Yes, I know that the Milord is my favorite razor.  I will be using other razors thus month.  The Cobra, the Merkur Progress, the Merkur and iKon slants, and the Gillette Black Beauty adjustable and the Fat Boy are all in the wings. So many razors, so little time.

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).

Milord 1940

Shave of the Day
September 11, 2013

•La Toja stick soap
•Ever-Ready 200M boar brush
•Gillette Milord razor (1940)
•Gillette Silver Blue Blade (3)
•Pinaud Clubman aftershave

The 1940 Milord is the best TTO I have ever used. It gives me a BBS shave with no nicks or weepers. While this razor has lost most of its gold plating, the base metal is a lovely brass.

The La Toja produced a great and fragrant lather. Whenever I use a stick, I have to force myself to remember to use the brush. I tend to jump from the stick to the razor.

Clubman is always a fresh way to start the day.

•Proraso Green Tub
•Kingsley badger brush
•Gillette Milord razor (1940)
•Gillette Silver Blue blade (1)
•Proraso aftershave

The Schick Krona gave me a very close shave yesterday. Tech smooth even 12 hours later.

This Milord is not the same one I used last time. This one has lost the gold plating. My kind of user grade razor. An easy close shave.

Proraso soap and aftershave. All I need now is a good aria.

Gillette Milord Razor Week

Shave of the Day
August 10, 2013
•Proraso green tub soap
•EverReady boar brush
•Gillette Milord Razor
•Bluebird blade
•Brisk aftershave

Last day for the Milord, and what a great trial for a new (to me) razor. I have no complaints , and could survive with it as my sole razor.

The Bluebird blade performed so well that I probably could get a few more days out of it if I had to.

However, It is time to switch.

The Proraso is always refreshing, and I could use it daily.

Brisk is a Skin Bracer simile, but I find the scent to be even better.

Gillette Milord TTO

Shave of the Day
August 9, 2013

•Omega Shaving Cream:(
•Kingsley badger brush
•Gillette Milord razor
•Bluebird blade (6)
•Old Spice O S aftershave

I don't like creams, but for the third time Amazon sent a cream when I ordered a soap. The invoice lists what I ordered, but they picked the wrong product. At least the Omega products are packaged identically, with the only difference being the word soap vs cream. Last time I got two tubes of Proraso when I ordered Tubs.

Enough complaining, the Omega was great. The Milord again performed well with no sign of pulling, even on the sixth use of the blade.

O S is a great finish to any shave. I love the citrus base. My supply is almost gone.

It's Friday!

Gillette Milord Razor

Shave.of the Day
August 7, 2013
•Tabac soap
•EverReady C40 boar brush
•Gillette Milord razor
•Bluebird blade (4)
•Mennen Skin Bracer

The Milord continues to provide a great shave as I adjust my technique. The boar brush still has an odor, but eventually it will start to smell more like the soaps I use and less animal like.

I have broken in several brushes in the past, and they all take some time.

My shave finished with Skin Bracer, regular scent.

Shave of the Day
August 5, 2013

•Taylor of Old Bond Street Lavender soap
•EverReady C40 boar brush
•Gillette Milord Tech TTO razor
•Bluebird blade
•Mennen Skin Bracer Dry Lime aftershave

Another great shave with the Milord. Just a tad more aggressive than a Superspeed. Not as aggressive as a red tip.

I don't actively collect TTO razors, yet I have acquired quite a few, spanning 30 years or so.


Lavender is my favorite scent for soap. I have the TOBS and a refill for the DR Harris bowl.

Now to the finish. Dry Lime is a discontinued scent. Wonderful citrus scent.

Milord a Gillette

Shave of the Day
August 5, 2013

•D R Harris Windsor Soap
•EverReady C40 Boar brush
•Gillette Milord razor (1940)
•Bluebird blade (2)
•Aqua Velva Redwood aftershave

The D R Harris soap makes a great lather quickly. The brush was purchased perhaps 20 years ago, but today is its third use. Typical boar so new odor.

Second day with the Milord. Just a bit more aggressive than a superspeed.

The Aqua Velva pairs well with the Windsor. (Sorry that it is no longer available).

Make every day count!

Gillette Milord Razor (1940)

Shave of the Day
August 4, 2013

•Pre De Provence soap
•EverReady C40 boar brush
•Gillette 1940 Milord razor
•Bluebird chromium ceramic platinum tungsten blade (1)
•Pinaud Clubman aftershave

First shave with this razor. Thought it was a Ranger Tech, but in gold, it is a Milord. The case is a Milord case.

Nice shave. Bluebird blade pairs well. Pre de Provence makes a great lather and has a great botanical scent. Clubman is a classic finish to any shave.

Happy Sunday!
