Gillette Milord Razor

Shave of the Day
August 10, 2013
•Proraso green tub soap
•EverReady boar brush
•Gillette Milord Razor
•Bluebird blade
•Brisk aftershave

Last day for the Milord, and what a great trial for a new (to me) razor. I have no complaints , and could survive with it as my sole razor.

The Bluebird blade performed so well that I probably could get a few more days out of it if I had to.

However, It is time to switch.

The Proraso is always refreshing, and I could use it daily.

Brisk is a Skin Bracer simile, but I find the scent to be even better.

Milord, It’s a Razor

Posted in Gillette by

Shave of the Day
August 5, 2013

•Taylor of Old Bond Street Lavender soap
•EverReady C40 boar brush
•Gillette Milord Tech TTO razor
•Bluebird blade
•Mennen Skin Bracer Dry Lime aftershave

Another great shave with the Milord. Just a tad more aggressive than a Superspeed. Not as aggressive as a red tip.

I don’t actively collect TTO razors, yet I have acquired quite a few, spanning 30 years or so.

Lavender is my favorite scent for soap. I have the TOBS and a refill for the DR Harris bowl.

Now to the finish. Dry Lime is a discontinued scent. Wonderful citrus scent.

Gillette Milord Razor (1940)

Posted in Gillette by

Shave of the Day
August 5, 2013

•D R Harris Windsor Soap
•EverReady C40 Boar brush
•Gillette Milord razor (1940)
•Bluebird blade (2)
•Aqua Velva Redwood aftershave

The D R Harris soap makes a great lather quickly. The brush was purchased perhaps 20 years ago, but today is its third use. Typical boar so new odor.

Second day with the Milord. Just a bit more aggressive than a superspeed.

The Aqua Velva pairs well with the Windsor. (Sorry that it is no longer available).

Make every day count!

Shave of the Day
August 4, 2013

•Pre De Provence soap
•EverReady C40 boar brush
•Gillette 1940 Milord razor
•Bluebird chromium ceramic platinum tungsten blade (1)
•Pinaud Clubman aftershave

First shave with this razor. Thought it was a Ranger Tech, but in gold, it is a Milord. The case is a Milord case.

Nice shave. Bluebird blade pairs well. Pre de Provence makes a great lather and has a great botanical scent. Clubman is a classic finish to any shave.

Happy Sunday!
