Omega boar brush
Schick Type F razor

Pinaud Virgin Island Bay Rum aftershave

Cycling some razors that have spent too much time in the drawer, not because I don't love them, but because I love others more.  The Type F shaves great, but looks even better. The three metals complement each other and the Art Deco design is amazing.

Shave of the Day 
June 20, 2014
Soap Commander Confidence soap
Omega boar brush
Gem G Bar razor
Treet carbon steel blade (4)
Pinaud Clubman Club Royale aftershave


Confidence works great and smells great.  

Carbon steel blades must be thoroughly dried right after use. I typically leave them out of the razor, because the razor is harder to dry.

The G Bar is mild, like the Flying Wing and the Push Button.  It does the job, but not as close as the Micromatic Open Comb and the Clog Pruf.

Soap Commander has managed to put a cold glass of sweet tea into their luxury shaving soap.  It reminds me of summer days on my grandmother's front porch.

British Sterling aftershave

Dad's birthday. My dad would have been 90 were he still alive.  He never did well with a blade. I think the blue tip was his final attempt at finding a blade that would work for him. The blue tip has the least blade exposure of the super speeds.  

I got a great shave with it. I tip the silo doors to you dad.
