    SOTD
    Gillette 1969 Super 109 on setting number 9. Number 9
    Wizamet Super Iridium (4)
    Razorock BC
    Geoffrey Beane - Grey Flannel aftershave and colonge
    A&E SkinFood.

    This classic aftershave scent of Grey Flannel invoked some ‘you smell NICE’ comments. Which I suppose is better than the ‘what’s that smell’ comments I get from time to time. lol
    The after shave, when combined with the skin food, brought up the level of post shave, to make it competitive with more modern splashes.
    The number 9 setting on this razor is super efficient while remaining a very smooth shave. I did make the mistake of stopping mid pass at one point which caused a weeper but it was easily dealt with by using a bit of alum.
    Over all just a terrific shave here.

    Tried out a Wicked looking Slant today. Yaqi Slant open comb with a S.S. handle I dug out of my drawer. Great shave and this razor is loud. Sounded like it was ripping my face off but left no weepers. Cool.

    I'm not usually much of a SOTD guy, but well, sometimes you have this particular moment you want to share. It's been a long while I had the time and opportunity to work on a vintage blade, and this particular project had everything "just as need to be".
    Without further ado

    Razor ; Pradier circa 1820, ivory and silver
    Badger : travel badger by G. Keller, master badger silvertip, from the travelling set of Fernando Leon y Castillo
    Soap : Mardin de Candre lavender
