What’s new to you?

Received this Gillette New (Long or Short comb, I can't tell) to go with the 3d printed mount Kyle made for me (received yesterday).

Used the razor with my vintage Brush (right side) and the old spice mug.

Great vintage shave! [emoji106]

Long comb,... for quick ID look for the Gillette diamond, it's off to the side on the long comb, it's in the center next to the handle on the short comb.

Awesome, that's a great little tip!

I was leaning towards long comb, because I had a Short comb some time ago and we didn't get along so great. I wasn't 100% sure my technique didn't improve, but this was quite a lot nicer feeling (from my limited memory).

Thanks @TobyC and @Spider , much appreciated.
 
Just got back from an fantastic Marketplace exchange. The lady was super nice and wanted to meet up at the police station for a cash sale. Bought for her husband, but he was too scared to put it to use. His loss is my gain, she dropped the price from $150 down to $40?????

Anyone else ever used BEVEL??

-Bevel Priming oil
-Bevel Restoring balm
-Bevel Shaving brush
-G.B.S. Razor strop(cheapo)
-Parker Leather razor sleeve

Nice. I had looked at one of the Bevel brushes at target but they were out when they were on sale.. Please let me know what you think of it because if they ever put them on sale again I I really want one of them if they are decent...
