Proraso red tub soap
Kingsley badger brush

Pinaud Clubman Classic Vanilla aftershave
I may be reaching the limit with this blade. The Standard is a great razor. At 96 years, it shaves efficiently. It is, however, very light in weight.

Tabac soap
Ever-Ready 200M boar brush
Gillette Standard razor (1917)
Gillette Silver Blue blade (6)
Pinaud Clubman Club Royale
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).

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.

September 8, 2013

•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.
