Welcome to another week, Gentlemen.

This week has a vintage theme, so break out your vintage gear and let's see your best efforts at "old-time" photography. I set my time machine to the mid to late 1960s for today's shave. Next week, the theme will be "Autumn" shaves.

GILLETTE OC | SILVER BLUE | PLISSON | ETON COLLEGE

$sotdsept15.jpg
$GilletteOC.jpg

For quite a while I have wanted to try an OC. Since I am on a bit of a budget I have been on the lookout at antique stores, garage sales, and junk stores. Last weekend I came across this razor. Its a a gold ball end Canadian Gillette OC......hats all I know about it. I don't know the year or anything like that. What I do know is that this razor shaves wonderfully. My wife felt my face and said that it was the softest closest shave I have ever had. Pretty high praise from someone whom is no longer excited about my close shaves, and tired of smelling my soaps. I was amazed at the ease at which this razor shaved. This may actually unseat my iKon Slant as my top shaver!!

No shave this morning. I'm letting the beard grow-in for a few days to see how a straight handles the longer whiskers. Just a hot shower and strong black coffee.
