Pre-Shave Lather / Hot Towel & Rinse / 15 Laps TM linen / 50 laps TM Strop
Post-Shave: Lucky Tiger Aftershave Salve / Cold Towel & Rinse
30-laps Trans-Ark Hone / 25 Higgins English Linen / 50 Westholme Fast Draw
Vorpal 13/16
Rubberset 400-4 / TGN Finest
Williams Mug Shave Soap
Williams Aqua Velva Sport Aftershave
Pierre Cardin EdP
Apocalypse averted... Back to straight shaving "Whew that was close"
Saw a few gents, using some Williams, so thought I would dust off a puck and give it a go. Overnight soak and a nice rinse with the tepid bloom water before lathering. I cannot for the life of me understand how folks have trouble with it, or don't like it. It is simple, cheap, smells good, creates a very nice lather, and arguably one of the absolute slickest soaps out there. All old school today with the Rubberset and the increasingly hard to find Aqua Velva sport dressed in a nice vintage bottle.
Everything came together for this nice 3-pass shave this morning. The Vorpal is getting a bit long in the tooth, so I will need to take it back to the coti soon, however it still gave a nice DSBBS- shave today, with some extensive cleanup. A bit of the Tiger, followed by a liberal splash of the AVS, and a few dotties of the PC ( boy these vintage EdP's are strong ) , and off to cut hair all day. Life is good
Set-up:
Hope you all had a wonderful Tuesday!

Great shave Dave. Good old PC. I used to have some. My Uncle LOVED the stuff and basically bathed in it ALL the time. Good memories.
Great shave Dave...love the all vintage!
In other words... too much work!

You youngins don’t realize that back in the days of yore we had to shave uphill both ways!
LOL!!!! The guy that looks like he just hit puberty 6 months ago busting the chops of the guy who turned father time back 20 years by shaving off his goatee. Priceless!
I really don't want to be 9 years old again.

A little bit of Italy today, and a bit of "Italian Inspired". Brought out "The Pope" razor today. Also Mr. Fine's homage to the Original AdP. It is so nice, not quite as good as the original IC but very very close, and oh so refreshing.
3 passes today and DSBBS, a nice splash of the IC and followed by 2 Vasilli's of the Colonia Intensa and good to go
Hope you all had a tremendous Wednesday
