A DFS,
3 passes without incident, the blade just giving up towards the end, so another blade at 5 and out. I am happy with that as they are less than 10p each.
The 6S has been cleaned and stored for a little while. More Razors to get to know better.
A very nice post shave routine and I am refreshed, clean chinned and smelling good.
Have a great weekend All

A highly unusual morning shave today. Had to make myself presentable for my appointment to give blood for the first time.
If you haven't been before it's quick and pain free. I was in and out within 45 minutes. You get free biscuits too. :)

Fri 12th July
The Grosvenor [404 ] - mixed
Vitos Super Red
Supply SE-V1 /V2 No3 plate
Schick- Chick [ 4 ]
Floid Vigoroso A/S Lotion

After using the "Oldies" [ B1 & F ] went modern with the Supply SE. Despite using the most aggressive plate, I find it still quite mild. The Shave with it is very smooth and with a great Vitos lather, a good close all round finish was attained. Too much TV/Laptop use as plenty of Athletics for me to watch, with some youngsters from my club to watch.

After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:

vintage no name plexi handle silvertip
German Parat/Gillette Platinum Plus (NOS)
older Coates lime cream
no after shave
AOS Sandalwood/Cypress EdT

This razor's a treat....can't believe it's been so long getting it wet again. A very nice gift from Tall Paul years ago that was used a bunch and right now my only 'Rocket' type DE. This looks like the US 1940s superspeed but shinier finish and nicer action. Maybe a bit more weight too, which is a good thing. Heh, I am starting to pull some lesser used razors as a kinda farewell tour maybe. Might as well revisit some fun toys.

These blades are the ones in the silver dispensers but not dated so I am guessing 80s. Yeah, most Gillette blades have the year and month on em. Very smooth, sharp, and one I could easily use every day with no problem.

BBS results,

Martin
