Brush: Shavemac "Kleiner Bayer" 14/42 Silvertip D01 2-Band
Soap: Clubman
Razor: 1939 Gillette NEW RFB GT
Blade: Gillette 7o'clock Black (5)
ASL: Clubman Musk

An excellent shave.

Although my NEW RFB is currently my top favorite OC razor, it's not quite as efficient as my new Yaqi 1.50 OC Sentinel. The Yaqi is certainly pushing for first place on my OC Podium.


Happy shaves guys.

Epic lather from the soap/brush combo & together with the matching splash...the scent is wonderfully aromatic.
Had a very pleasurable shave with this heavyweight razor after being refreshed again on the HBA. Stropped on the roo leather, the edge feels buttery smooth and crisp...

Greetings,

A new shave set up to start the weekend...I have carried on with my blade focus using the Gillette Super Blue another Chinese made blade in comparison with the Gillette London Bridge i used in my previous shaves. Both blades are pretty much equal in both smoothness and efficiency.

I've went full circle with my vintage Gillette Tech's and returned to using my 1940's vintage flat bottom tech & Kanzy K100 to finish my Gillette tech & clone focus month off.

The simple tech razor design is one of my favourites each of my Tech's are special to me if I had to choose a favourite then it would be the earlier models as i find them to be slightly more efficient depending on the blade choice.

A close comfortable acceptable face and head shave with no errors to report. Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Aloe Vera Cooling Gel.

My face & precious swede are feeling super smooth & smelling divine.

Stay safe, and enjoy the start of the weekend ladies & gentlemen.

SE SOTD, Saturday, June 24th 2023

Razor : Oneblade Core SE- Mfg 2017>, mild razor, well built and should last with some care. I used this razor a lot when I first got it and have not used it for a regular shave in some time, not sure how old the de-splined Gem blade is. I use a Supie Gem hack stacked blade arrangement for getting great results. This is one of the few negative exposure razors I have where you can apply a little pressure for closer shaves. Great razor for shaving the back of my neck after a hair trimming also.
Blade : Gem de-splined blade (?), very sharp, great longevity, smooths out nicely + predictable.
Soap : Yaqi Malibu, mild scent with excellent lather qualities.
Brush: Yaqi "Purple haze" 24mm synthetic, excellent lather generator, heavenly cloud like soft tips, gentle splay scrubber + excellent lather painter.
Pre-shave : Dedicated Cashmere synthetic)Brush wash whole face with CeraVe hand bar cleanser with a dollop of clear Aloe Vera on the cleaned beard area.
Prep : Cold water rinse after each pass of 2 + pickups. WTG + ATG + pickups.
Post shave : Italian barber Amici with witch hazel + a dollop of CeraVe moisturizing lotion(scentless).
Results : or CCS,DFS,BBS + no irritation + 1 chin blemish weeper= Great shave with my One blade core with a de-splined Gem blade.

Have some great shaves!
