SOTD Saturday 6th December to Friday 12th December

After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:

1964 rebranded Macys silvertip flopmeister fine for creams
Schick F type injector/Schick Plus Platinum (NOS)
DR Harris Marlborough SC
Myrsol Emulsion
Jacomo de Jacomo EdT

Popped a new blade in the aluminum whisker whacking machine from 1941 and went to shaving. Whewiee, good as that adjustable M type is, the F is just a leeetle bit better. Great shave from this goofy looking thang.

BBS results,

Martin

Holy Crap! This razor is silky smooth and mild! I was not expecting that, and had a "where's the blade" moment.
Shannon's soaps are my new favorite. Tons of slippery tallow-based lather. I'm not sure why all of their soaps are green...but they are. :icon_rolleyes:
