Friday...
Soap - Tabac Original
Brush - Semogue 1520 boar
Face lather
Razor - Gillette New Long Comb (1946)
Blade - Gillette Nascet #3
Post - Thayer's and Fine Platinum a/s
At the risk of repeating myself, these vintage Gillettes really are the canine's testimonials. When I got this one I thought, being an open comb, it might be a bit savage. Not a bit of it...smooth as you like and very efficient. Ok, maybe a slight bit more touching up; but perhaps the blade was starting to wane. I believe the short combs or (in particular) the Gillette Olds are tagged with that (arguably unhelpful) term 'aggressive'.
Anyway, enough babbling; BBS, mentholated and contemplating a swim.
