Gillette Black Handle Super Speed

Shave of the Day
September 14, 2013

•Arko stick soap
•Ever-Ready boar brush
•Gillette Black Handle Super Speed
•Gillette 7 o'clock Platinum Blade (3)
•OS Signature aftershave

The Black Handle Super Speed was the last iteration of a venerable line of TTO rasors. Not aggressive at all.

Arko produces copious lather (as long as I remember to use my brush.

The OS signature is a great finish.

Cobra Classic

Shave of the Day
August 16, 2013

•Arko stick soap
•EverReady C40 boar brush
•Cobra Classic Razor
•Kai Captain Titan Mild blade (5)
•Pinaud Clubman aftershave


The Cobra Classic is still my number one razor. I get a fast, easy, close and fast shave. I do experience minor difficulty in shaving the area just under my nose.

The Arko stick produces a great lather with little effort. Finishing with Clubman...it's going to be a great day.

Gillette New Improved

Shave of the Day
July 30, 2013
Grandpa's Razor week

•Arko stick soap
•Kingsley badger brush
•Gillette New Improved razor (1924)
•Astra platinum blade (2)
•Arctic Frost Cooling Aftershave

I would classify the New Improved razor as aggressive. I got an extremely close shave yesterday. 14 hours after my shave, my face still felt like it does after just shaving with a Tech.

The razor is highly efficient. It also looks fierce, with a large blade gap.

Arko soap produces instant and abundant lather.

The Arctic Frost is from Walgreens and is similar to Aqua Velva.
