The Morning Shave.

The Gillette 7 O’clock was in my Gillette British Rocket FlareTip 1950’s today.
Vert nice effortless daily shave, very smooth DFS.
The quality we come to expect from Gillette Blades.

The British Rocket FlareTip is a sentimental favorite razor, my dad used one of these all his life when I was back in the UK.

How's Wolfy?
And how the soap? is this real PURE lavender

Loving the Wolfy, definitely don't regret the expense, worth every penny. The soap has an unusual scent, they've added rose geranium, it's a very nice combination. The lather is strange, though. It seems quite frothy, and it doesn't build up the shine we're used to from tallow soaps. It seems to get the job done though.

  • Razor Gillette Adjustable FatBoy (5) G1 1961
  • Blade Gillette Wilkinson Sword - India
  • Pre-Shave Pears soap (Mint)
  • Brush Synthetic
  • Cream Palmolive – Coconut Extract
  • Post Shave Thayers Witch hazel - Unscented

The Morning Shave.
The Gillette Wilkinson Sword was in my 1961 Adjustable FatBoy G1 today.
Refreshing light daily shave, very smooth. I find the Wilkinson Sword blades to be a little mild.
A great blade for anyone new to Safety Razor shaving. Limited chances of any nicks or discomfort.

I went for the Thayers Witch hazel this morning. I haven’t used this for a while. A nice warm morning the Thayers was refreshing.

Add natural glycerine into the soap as you bowl lather, this will give you some shine and thickest to the lather.
