Jakob, that Matador is a nice razor, and as always, great photo!
This is an all Tech week for me, thanks to a "challenge" posted at B&B by DeaconKC.
Gear: Gillette ball end Tech, no date codes
Dorco ST-300
VDH Deluxe soap
Tweezerman Brush
Prep: Neutragena Skin Clearing Shave Cream
Hot towel, two minutes
Shave: My usual routine: WTG, XTG, ATG with touch up
A fine shave, once again bordering on BBS, but I'm unwilling to do the extra touch up and blade buffing to get to true BBS...too much time and risk of irratation for the extra gain. I have started going ATG between the nose and upper lip, and am now getting very familiar with the swirling growth patterns below the jawline.
Post: Warm and cold water rinse
"Spice for Men" AS, a dollar store Old Spice clone
Old Spice Classic Cologne
I read that the cheap Old Spice AS knock offs are closer to the vintage Shulton product than the modern Proctor & Gamble formula. The kicker was when my wife rendered her verdict:
"Hmmm, you smell good! What's that you're wearing?"
When I told her it was Old Spice, she replied "No wonder it was so popular, is it considered retro-cool now?"
It is in our house!
