Today is 03–15-2025 is Day 74 of 2025.
Razor: Vintage Gillette - Super Speed Tech, No Notch 1947 (My Birth Year)
Blade: KAI - Stainless Blade - DAY # 4 USEAGE.
Bowl: N/A
Soap/Cream: Cremo - Refreshing Mint, smells is great.
Brush/Instrument: Fingers/Omega Boar
Extra Stuff: Witch Hazel
Today used my Vintage Gillette - Super Speed Tech, No Notch 1947 (My Birth Year) was purchased off E-bay from seller who does mostly Vintage Razors, and is stand up honest seller. Shave was three passes, with, across, & against the grain, using a KAI - Stainless Blade. This KIA Blade chops down Beard like Hot Knife Cutting Cold Butter, easy as 1, 2, 3, Blade is Super Sharp almost dangerous too sharp. Today was DAY # FOUR for using this Blade, came out of my Orphan Blade Ziplock. **Do not know what deal switch this KAI Blade but it is tough to load and unload from my Vintage Gillette - Super Speed Tech, No Notch 1947.
Shave today was Dam Fine Shave but did not achieving perfection rating, would be 9.8, Close to BBS. Results were great because I payed a lot of attention to Technique, Head Angle, and Pressure, reaped rewards, of DFS for doing so. I do not chase BBS, but still got Another Great Shave.
Used newly opened fresh Tube of Cremo - Refreshing Mint, This scent is very very nice, it doesn’t knock you over, but scent is present. It leaves a slight tingling sensation like menthol post use. Still working in the Cremo into my beard with my Omega Boar, it seems to helped getting Beard to stand up for closer shave. Working with Brush on Face don’t lather Cremo much, but seem to help raise Beard for Shaving off.
I am a Vintage Gillette Junkie, That is almost all I own, Vintage Gillette’s work well for me, never failing to give a Dam Fine Shave with New Sharp Blade. I can’t imagine much better results from a modern super razor. Sorry but people need to try a Vintage Gillette with an open mind, if they don’t own one. Think of about snagging a Tech, Super Speed, or Slim adjustable as a First Vintage Gillette. IMHO a Vintage Gillette’s are a lot of bang for the buck.
