Gillette Standard Old Type

Shave of the Day
August 12, 2013

•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.

Gillette Milord 1940 Razor

Shave.of the Day
August 7, 2013
•Tabac soap
•EverReady C40 boar brush
•Gillette Milord razor
•Bluebird blade (4)
•Mennen Skin Bracer

The Milord continues to provide a great shave as I adjust my technique. The boar brush still has an odor, but eventually it will start to smell more like the soaps I use and less animal like.

I have broken in several brushes in the past, and they all take some time.

My shave finished with Skin Bracer, regular scent.
