Today I got another British made Gillette Parat in the mail, this time in box and in much better condition than the one I already had (which will now go in my PIF pool):

This mornings selections:

Williams Shaving Soap
Edwin Jagger Best Badger Brush
Late 40's Gillette Tech
Family Dollar Blade (blade sampler on the way from West Coast Shaving)
Nivea After Shave Balm
Ogalla Bay Rum Aftershave

Although I've been wetshaving for about 35 years, I am fairly new to DE shaving. I've managed to acquire several nice vintage razors, but I'm still in the process of "finding" all sorts of assorted soaps, creams, aftershaves, blades, etc., and I must admit, I'm really rather enjoying it.

yesterday a little more daring

CIMG1077-1.jpg


Lavender AOS, Conks brush, Cucumber eshave creme, Alum Block, unscented witch hazel
E. Weck & Co. Hair Shaper w/ Personna hair shaper blade.
Very nice close shave but a bit awkward. This time almost blood free. Beats the skin graft first time I used it.

Tom,

Robert, I like the Merkur, pretty smooth from the first shave. Got them and the Conk brush at "All Makes Electric" 143 S. 13th St. I'll be getting a strop there soon. Picked up a couple cheepo bristle shave brushes for hat use at $5.00 per. Take a look when downtown again.
