Weber Bulldog (maiden shave!)
Sputnik [1]
Omega 10810
Arko Stick face lathered
Wow, these Weber's BITE! Much more aggressive that I imagined, but what a weapon it is! 1st pass not as close as the 37c, but after 2nd pass they are on a par.

After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:
vintage rebranded butterscotch Simpsons best
Schick F type injector/Gillette Platinum Plus (NOS)
RL Safari SS
Lucky Tiger AS and Face Tonic
RL 'Safari' EdT (vintage juice)
I was looking at three favorite razors to choose from this morning. There's the Webly, the Executive, and what I once again ended up using...this goofy aluminum handle injector. I get on a jag with that thing and can't seem to break the spell. Probably my 6th or 7th shave with this sharp old blade and still going strong. What a crazy thing to pick, out of everything else available in the arsenal. I definitely need a back up.
Saw one that recently sold for $55, although no telling how high the winner was gonna bid if needed. Without a doubt one of the biggest surprises when it comes to a great fit. Looks so aggressive but it ain't.

Today shaving like dad.
Over the sink,
Brush: Turkish No.6
Razor: Gillette Slim Twist NOS
Blade: Edison Stainless (1)
Shaving cream: Henckel Sod Shaving Cream
AS: Aqua Velva ice blue
This Israeli old school cream is really nice, clean tobacco scent and not too bad lather.
The blade is also a very old Israeli brand Edison now made by Personna in Israel, I might pop a couple in the blades Pif when and where.
Blade is similar to other uncoated Personnas from the same factory, not too smooth but sharp as hell.
