Great shave Dave! Getting a chance to revisit the LC and SC sounds like a winner.

Thanks Tim! So far so good.

Reading these old school shaves is fun. But why the Clubman? Thought this was "old" school, not "bad" school.

If it's anything like an RFB, the smoothness is out of this world, the short comb on the other hand.....let's see what you think tomorrow.

I think the short is a fun razor to use, but that's because danger is fun.

No Shaming here.

No shaming intended. I just thought you used it on a dare, like when I used the Dollar Store razor and blade that @Spider gave me (for three days!).

I was just playing Bruce as I assumed you were. No offense taken Not a favorite but I do like it occasionally and Pierre Cardin blends with it well.

If by "blends with it well" you mean that it obliterates the smell, then I salute you, sir! I was playing, too.

I’ve learned from experience that @Dave in KY ’s mailbox eyes have x-ray, night vision and long range capabilities. Like trying to sneak up on a chameleon. They swivel around independently. It’s freakin crazy.

Friday August 7, 2020
Razor: Gillette New Short Comb
Blade: Wizamet (2)
Brush: Shavemac Ebonite 2 Band Silvertip
Soap: Zingari Man The Blacksmith
Aftershave 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla
Aftershave 2: Nivea Deep Comforting
Fragrance: BVLGARI Man in Black Essence

So up today was the Gillette New Short Comb. To me it was just as smooth as the Long Comb which if the head geometry is the same, I would expect. The only difference was the feel of the shorter comb not being as present while shaving. Honestly at 1 shave on each would be hard pressed to pick one over the other. Both were smooth and efficient and winners for me. Going to take a couple more shaves with these before getting them all off to @Fenster Have a FUN Day Cadre !!!

The NEW SC is, if I recall, a mainstay of the "rigidity wars" over at the other place. It does really clamp down the blade nicely. I prefer it to the LC because it has, to me, somewhat less of an assertive blade feel. I love both versions though, I just feel a little more comfortable with the SC. It feels less likely to bite. They're both great razors! Great shave, my friend!
