I received a PM from
@Dobbo25 a fellow member asking me if I would like to try a tuck of NOS Gillette Rubies, well I don't need asking twice, yes sir and thank you very much! A day later a small package arrived with said tuck of blades plus around ten assorted NOS blades, well I was like a dog with two tails......keeping it clean, this is a family show!
so today I cracked open the Rubies and put one in my Eskimo to test.
The soap was lathered apon my face with a brush that is as soft as a cloud and it was good, a great scent and lather to match. I proceeded to shave not knowing what to expect, I know and love modern Rubies but would these be the same.......yes the same, sharp and smooth and the razor cut through my stubble with ease but these felt better because they come from a time that has passed and I know I can't just order a tuck from ebay. There is something special about shaving with these old blades and I get a kick out of it everytime I use a NOS blade, I know I can't be the only shaver to feel this way.
Smooth skinned and feeling good, this was a most excellent shave, thanks P. (

To finnish off I stuck to the lavender theme and sloshed about the Puig Agua Lavanda Cologne, just perfect.
It's Friday the 13th so let's be careful out there..........hogwash! Have a nice day folks.....P.
