Single Edge Sunday
Burham (1909 Patent) / Gem SS PTFE (5)
Arko Stick
Vie-Long 4312 Horsehair
Every Man Jack Mint Face Lotion
Old Spice Modern AS and Cologne
Yesterday's shave with the Schick N2 and a Chick blade on the 5th use was less than stellar, not at all what I am used to using any setup, much less a Schick. Today i used the smallest lightest razor in my modest collection, the 1909 Burham. This is the 5th time I have used this little single edge and each time I have not been dissapointed with the quality of my shave. Today was no different, Dolphin smooth BBS, as good as it gets (AGAIG). This is a very simplistic design, a one piece razor where the blade just slides up under the spring and that's it. The one knock on this razor is the extremely thin handle and it's light weight. You have to make sure that you keep your hands dry or the handle can be slippery and hard to grip. This little known jewel is one of my most prized pieces I have, and it comes in the cardboard box with the instructions and original blade. The Arko stick was face lathered with my first Vie-Long horsehair brush, the 4312 which is very long and floppy but lathers like a beast. Post shave face feel is smooth and soft and the Old Spice left me smelling great. A shave that is TWGW approved.
