It's day 6 of Decadent December, and time to break out one of my favorite Vintage Gillettes, my 1905 Silver Plated Old Type. Looks pretty good for a 114 yr old lady! And boy does she deliver the goods! BBS on both dome and face. Great shave all around! My favorite Cream, mentholated Kapo spiced with 5 additional drops of M-Bomb whipped up to a thick, slick protective lather by my favorite brush came close to putting it in the Cryogen class of cold, but not to that tearing head-shaking level of my wonderful Cryogen. Anyway, the result left me feeling cool and refreshed! Great shave!

After yesterday's disaster shave, today's was a lot better. Even though it was just the sole outing, I can't ever see myself using a badger brush again - I had the worst irritation from the brush that lasted almost 24 hours! It seems aside from a huge number of soaps I can't use, badger brushes are also included.

Anyway chaps, the weekend is almost here. Have a good one!

A nice way to end the working week
The Timeless/Schick pairing may be my favourite razor/blade combo.
The blade is still going strong after four shaves, without showing any drop in sharpness or smoothness.
