Gillette Milord TTO

Shave of the Day
August 9, 2013

•Omega Shaving Cream:(
•Kingsley badger brush
•Gillette Milord razor
•Bluebird blade (6)
•Old Spice O S aftershave

I don’t like creams, but for the third time Amazon sent a cream when I ordered a soap. The invoice lists what I ordered, but they picked the wrong product. At least the Omega products are packaged identically, with the only difference being the word soap vs cream. Last time I got two tubes of Proraso when I ordered Tubs.

Enough complaining, the Omega was great. The Milord again performed well with no sign of pulling, even on the sixth use of the blade.

O S is a great finish to any shave. I love the citrus base. My supply is almost gone.

It’s Friday!

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.

Gillette Milord Razor (1940)

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!
