Super Adjustable 84 / Nacet (2) / Cella / Clubman -- I dug through my bin of unused to find stuff I haven't used lately and grabbed the short handled Super Adjustable 84. I'm hit and miss with Black Beauties and the slimmer head Super Speeds/slims, but I do appreciate the weight (surprised me) and the shorter handle and the shave was DFS+.

Soap/Cream: Cremo - Refreshing Mint, smells is great.
Brush/Instrument: Fingers/Omega Boar

Back to Vintage again today, so I choose my Vintage Gillette - Flair Tip - Twist to Open - Circa - 1957 (C-4). Shave was three passes, with, across, & against the grain, using a NEW Super Stainless Steel - Polymer Coated Blade, (maker unknown) as it was in Orphan Baggie of loose Blades. Shave had some Blade feel but only feedback Blade was working well, Shave went as easy as 1, 2, 3, Blade is Super Sharp, and, Efficient. Today was DAY # THREE for using this Blade, came out of my Orphan Blade Ziplock. Blade sent message, aka feedback it was working good today. Still work on using last of my supply of Cremo - Refreshing Mint.
Shave today was Dam Fine Shave but did not achieving perfection rating, would be 9.9 +. Results were Darn Good because I payed a lot of attention to Technique, reaping rewards, of DFS for doing so. I do not & never will chase BBS, do but still got great Shave. Happy back using one of my Vintage Gillette Razors. They are lot of Bang for Buck Razors.
