Today I end one cycle as we move forward in another.  This is the final brush of the experience brushes on the shelf, the last brush on the right, bottom row.

It's a really nice butterscotch Made Rite pure badger #95:

I'm on the second pairing of Phase 2, this time a no serial number, no date code Gillette Old style likely from around 1922 from near the end of the Old run and after the New Improved had been introduced.  The blade is a "Made in England" Wilkinson Sword blade. The Gillette Old will be paired against one of my GEM MMOCs that was from somewhat later, probably end of the twenties and into the 1940s at least.


The shave today was simply as expected, smooth, effortless, comfortable, enjoyable and over too soon. The soap was from Above The Tie and while it lathers well, lubricates well, feels great I'm just not sure about the smell.  I'll keep trying it and see if things change.


The after shave was Ogallala Bay Rum and while I love the smell I do have an allergic reaction when I use it, even getting itchies and redness between my fingers.  It goes away quickly but once this is gone I doubt I will reorder it.

To be vintage it must be older than me!
The last razor I bought was the next to last razor I will ever buy!

Weber DLC with Bulldog handle - Yes! Very nice ratio of smoothness vs efficiency. I am going to play a little with blades and handle and expect shave of week/month. Smile
