Hahaha Gillette NEW for the win! Yours is beautiful! How do you get that shine? Great shave today out of the Latha. Scent is going to turn some away but the soap is top notch!

For me no shaving today

Shaved December 21, 2014




PRE: Oil Floyd and warm water


RAZOR: Double Philharmonic Temple 14


BRUSH: Valkyrie 2613 in Silvertip


SOAP: Valobra Fougere


FOAM: Mixed


POST: Floyd Blue Italian




For other shaving razor this time releasing an old double Philharmonic Temple courtesy of my brother barber after passing only leather has shown me that these very old irons have nothing to envy knives today, hurrying in three front passes without irritation.

I rehoned both of the razors last night so had to check the edges. The W&L shaved the right side of my face and the Dovo, the left. The W&L gave the better shave but both edegs are fine.

On another note uploading these from my phone has become much more of a pain now that Tapatalk has updated and is absolutely terrible now.
