Shave of the Day
September 14, 2013
•Arko stick soap
•Ever-Ready boar brush
•Gillette Black Handle Super Speed
•Gillette 7 o’clock Platinum Blade (3)
•OS Signature aftershave
The Black Handle Super Speed was the last iteration of a venerable line of TTO rasors. Not aggressive at all.
Arko produces copious lather (as long as I remember to use my brush.) The OS signature is a great finish.

•La Toja stick soap
•Ever-Ready 200M boar brush
•Gillette Milord razor (1940)
•Gillette Silver Blue Blade (3)
•Pinaud Clubman aftershave
The 1940 Milord is the best TTO I have ever used. It gives me a BBS shave with no nicks or weepers. While this razor has lost most of its gold plating, the base metal is a lovely brass.
The La Toja produced a great and fragrant lather. Whenever I use a stick, I have to force myself to remember to use the brush. I tend to jump from the stick to the razor.
Clubman is always a fresh way to start the day.

•Proraso Green Tub
•Kingsley badger brush
•Gillette Milord razor (1940)
•Gillette Silver Blue blade (1)
•Proraso aftershave
The Schick Krona gave me a very close shave yesterday. Tech smooth even 12 hours later.
This Milord is not the same one I used last time. This one has lost the gold plating. My kind of user grade razor. An easy close shave.
Proraso soap and aftershave. All I need now is a good aria.

•Omega Shaving Cream
•Kingsley badger brush
•Gillette Standard (old type) 1917
•Gillette Silver Blue blade (3)
•Mennen Cooling Blue Skin Bracer aftershave
Back to the past; the Gillette old type Standard from 1917. This razor can dangerous, but used correctly, it is one sweet razor.
I am liking the Omega, but I still would pick the soap over the cream.
The Cooling Blue is a great finish to the shave.
