Hello all, shave #19 of OCtober 2014.

Razor; 1919 Combination set Gillette Single Ring.
Blade; 1956 Gillette Blue Blade.
Brush; Chinese Badger Hair brush.
Cream; LaToja.
ASB; Nivea.
Cologne; 360 Red.

An excellent shave. Very close to include two or three weepers. The 1919 Single Ring was one that had the thin cap and comb guard. These give a bit closer shave than the thicker ones in my opinion. I also left the inner barrel a little loose, so it would be a more aggressive shave. End result- BBS in two passes. Here's the photo-View attachment 510702
A very nice set indeed.
 
Kudos to the gentlemen that are able to use a different OC razor every day. That is a great bit of collecting..

Hi,

+1 as well.

I have two. Had five, but passed the three NEWs on to others once I found out the Fasan worked better. Of course, I had to keep Grandpa's Old Type. :)

Oh, and Day 24 Shave 26: used the Fasan only.

Eisen Lothringen OC / Feather (1)




Very smooth - a touch less efficient than a Gillette OT even with a Feather blade. Still, very nice shave!
