Gillette Aristocrat

Shave of the Day
July 15, 2014
Wet Shaving Products (WSP) Test Soap
Omega Boar brush
Gillette Aristocrat (1947) razor
Astra blade (2)
OS Signature aftershave

Although the razor is new to me, the head design is not.  

The soap has no scent. I lathered it from the smallest tin I have ever seen.   The lather took a lot of water and bloomed densely.  It was durable, slick, and easy to rinse out of the razor.  

If MDC made an unscented, this would be it.  

I am going to use it again tomorrow.

Cella Cream
Kingsley badger brush
Gillette Blue Tip Super Speed razor (B4)
Gillette 7 o’clock sharp edge blade (4)
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.
