VELVET SAUSALITO SHAVE

Two Days Whiskers

MUSIC: Loaded by Velvet Underground, 1970. A special edition mostly with early versions and demo tracks.

BOWL: Costa Nova Fine Stoneware (PT)

SOAP: Wool Fat Shaving Soap (Tallow) (GB)

BRUSH: Progress Vulfix V2236S Superbadger 26×57 mm (GB) -

They sure know how to make brushes...

SR: Brumml Sausalito Torsioner (D) -

This is a superb Slant, two pieces, silver plated.
Awesome looks. Very efficient, nimble and butterly smooth.
A rebranded Merkur for the American Market.

Hoffritz, Adams, Brumml Sausalito, Coles, Pomco, Walter Busch, Zorro, Eros, J.A. Henckels, Lunawerk, Weck, A&F Co., D. Corrado, Grafco, Landauer, Cosmo, Chessman. These brands, some german some from the USA, have something in common, they all partially or totally sold REBRANDED Merkurs.
From the 17 brands quoted above, perhaps there's plenty more, Brumml Sausalito was referenced to California. They are pretty rare. The model displayed here - a slant (torsioner) - is most commonly seen by Hoffritz, among the rebranded and by Merkur itself.

This Sausalito possibly is from the 1960s, but it can be either from the 1950s. Impossible to date it with certainty.

BLADE: Merkur Imperial (D) (1) -

Impeccably stored, it's in pretty good shape.

POST-SHAVE:

- 444 Alum-Block (PT)

- Aqua Velva After Shave Lotion (US)

- Avène After-Shave Balm (FR)

THE SHAVE:

Three Passes and quite mild pick-ups.
Easy, easy 10/10 - It almost feels like cheating!
