when boots were boots

Obvious your not old enough, them are mainly plastic shite of 70/80's. Look up leather boots pre 50's now they are boots! To protect your toes and metatarsal from fractures off the laced leather ball.

I had no idea that football boots in the 70/80s were plastic! Never played though so how would I?

I was expecting a good lather, but I wasn't expecting THIS! The shave cream is incredible. The lather just kept going and going. Captain's Choice has really got something here.

Be smooth and shave it up, everyone!

Interestingly enough, the dictionary describes it as a way of occupying the lower class! Strangely it's also where the word riot comes from. How quaint.

Pre Shave: Hot Shower, Bulldog Face Wash and Proraso Red
Razor: Fatip Piccolo
Blade: ASCO orange (#2)
Brush: Kent BLK4
Soap: Palmolive Stick grated
Post: Alum Block, Cold water and Thayers unscented

A much better shave today, yesterday I used the ASCO blade in an iKon 101 and it was disappointing, today's shave using the ASCO blade in the Fatip was actually really good.

Tuesday's shave

Pre-shave - Warm shower, Wright's Coal Tar Soap.
Razor - Ikon Shavecraft 101.
Blade - Gillette Silver Blue (day 2).
Soap - Body Shop Maca Root Shaving Cream.
Brush - Simpsons Chubby 2 - Best Badger
Post shave - Myrsol Formula "K" After Shave.

Was in a hurry this morning, no time for pre-shave oil - lather, shave and go.

The Maca Root shave cream next to the skin felt great, excellent lubrication. This made me wonder if you can get beter shaves with the benefits of the soap, without a pre-shave oil barrier on the skin?

Quick 2 passes, no issues, close and comfortable shave.

Evening Gents. I had a fairly acceptable shave this evening. Maybe I've been spoiled by the high-end creams I've been using lately but the Barbon just didn't seem to offer the same protection and glide. This was the fifth shave on the Vector cart and it was noticeably rougher and more tuggy so in future it will be four shaves and done. Not a big deal when I can pick them up on eBay for around 50 cents each. Finished up with the neck feeling a little hot but that was quickly calmed down by a generous dollop of the wonderful Myrsol Emulsion. Time for a quick sandwich and then off to work for me!

Soap: Route 66 Bourbon Jungle
Aftershave: Route 66 Bourbon Jungle Balm

Like the first shot in an ambush Bourbon Jungle has your attention immediately, the moment you open the container. It's rich woody notes of Italian Bergamot, Apple Wood and Tonka Bean rounded by hints of Patchouli, Cedarwood, and Oakmoss, with exotic notes of Cardamom, Vanilla Bourbon and Allspice.
Handcrafted traditional shaving soap formulated for long lasting, slick lather, protective cushion and glide with a soothing post shave conditioning. It just can't be beat. You can order yours today at, http://www.retroshaveshop.com/product/bourbon-jungle/.

Here is a picture of the original instruction. I don't believe I've posted them for a while.
