1965 Gillette Super Speed Flair Tip
Astra Superior Platinum Blade
Tabac Shaving Soap
Omega Boar
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Brut Original ASB
Brut Original Cologne
Results: BBS and wonderfully nostalgic!

Tried to follow Bill's (Legalbeagle) lead this morning and keep it simple and effective. Nothing is more simple and effective as a '65 Gillette SS Flair Tip (my Daughters birth date razor) followed by a splash of good old Brut Original Cologne. (I was using Brut when my Daughter was born) The Gillette Super Speeds always deliver a great shave and are pretty hard to beat. Definitely an "Oldie but Goodie"!

Bruce,
Simple and nice...but I must say that aside from your fabulous collection of straights, you have quite an awesome set of DEs. Very nice.

Thanks Robert! Yes, RAD is an equal opportunity inflicter! I have 30 (I think) DE & SE along with the 33 Straights so, I'm pretty much razor poor!

Gillette Super Adjustable short handle/Perma Sharp Blade/Simm's Brush with Overstuffed TGN Silvertip/Arko SC/Arko ASB

This Super adjustable @ 7 performed flawlessly on my face that had very little stubble. Two easy passes and I was left with a smooth as silk BBS n sweeeeeeeet shave.

Enjoy your shaves today, Gentlemen.

I know that the wool fat that's used is a complex mixture of different kinds of fats, but in the presence of lye, it breaks into simpler fatty acids. If you knew which you had allergies to (I reckon they can do simple skin tests these days), one could tailor a formulation that avoids that component, freeing you to enjoy the full benefits of MWF.

Can you check with a dermatologist to see what can be done? If not, come here, I will make a "drug" that will get rid of that allergy...I can't speak highly about the side effects (liver failure, brain meltdown, etc...nothing serious really ), but at least you will have no allergies to MWF.

Robert, it´s almost on that level, MWF is so nice. Maybe a small pill then

Prep:Hot Towel
Brush:THater 23mm
Strop:SRD PIV English Bridle
Uberlather:Carrie M's Sandalwood, AOS Sandalwood soap, 5 drops glycerin
Razor: Kama
After shave: Brut
EDT: L'Occitane Vetyver


Result:After no shave yesterday and seeing Glen's (Gssixgun) Kama, I was inspired to use the Kama I got from him. 2 passes was all that was needed. A very relaxing, effortless shave. I did give myself a slice on the chin when going XTG, still an amazing shave.

Cheers!

Glenn
