Wednesday Evening 21/08
  • Razor Valet Auto Strop
  • Blade Valet (New One)
  • Pre-Shave Hot Shower
  • Brush B&B Synthetic Chubby
  • Soap Mitchells Wool Fat
  • Aftershave Polo Blue
I had had another go at a Valet razor Today with a new blade. (And a few day to get over the betting it gave me on Sunday)
A few drops of 3in1 oil on the strop and about six runs each side of the blade.
For those not familiar with the Valet strop see pic.
Its small and thin so if you mess the stropping action up the blade will cut right throw! (these little strops are getting harder to come by)
Great Close shave second pass to touch up only. :)
I Used my flash Aftershave to celebrate.
Cheers all.

If thinking of putting a paste on your strop, it would be best if you had a second strop. Once a strop is pasted, it is pasted for life. There is no way to completely remove the abrasive particles that gets embedded into the surface of the leather.

SOTD Wednesday 21 August
  • Razor Gillette British Rocket FlareTip
  • Blade Gillette Minora Stainless (5)
  • Pre-Shave Tricare Goats Milk
  • Brush Synthetic
  • Cream Palmolive – Coconut extract
  • Post Shave Thayers Witch Hazel Toner
  • Aftershave Brut Splash
  • Balm Nivea – Sensitive Post Shave Balm

The Morning Shave.
The Gillette Minora blade was in my 1950’s Gillette British Rocket FlareTip today.

I am using up an old blade. I find I get a lot of very good shaves from Gillette Blades.
This is #5 on this blade, full head & face shaves. The Minora is quiet mild, very comfortable shave.
My only negative with Minora- I remove and clean my blades with a microfiber cloth after each shave. The print on the blade comes after & the inner wrapper is plain. I keep the blade with the main tuk to remind me which blade it is.

The Gillette British Rocket FlareTip is a classic razor, pure quality. This razor is older than myself, and I am getting old..

SOTD Friday 23 August
  • Razor Gillette Adjustable FatBoy (5) G1
  • Blade Gillette Minora Stainless (7)
  • Pre-Shave Tricare Goats Milk
  • Brush Synthetic
  • Cream Jack the Barber - Sandalwood
  • Post Shave Nivea – Sensitive Pro - Moisturizer
  • Aftershave Brut Splash
  • Balm Nivea – Sensitive Pro - Post Shave Balm

The Morning Shave.
The Gillette Minora blade was in my 1961 Gillette Adjustable FatBoy today.

This is #7 on this blade, full head & face shaves. Still very comfortable shave.
I don’t have a full repertoire of shaving paraphernalia, so changing the background image to make my SOTD photos look a little different.

Can anyone identify the watch?
