Gillette New Improved razor
Shark Stainless Steel blade (5)
Pinaud Clubman Classic Vanilla aftershave
Last day for the New Improved. Getting great shaves. I got my start with DE shaving 39 years ago with a New Improved. Next up is the Gillette Goodwill. Using parts from the old type modified to stop the use of the old three hole blade, this razor took only the NEW blades. If you ever wondered about the diamond holes in a DE blade, the holes are for the Goodwill.

Future OC choices for OCtober include Long and Short Comb NEW razors, and the Micromatic Open Comb.

Shark Stainless Steel blade (2)
Pinaud Clubman aftershave
A nice close shave from the New Improved, but a bit more tug. Not sure whether it is the razor, the blade, or the angle. Love the Widsor soap. I bought the Windsor for the bowl, because I could not get a bowl with lavender. I will probably buy another bowl of Windsor.

This is my Traveler travel set. The Wee Scott fits the canister perfectly. The Arko would have to be shaved down to fit the other canister.

I may be reaching the limit with this blade. The Standard is a great razor. At 96 years, it shaves efficiently. It is, however, very light in weight.

I will be shaving with open comb razors this month, for it is OCtober. The Gillette Standard gives me a good shave, but if the angle is too high, this razor will tug and pull.
