This was one fine, satisfying shave. It was my first use of the Executive Adjustable, a vintage brush, and the Old Spice mug. I can't remember the last time I used Aqua Velva; it must have been at least 30 years ago! I just picked up the brush, which was listed as unused (yeah, right!). A soaking, cleaning with antibacterial soap, and a shampoo lathering soften it a bit but it was the scritchiest brush I've every used. I will say it has a hell of a lot of backbone. It took a bit to get use to the narrow confines of the mug and the stiffness of the boar but I surprised myself with the amount of yogurty lather it produced. While this brush would be fine for a face latherer, it painted well and the Old Spice had enough slickness so I wasn't reapplying lather. The blade paired well with the Executive Fatboy and gave a smooth, nick-and-weeper-free BBS, even though the alum bar registered a bit on my lower neck. Surprising enough I liked the finishing Aqua Velva; I think I'll keep it.

While its hard to remember back about 58 years, I do recall that when I learned to shave from my father it was foam out of a can (Old Spice, Barbasol, Colgate, or something else), no brush, a butterfly safety razor or injector, and various fiery after shaves. Oh how times change. I would love to find a razor that my father used. I would also like to discover, hidden in some box, an early razor of my own. But until I do I'll just use the numerous vintages that I have. And every once in a while I'll get a glimmer of a time nearly 60 years ago....
