Another Tech shave to end the vintage shave week, Stand up a brand spanking new NOS 1950 Aluminium UK Version.
I really do not understand why anything changed since these were in daily production. They are a brilliant razor, no matter what blade I place in them.
Another great lather from the Vintage Cussons and the Vulfix, today i left it as is, without any additions, still a very slick lather and enough for 3 passes WTG , XTG & AGT.
I say 3 passes, well actually the 3rd pass was more of a fingertip search and destroy buffing mission and the results are comfortable BBS shave.
No indications from the block, a nice splash of cold water and the addition of witch hazel.
The NOS Perma Sharp Supreme on its 4th outing still doing the buisness, such a smooth comfortable blade - for me.
Now i said i would not use the peppermint Barts again, however, i hate waste, therefore it got another go today as i love the post shave feel i get from it - cooool, holding my nose until i got the OSP E&M aftershave on, COOOOLer. Just spot on for a warm day.
So to say i am refreshed is an understatement, what a brilliant shave.
Have a great afternoon All and look forward to your weekend.
