Not a lot to go at after yesterdays shave, therefore, 1x ATG pass and some touch up mainly on the whirlpools for a BBS comfortable finish.
Another great shave!

The same cracking lather as yesterday. I wanted to see how the Treet blade, on its fourth shave, performed in the .68-P Game Changer (quite possibly my least aggressive razor). A smooth performance and a very nice finish was the result. I’m quite impressed with the Treet Platinum.

Soap Saponificio Varesino Opuntia
Brush Zenith 28mm Boar
Razor Wade & Butcher 7/8 "Steamship" Wedge New & 1st Use
Aftershaves Stirling Witchhazel MitA + RazoRock Mudder Focker Splash
Fantastic soap and brush combination! Wonderful scent with a rich creamy and slick lather! The brush is just a joy to use.
New Razor just arrived! I just love old & big ax-type razors...this is with a super soft smooth and gentle edge. Another excellent razor from the genuinely good Ebay seller. 2nd W&B from him. Workday rush 2.5passes for an acceptable ccs/dfs result without any issues at all...wow! What a super nice edge. The aftershaves were very good too...

Decent shave this morning with the next in line, Only The Brave. Same good performance but the scent wasn't as potent, decent enough scent in itself but prefer black tie.

Holy crap though, forgot that P20 sunscreen let's you know it's there on a freshly shaved face!

Hope everyone is having a grand day, getting ourselves sorted to head out to the beach with the family, see whether I can convince the little one to take a swim (doubtful).

Cheers

That's not a Gillette New, it may be a thick head '20's OLD with a thick washer between the bottom plate and a non-Gillette handle, but It would have to be a replate because it looks too good to be original nickel.

Yep you're on the ball there, me mistaking it from the description, good thing I got it purely because I liked the look of it. But you are spot on that it is a replate and the handle is a modern replica.
