Gillette New Improved

Shave of the Day
October 10, 2013

Omega Cream
Omega boar brush
Gillette New Improved razor
Shark Stainless Steel blade (5)
Pinaud Clubman Classic Vanilla aftershave
Last day for the New Improved. Getting great shaves. I got my start with DE shaving 39 years ago with a New Improved. Next up is the Gillette Goodwill. Using parts from the old type modified to stop the use of the old three hole blade, this razor took only the NEW blades. If you ever wondered about the diamond holes in a DE blade, the holes are for the Goodwill.

Future OC choices for OCtober include Long and Short Comb NEW razors, and the Micromatic Open Comb.

MMOC

Shave of the Day
August 27, 2013

•Omega cream
•EverReady 200M boar brush
•Gem Micromatic Open Comb razor
•Gem coated stainless steel blade
•Pinaud Clubman Classic Vanilla aftershave

Day three of Gem week

I received the EverReady 200M brush a few weeks ago with a batch of razors. I washed it with shampoo. Now it smells like the boar is in my bathroom. I let it sit with Tabac overnight, but still has a boar smell. Hope it wears off soon. The brush has the softest boar I have ever experienced.

The MMOC is still the top Gem in my den.

Gillette Standard Old Type

Shave of the Day


August 12, 2013

•Omega Shaving Cream
•Kingsley badger brush
•Gillette Standard (old type) 1917
•Gillette Silver Blue blade (3)
•Mennen Cooling Blue Skin Bracer aftershave

Back to the past; the Gillette old type Standard from 1917. This razor can dangerous, but used correctly, it is one sweet razor.

I am liking the Omega, but I still would pick the soap over the cream.

The Cooling Blue is a great finish to the shave.

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!
