Black handled Gillette Superspeed Flare tip, landed today from @OrangeSport along with a tuck of Wilkies and a Palmolive stick! I had not shaved this morning so I did so within minutes of this arriving.
Brush is my vintage 400 with Oumo boar. Bespoke Black Suede and Fougere on top of a light coating of bio oil to take the edge off the very close shave I just had with the above (freshly unwrapped blade).
Many thanks to Jason for sending me my birth year Gillette and the kind freebies.

Equally as mild as it's predecessor. But to my mind, I aesthetically prefer the Contour I. Tbh, I like them both in my collection as it's my ocd, but I'll more likely reach for either the two Natural Angle ER's or the Push Button if I want a good result with less work.One razor rarely seen in action. Thoughts?

I'm not sure whether it is related to the scent itself but it means Northwich in Cheshire, as a place at the confluence of 2 rivers, and followed the Signature convention of naming soaps after Roman or Olde Englyshe place names. I think!

I have given my soaps Roman Town/Regions names. Condate is the Roman name for Northwich in Cheshire. Coincidentally I’m doing the Artisan Market there this Saturday. Your task is now to discover the places for your other soaps!Friday 3rd February
I found this 1950s ball end Gillette tech online, made in England, bakerlite box, everything looks virtually new and unused from the factory including a couple of unopened blue Gillette blades.
However, I don’t find old blades, even unused, as good as modern blades. Just my view of course, so loaded an RK. I received a sample of Condaterolleyes soap from Signature with my last order so thought I’d try that. Not sure I get the meaning of the name but it’s super smooth, creamy and with a dominant scent of limes. Certainly one for the future.
The tech never fails to impress me, especially with a decent blade and soap. This one is quite light but with the mildest of pressure during the shave does the job with ease in two passes, wtg, atg plus pick ups for a lovely trouble free finish. Dab of Man Cave moisturiser, followed by Ralphies Polo Sport after shave for a nice end to the week.
Have a great weekend fellas!
