I'm going to start participating here at My first full face shave for a while as I hacked off my beard today. I'll finish the month with a few vintage razors.
Here's my SOTD
*****
13/1/21
Brush - Omega 11819
Soap - Vitos Red Coco
Razor - Gillette New OC
Blade - Gillette 7 Yellow
Post - Cien Aqua
AS - Brut Oceans
It seemed like for a vintage themed month it would be right to use a boar brush, and gave my well broken in and favourite brush the Omega 11819 a go today, and even though it's not a vintage soap - Vitos Red seems like a very old fashioned tallow shaving soap.
Now onto the shave, last night I hacked my 3 month old beard to Grade 1 with clippers, and today I cleared the remaining stubble/stragglers the Gillette New OC paired with a 7 Yellow in 3 passes. I'm really impressed with the Gillette New OC, it's the most efficient vintage Gillette I own, and it was very smooth paired with the 7 Yellow, a blade I find to be a bit too much in some razors but worked a delight with the New OC.
