Week of the British Long Combs (WC 19th May 2014)

[pjgh]

Not a long comb, but the complimentary Tech to last night's shave ...

Hot Towel
Ingram's Shaving Cream
Kent Infinity Silvertex
Gillette Tech - early, heavy base plate
Gillette Super Thin (Vintage?) [2]
Hot Rinse, Cold Rinse & Alum Wash
Blue Stratos Aftershave

Bowl Lathered
Three Pass - WTG, XTG & GTX

Last night was a long comb shave with what I describe as a Tech. It has the same cap, same handle, same thickness base plate ... just that last night had a comb and tonight has a solid bar.

Great shave!

... another "not a long comb" but the tail end of a run of razors which are very much related. Later Techs are a bit lighter, these last two are simply British long combs without the comb.

Hot Towel
Stirling Bergamot & Lavender Soap
Kent Infinity Silvertex
Gillette Tech (Canada 1932)
Gillette 365 Stainless [1]
Hot Rinse, Cold Rinse & Alum Wash
Brut Original Aftershave

Face Lathered
Three Pass - WTG, XTG & GTX

What a surprise! What a great blade! Very smooth and very efficient!

I get the impression that this might be a really sharp and potentially blood-letting blade, but in a Tech ... what a great shave!

The soap was just lovely, and deepening that simple scent with the aftershave made for a great finish.

What a bonny shave!
