my swirl.
British Rocket and an Astra SP (should have fully closed the TTO for the picture). Love the nickel finish on it so much more than my chrome superspeeds, wish I could find more vintage Gillettes in nickel rather than chrome.
