A nice Mona Lisa smile on that blade, or is that an optical illusion? :)

The slightest smile, enigmatic if you will. This razor was a great pick up some years ago, I suspect never used with razor wrapped in original wax paper and stored in well preserved coffin with original cardboard price tag in old money attached by string. Sings on the strop….. always a good sign. Oh for the old days, where perfection was the norm and not the exception.

The Morning Shave.

The Gillette Jianyu blade was in my 1964 Gillette Slim Adjustable today.
Very comfortable daily shave blade. No nicks or weepers.
The Vulfix Pure Badger is a classic brush, easily produces a glossy lather from the Wilkinson Sword soap. Not an artisan soap but a great fresh citrus scent.

The Morning Shave.

The Treet 7 Days Platinum was in my 1969 Gillette Super Adjustable 109 today.
Very nice end of the week daily shave blade. I find I have a more comfortable daily shave with the 7 Days as opposed to the 7am. YMMV.

I really like Nivea products; I have used them for many years, always amazing value and quality.
The Sensitive Pro cream really lathers up, it does need a bit of water like most creams.
A light fresh floral scent however the scent does dissipate quite quickly.

I use the Sensitive Pro Facial balm post shave while I’m cleaning up. A tiny amount really goes a long way for a full face & head shave.

Brut is my go-to daily splash, love the scent. The Nivea post shave cooling balm is really cooling, especially if I have used a sharp blade.
