Nostalgia Times and Shaving
Nostalgia Times and Shaving
It seems the memories of old times are coming back to my mind - so far away now - when I was just a boy trying to become a man through the adult rite of shaving. At those times I was using what I had available at home, and this means my father's shaving products, including his razor - a Gillette Flare Tip Rocket II, which is now one of the very few DE razors in my collection - as well as his soap and after shave. I guess his favorite soap is no longer in production and I cannot exactly remember its name - it certainly was Italian and had a lovely strong almond fragrance - however I still keep his brushes, including a gorgeous Omega 47 and the memory of his favorite aftershave: Aqua Velva Ice Blue. It took me sometimes to discover Floid - it was once the dominant fragrance you could smell when you entered any Italian barber shop about 40 years ago - which then became my favorite aftershave. Yesterday, while I was shopping in a mall, I noticed Aqua Velva and I was surprised to see nothing of the bottle of those times survived today: different shape, different closure and logo. I could not however help buying a bottle and this is the aftershave I used today. It was not so bad, the fragrance seems to be quite the same as well as the performance, bringing back the memory of those old times.

Hey Buddys,
I had a stellar shave moments ago:
Soap: Jabonman Brisa de
Brush: Semogue 620 boar
Razor: Rotbart Mond Extra No.15
Blade: Personna Med Prep
Aftershave: CH Pitralon
Post: Out of Africa 100% unrefined Shea Butter Vanilla
Wonderful!!! The Razor is one of the best razors out there. With, across and against the grain as easy as it can be. Without nicks, cuts or irritations. Toroughly and very very smooth.
I used a boar after a long long time. Didn't regret anything. The lather was thick and creamy with a heavenly scent. It pairs very nice with the CH Pitralon.
A picture will follow later.
Take care and have a great time Friends.
Greetings
