5 will get you ten. 59 gets you 55. born 55 years ago today. shaved with a 1959 birth year Fatboy.
Won an ebay auction earlier today for a vintage Simpsons for Gimbel's 57. Wish it was a 59, but a 57 will suffice.
25 was good. 35 was better. 45 was better still. hoping for mo' betterer at the two five spots.
Other tools, accoutrements & emolients utilized today include: Jabonman Tierra Húmeda, Polisilver Super Iridium, Simpsons for Hoffritz 103 (which we know better as a butterscotched vintage Chubby), Fine Clean Vetiver. Never made it to the Capt'n Fawcett's to tame the ol' unruly whiskers (see below for just how unruly they can get).
That Chubby made my Tierra Húmeda behave better than it ever has before. My other Jabonman's have never been a problem, but I always got sudsy, runny, loose lather with Wet Earth before today. Suddenly, the Chubby made available the consistency I have been longing for until now. I'd be lying if I said my face was as smooth as my rump was 55 years ago, but it's as close as could be.
At 40, the old adage says, you get the face you deserve. At 55, methinks you learn to live with the one you got.

Menthol Monday
Today I used a Wardonia Razor. The Gillette blade I used had to be modified to fit the three hole cap and base. Installing the blade took a bit of work to get the blade to sit evenly when tightening the razor. The cutting angle is a lot different than any of my other double edge razors. The angle is closer to 90 degrees. The shave was a really close, and I did achieve BBS with my normal 4 pass shave. Going across the grain on my neck was a bit of a challenge, with the cutting angle that needed to be used. All in all I was very pleased with the performance of the razor. I am not sure if I will keep this razor in rotation due to the extra work needed to modify blades to fit the razor.
