I was, moments ago, remembering an intoxicating shave! Glad you enjoyed it so much. And that is a wonderful looking brush! I love the chessboard style.

Thanks Eric

Razor: Gibbs Adjustable/4
Blade: Wizamet (2)
Brush: Teton Zen Series "Bob Ross"
Soap: A&E Rèvolution
AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
AS 2: A&E Rèvolution Splash
Fragrance: Viktor & Rolf Spicebomb

Just an amazing scent in the A&E Rèvolution which is their dupe on Spicebomb. One of my favorites and actually can't wait to get the soap in their latest base, whatever that will be when I finish this tub. I can't remember the new artwork but prefer the simplicity of this labeling. The Gibbs Adjustable is just such a smooth and yet efficient shaver. I've settled on setting 4 but remember when borrowing one from a friend it was just as smooth all the way to maxed out. Being a daily shaver, I seldom have a need to go to the max settings. Absolutely feel great and smell better. Have a stupid fun day DFS !!!!

Gibbs looks great! Did you find it like that or did you have to do some cleaning? Looks NOS!

Thanks Chris ! Bought on the BST (Timing was everything for this) Near mint and arrived as you see it pretty much along with the original case , blade banks and the aftermarket Brass handle that Clouds makes for these all at a VERY reasonable price.

"Ugly Razor" shave for another neighborhood:
So to make up for my Faux Pas of missing the "Ugly razor" shave yesterday, I went with 3 today. Not necessarily the ugliest ducklings around but after this many years most have either been cleaned up or reassigned elsewhere. So in order I went with wtg with the Boker "Our Own", xtg with the Autostrop and atg with the Yuma. I notice these Yuma's being hawked on the Bay as vintage but know they are still making them and copies in different areas. I got this one back in the day for a buck something from Best Shave in Turkey when they were still in business. Hard to believe this pot metal razor is still together as it was my daily driver and only razor for @3 years. The Arko soap is hated by many and loved by some. To me I get a synthetic lemon scent. I see how some could think urinal cake scented. I also think it will smell on whatever you let your mind settle on. I tend to not let mine drift to urinals when I'm shaving and so it's a soap to grab on rare occasionally although not often. Brush s the 1st brush I ever bought back in 1979 and has a story behind it. Needless to say it is well broken in and still a great latherer. The mug, a 3d test print for me. LLoonngg work day today so let's "Kick this Pig" Have a Stupendous day Everyone !!!
