Shave of the Day Thread - 2019

[Pbgoose]

Soap: Soap by Luna - Fauno
Brush: Vie Long Black Horse
Razor: Colonial General
Blade: Schick Proline (5)
I love this sport! Luna's soaps are lovely to use. The General has still got it! The Vie Long is enjoyable to use. Nice way to start the day when a shave comes together, plus it's Friday!

G&F handle with a tech head + Astra
B&M Classic in reserve

absolutely no effort in today's shot (apologies), but the wife and I were up 13 times with sick kids last night, so little to no energy. Shave was good though.​

Off for a day trip to LST. Fenchurch it was. Lovely shave.

The QF flight to MEL was cancelled last night so slumming on VA on the way down. Let’s see how that goes!

Thought I'd been on P&C long enough to speak acronym. Obviously not.

Oh, of course. My flight volcabulary is limited to QF Syd Dbo

I was talking to one of my practitioner's the other day and they asked how my trip to Africa went. I said 'What!?'

It took me a moment to twig but on the previous visit I had mentioned I was travelling to Wilcannia for work. They thought I must be important to have a job that took me to 'Kenya'. I explained that was not quite the case.

Really nice rose scent on this soap. Don't know if it's discontinued but I'd highly recommend it if you can get it.

Blade: Vintage NOS Gillette Stainless Steel (1)
No idea what vintage these are (PIF BY @eggbert)

I think most of the vintage Gillette blades can be dated by the age codes on them like the razors.

This ones code is ‘K 3’. If this website is accurate: http://www.safetyrazors.net/gil_ser2.htm it could be from 1965

Shaving with a blade older than yourself. Even older than me. You should get yourself a nice vintage razor to go with them. I have a very nice '69 Black Beauty if you are interested

Definitely a surreal experience for sure.

Are you striving for another enabler of the month award? I wouldn’t mind having a look at the Black Beauty at the next Darwin meetup
