Haven't got anything vintage to share, so I'll stick with my regular gear, sorry lads!

Pre-shave: Hot Shower
Brush: Yaqi Barberpole Tuxedo 30mm
Soap: Phoenix & Beau Spitfire
Razor: Cheap and nasty Wahl DE Shavette
Blade: Astra Green (3)
Post-shave: Alum Block, Nivea Aftershave Balm and some of the Missus' face stuff.
Music Cold Chisel - When the War is Over // Dire Straits - Brothers in Arms.


Much better shave than yesterday even after receiving some **** news from the guys I deployed with, that's for sure. Got pretty close to a DFS with just the shavette and minimal touch ups from the Rockwell. Hopefully my technique can improve even more so when my Feather SS folder arrives I can make a good go of it.

• Vintage Feather Portable Razor
• Super-Max Diamond edge SP
• Arko stuffed in Williams bicentennial pewter mug
• Vintage VDH brush
• Lilac Vegetal Aftershave

Keeping the theme of vintage SOTD, I looked for something "vintage" and unusual in my razor chest and picked up the Feather Portable for a 15th Shave on the Super-Max Diamond Edge blade for OBIF'22 challenge.

I bought a few of these razors in 2010 for around 11 bucks a piece off Pauldog from over at SMF, who had the last known remaining stocks of this razor at sane prices before Feather discontinued this nice razor.

I looked up on ebay today. A NIB Portable razor sells for $199 on the auction site with shipping extra from Japan !

A wonderful light nimble razor, more aggresive than the Gilette Tech, cuts effectively riding guard tending to neutral angle for a smooth, efficient shave!

Greetings,

Early morning shave,

It's been a while since i last had a 'Full On' menthol themed shave, which is an invigorating wake up call for my face sensors!

The Ingram menthol cream i haven't used for a while either and forgot how little is required to produce a good amount of protective slick lather with a good punch of menthol within it.

I have mentioned before the Ever Ready vintage SE razors are a pleasure to shave with, once you've adjusted to the required shaving angle training your mind to use good shaving technique these vintage SE razor's will reward you with some sublime shaves.

Another enjoyable 2 pass + pick ups close comfortable shave with no errors to report....Finishing the shave off with a small dollop of Nivea Men Fresh Moisturising Gel.

My face is feeling silky smooth & smelling divine.

Stay safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.

Razorock little Bastone and derby extra is truly flash back !

Indeed. For this I have to credit my parents. Never throw anything away, part of my upbringing.

Last used Derbys years ago. Got a tuck with a razor I recently purchased. Reminds me of just how uncomfortable a blade can be. Not drawing blood, no irritation, so I think I will survive the ordeal.

Have used the Little Bastone with various blades. Not my favorite, but provides an acceptable shave.

Pre	Face wash with Cera Ve Hydrating Facial Cleaner
Soap/Cream	Ethos Lavender
Brush	Rudy Vey with Shavemac D01 two band knot
Bowl	Captain’s Choice Copper
Razor	Karve with C Plate
Blade	Personna Lab
Aftershave	Thayers WH & Ethos Skinfood
Fragrance	Versace The Dreamer
Rating	10/10
Comments	Using a different razor in my rotation: Karve with C Plate loaded with a Personna Lab blade. The Karve was always a razor I liked but the Henson AL 13 has spoiled me! A nice shave just not as smooth as with the Henson. The Ethos is on its 49th use and, once again, made a nice slick lather. A nice BBS shave. The only thing vintage is me! Have a good one, gents.
