Shave of the Day - 2024

Not open for further replies.
About 5 days since my previous shave heh I used a NEW Long comb for the WTG pass and a 40s style Superspeed for the rest of the shave. I can’t remember the blades in the razors, likely a Gillette SS from the 70s and a…oh, hell, I’ll just go check. So, as I was saying, a GBE and a Made in Sweden Schick Stainless from 1973 (Halmstad factory). Followed by a splash of vintage Aqua Velva Ice Blue. A great shave, the kind that makes you smile in the morning. :-)

Shave Report: Lilac is not for everyone but I don't mind it for a change and the memories it sparks of a younger time at my grandparents house. The Shield DE5 with the Dorco Prime blade gave another very pleasant smooth close shave with just a few weepers but no skin irritation.
