I will be shaving with open comb razors this month, for it is OCtober. The Gillette Standard gives me a good shave, but if the angle is too high, this razor will tug and pull.

Gillette One Piece Tech

Shave of the Day
September 18, 2013

•Tabac soap
•Ever-Ready boar brush
•Gillette One Piece Tech Milord razor
•Gillette Silver Blue blade (5)
•Pinaud Clubman Club Royale aftershave


Again with that 1940 Milord. I have never had a better shave. I used the diagonal pattern recommended by Gillette. It produced an amazingly close shave.

Tabac is the most amazing soap. A unique scent and lather that is unstoppable.

The Club Royale is strong enough to stand up to the Tabac scent.

My well worn Milord has earned a place in my permanent rotation (that is if I use any other razor again).

Gillette New Improved Shave

Shave of the Day
July 31, 2013
Grandpa's razor week

•Tabac soap
•Muhle badger brush
•Gillette New Improved razor
•Astra blade (3)
•Pinaud Clubman Club Royale aftershave

Day three of the New Improved. I am getting used to the way it shaves.

I see a lot of similarities with the short comb NEW.

The Astra continues to perform well.

Tabac is a great soap with a strong scent. The Clubman Club Royale pairs well with it.
