Monday, February 13, 2012
Pre-shave soap: Musgo Real Glyce Lime
Razor: 1967 Gillette Slim Adjustable*
Blade: Astra Keramik*
Brush: Simfix Grosvenor LE Two-Band*
Soap or Cream: Penhaligon's English Fern Soap (tallow)*
A/S: Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Trumper's Marlborough Splash*
I think it's fun to shave with discontinued products, especially when they perform as well or better than present-day items. The items with asterisks are, sadly, no longer being produced. I won't say the Slim Adjustable is the equal of the Futur, but it's pretty darned good. It would be difficult to top this morning's shave.

Gentlemen,
It's a cloudy and introspective day here in the province, a good day to stay home with a Russian novel and a samovar of tea. The shave took time this morning, because I felt like shuffling along with a turtle. Here is the shave:
Razor: Feather stainless steel DE
Blade: Feather
Brush: Semogue 730 HD silver tip
Cream: Plisson
Scuttle: Schwarzweisskeramik
Pre-shave: Castle Forbes
Alum
Witch hazel: Thayers Super Medicated
Balm: Institute Karite
Aftershave: Old Spice
Music: A pair of Beethoven "early" string quartets
Finisher: Russian-style tea and a return visit with Fathers and Sons, a novel by the Russian Ivan Turgenev

Morning morning:
Hot towel face prep
Vitos SIS
$.50 chinese boar brush
GEM 1912
GEM SS ptfe (12)
handcrafted bay rum
While the blade clearly isn't new it continues to shave great, though differently, so I continue to use it. Todays shave was another easy 2 1/3 pass BBS .
The $.50 brush I got at a liquidation/surplus inventory/insurance claim salvage store; actually 133 of them- I bought every one they had. I have nio idea who the maker is or what label they were going to have slapped on them, but they are really very nice face lathering brushes.
Some day I need to do a "dirt cheap" shave. The $.50 brush, ARKO, and whatever else I have that is the least costly of it's type. |
