That new head looks lovely. I think I may to have to get myself a Short comb new head, and get it plated.
 
Yes, It is Rhodium plated here in Barcelona. It is a project with UFO Goliath, a long comb NEW, and this short comb NEW.
I have another project with Gillette common bar plus long comb and short comb NEW to go rose gold plated.

Today's shave

Gillette Fatboy (set on No4)
Feather Blade
Kent BK4 Brush
NSS Arabian Nights

Result BSS WTG

I think Mrs J has finally started to understand our love of old School razors :icon_razz:
 
After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:

vintage rebranded Simpsons best
UK made #58/Personna74 (NOS)
RL Safari SS (vintage)
RL Safari AS Relief Balm (vintage)
RL Safari' EdT (old juice)

This blade may be just a tad too sharp for the razor. Went a little slower than usual so as to not do anything dumb through lack of a forgiving nature. I could feel this blade waiting for me to screw up, which wasn't the case today. Not even a red mark in my face.

Man, this old soap really is a good one. Still lots of fragrance left and a classic tallow lather. Plenty of slip and cushion.

BBS results,

Martin

My last shave with the Taylor today, always gives a nice shave but it's time to go to a good home;)
