- Razor Gillette Ball Handle Tech (no date)
- Blade Vintage Waltham Blade CO
- Pre-Shave Hot Shower
- Brush Synthetic B&B Chubby
- Cream Mitchells Wool Fat
- Aftershave Clubman Virgin Island Bay Rum
Its a cold wet Saturday here in Byford WA.
After A refreshing hot Shower I thought what can make this day less gloomy?
So I did a lucky dip into a bag of assorted blades and out came a Waltham carbon steel blade.(pictured)
I load it into The Tech the shave was ok bordering on average as most of you will know The Tech is a mild razor.
And most vintage carbon steel blades don't compare to modern blades.
(In days of old when men were bold........)
1 Pass WTG 1 ATG and a touch up here and there and not to bad.
Even the bay rum didn't sting.
After cleaning up I washed and applied a drop of 3 in1 oil to the blade.
I will see if I can get a few more shaves with some hand stropping.
Any one from outside Australia know what the furry friend is??
