My uncle is a crazy antique shop/thrift store guy.  When he heard I was into wet shaving, he gave tme the pictured Gillette Red Tip.  Today he gave me a scuttle he picked up in a second hand store, also pictured.  I couldn't wait to get home to use it and get rid of this three day growth I had going on.  It was my first time using a scuttle and it added another layer of pleasure to my DE shaving.  Brushing on that warm lather felt awesome, especially after the last stressful 24 hours.  My car broke down on the parkway, it took me an extra day to get home, and cost me $850.  The shave definitely helped me relax a little.

Razor:  1955 Gillette Red Tip

Blade:  Vidyut Super-Max Stainless

Creme: Van Der Hagen Select Shave Soap in scuttle

Method:with, across, against the grain

After:    Maca Root Razor Relief, the Body Shop

Hi Mike:  I love your scuttle.  That will be perfect those cold winter nights.  Enjoy that scuttle in good health, my friend.

Birthday SOTD, August 20, 2014


Razor:  Weber DLC

Blade:  KAI

Soap:  Mike's Natural Soap:  Lemongrass & Eucalyptus

Brush:  The Grooming Company Brush

Dessert:  Ice cube rub, refrigerated WH, refrigerated Osage Rub

Just had an incredible, super shave on this special day.  This is my very 1st time using a synthetic brush.  This brush is great.  It is super, soft yet scrubby.  It has the strong backbone of a Semogue boar brush.  I already know that I am going to love this brush.
