Thread: Sun February 06th - Sat February 12th

Prep:Hot Towell
Brush: 24mm Custom in Cherry (time to clean & oil the top again)
Strop:SRD PIV English Bridle
Cream: Vetiver & Bay Bomb
Razor: Vintage Old Style 3 piece Gillette DE (cleaned it up earlier in the week) Wilkinson Sword blade
After shave: Alt Innsbrook
EDT: Cartier Roadster


Result: After all the spectacular DE shaves that all of you gentlemen have been posting, today I had my first ever DE shave (Grant, after I saw your 1st DE shave, it pushed me over the edge to clean this razor up as it's been on my bench for almost 6 months). I was amazed how easy these things are to use. No nicks, cuts, or irritation in 2 passes and quite smooth. I'll be packing this one in the carry on without blades for travel in case my checked bag with my straight is delayed or lost.

Have a great Saturday Gentlemen!

Thats exactly how I see them, surprisingly easy to use, I was a little scared before I started, and its going to make travelling a lot easier. They're fun to use too. Another acquisitions disorder

Thanks Grant! I couldn't stand to see them wasted when I realized that the razor they were on couldn't be restored. If a restorable Roberson comes along that is more worthy of them I may be forced to swap them again
