Proraso green tub soap
Muhle badger brush
Gillette Milord (1940)
Kai blade (4)
Aqua Velva Classic Ice Blue aftershave
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).

•Kingsley badger brush

Back to the Gillette one piece Tech Razor, Milord model, as Gillette called it.

My razor has seen prettier days, but it still shaves like new.

Gillette Tech

Shave of the Day
July 20, 2013

•Proraso green tube
•Muhle badger brush
•Gillette early fat handle Tech
•Feather blade
•Old Spice Musk for Men aftershave

The Gillette Tech was a workhorse for Gillette from1931 to 1973.

The Feather blade counteracts the mildness of the Tech.

The aftershave is vintage. Old Spice India still makes a musk, but I don't know if is the same as this musk.

My bottle is the travel bottle.
