. . . But hey, if it was easy, everydody'd be doing it, right?

​

lol . . . when mentioning traditional straight shaving among friends they just cringe and blurt stuff like "Sweeney Todd" . . . only reference they have.

Bond in Skyfall was shaving with a brush and straight and this supposedly created a "renaissance" in traditional shaving methods.
(Bond seems to know how to lather - not sure about endorsing Moneypenny's straight technique however . . .)

Here's a list of Bond razors:

thanks, it's from Trumpers Mayfair store. Old stock, not in their current catalog. I noticed it when I was there last year and after returning to USA, phoned them and they just ran the charge and mailed it to me, ex Vat.

SOTD 5-3-15


Razor: ATT H1 plate with MR1 handle
Blade: Platinum Lux (3)
Soap: TSD (The Shave Den) Signature Scent
Bowl: VDH
Brush: VDH
Post: Gentleman Jon Alum block


Preshave was just face wash with warm water and post shave was rinse with warm water then some cold water splashes and pat dry, then apply the alum block


Razor: As usual, no complaints! Liking the H! very much! Today was the 6th time using it and first for the Krono's handle which I also like..


Blade: This is a good blade and one of my main go-to's so no issues at all!


Soap: Second time with this soap and it is very nice stuff. Lathered easy and alot of it. Great slickness and protection! Post shave feel is very good! No issues at all AND I have pinpointed the scent! IT SMELLS LIKE CHAI TEA! Love the scent!


Comments: Shave was very good and very close. I got a DFS easily and a BBS on most places but part of the neck area. No nick or irritation based on the Aum block. Another very good shave with no issues!


Please feel free to leave comments on any items used as I enjoy reading them to see what others say about the gear I am using/trying out! Of course, YMMV!


Thx
