Today would have been my Dad's 78th birthday. (Coincidentally, it is also my oldest daughter's 11th birthday.) So, today I shave with his '53 Gillette black-tipped SS and use Old Spice products since he was Old Spice man. As for the razor, it's not the greatest shaver but, to me, he was the greatest dad. :thumbup1:

Hot Shower with Head and Shoulder's 2 in 1 (The zinc kills ringworm)




I do this too, even use it as a body wash when I come home from the gym. About a year and a half ago I got a spot of ringworm on my face that turned into staph...it was a 2 month ordeal, I did 4 courses of antibiotics. I had a visible rash on my face the whole time, and it made my skin much more sensitive. For a long time my dermatologist was telling me to shave every other day at the absolute most, which I hated. Thats the reason I started wet/single blade shaving...its the only thing thats allowed me to shave daily.

Oh and as far as my shave today...

I'm still getting used to ATG, it's slow progress. The results were excellent this morning, but mostly in the non-ATG areas. Plus, I used far too much cologne and ended up stinking like the proverbial tart's boudoir!

P.s. I haven't found a single Trumpers cologne that my wife doesn't passionately dislike, yet...

Soap - B&B QED Violetta

Aftershave - QED Davinci water followed by Nivea blue label ASB

Cologne - Ralph Lauren Romance Silver (SWMBO's favorite so far:biggrin:)

Overall, a very smooth and good shave. Since spike points are kinda scary at first, I wouldn't say it was anything better than 8 out of 10, but still, very good.

BTW, thanks to Tony Miller for his excellent products, and to Joel's tutorial on the pasted strop, I am now able to enjoy the old razors given to me by my dad...:biggrin:

Joel, Curious how you hold big bad red when you shave. Do you grip the handle or up near the curve/shank part?

Hold it by the wood grip - and put your thumb on the bottom of the "tang" where the worked pattern is for grip. It's actually very comfortable.

Great shave! I picked up a vision and love the aural feedback. It really lets me know when I have the angle of the blade right. I used it at the least aggressive setting and was less irritated than usual, particularly around my throat/under my chin.

It's a very choice razor. I would go as far as to recommend it to an inexperienced DE shaver, provided they keep it closed up, as the heightened aural input is a great learning tool

Sorry guys fairly bad picture but you get the idea...

"bad picture"? No way, Limey. Every photo is a good photo -- sure, some are better, and others are best, but here on B&B's SOTD forum, every photo is a winner!

Did I mention that I lust after that Otto Deutsch razor? with the translucent green scales?

Wow, Jay -- what an incredible SOTD photo! It reminds me of a painting by one of those Dutch masters... full of rich detail, once one's eyes get accustomed to the darkness. Thanks for posting it! [I hope the shave was equal to the quality of your photo :smile:]
