SOTD "Transportation Theme Week" August 24-30, 2015

Been out of the loop a while but here's today's shave...

1953 Super Speed
Personna Lab Blue (1)
Mitchell's Wool Fat
Semogue 620
Fine American Blend AS

This was my first time using the 53 SS. I just scored it on the Bay and could not be happier. It is in excellent condition and gave me a great BBS shave. I probably won't use the Personna blade again because it didn't seem to balance out the mildness of the razor enough for my liking so next time I may try it with a Feather or Astra. Extremely pleased though. And it's also my first time with the Fine AS. All I can say is WOW. Great product that does its job and smells amazing.
