Gillette Tech (60’s maybe)

Alum block
Tallow+Steel Baygere Aftershave

The other day I received a parcel containing this excellent soap and aftershave duo. It is a cross between bay rum and fougere scents, but as I am not familiar with either I can’t confirm, they are, however, fantastic in both scent and performance. They were sent to me to help me with my loss and to celebrate my daughter’s wedding, by the gentleman of note, @CunningMrFox. Thank you my friend, this forum can be a magical place at times!
I used them tonight with a brush and one of the Tech’s gifted to me recently by @Tony'schin (thanks again Tony). It feels slightly heavier than my NOS 70’s and indeed the French one that he also gave me. But they all shave very similarly (unsurprisingly I suppose). Did manage to nick my neck (paddy whack!?) but my fault and alum sorted it.
Face feel and smell are outstanding (and wife is very impressed - not easy to do that!) and I am feeling much better and happier now everything is calmer.

Marvellous indeed Ken - glad you got on with tallow + steel. One of my upper echelons of products and brands. I have a great relationship with Ryan. Top of the shelf fella. I don’t bring out the products too often because I’m scared to use them lol . Once they’re gone they’re gone.

Beautiful to see the wedding photo - looked a lovely and happy day my mate. Good on them both. May happiness be with them for the foreseeable future mate.

Always a treat to see Bella :love:

Keep on keeping on my friend. It never gets easier but we can treasure them going forwards.

Love and respects my mate. J.

I haven’t shaved for a few days & this was so relaxing & refreshing m
The soap was a freebie from @Boycie83 and a great soap at that.
The scent was very similar to Cella
as in Mr Kiplings Bakewell Tart.
Also the fact it’s in a tin makes it ideal for my travels.
All the best boys n girls enjoy your week ahead

Aylsworth Kopperkant +
Gillette 7 o’clock (4x)
Synthetic reknot
Soap TFS

The + version really does shave close and comfortable for bbs even with a used blade. The brush soap combo lathered superbly but not sure I would buy this soap again as it really doesn’t have the sort of distinctive or lasting smell that I like.
Have a great day fellas!

I added a few turns of the grinder with menthol crystal in it to my lather to give me the ultimate menthol hit.Marvellous.

Absolutely wonderful! The General for me is by far the best AC "T" type razor i have tried (and the list is a long, long list).
The "new" Ingram's produced plenty of lather for the shave with the boar knot full to bursting.
2 very easy, smooth passes with a little touch up here and there for a very, very comfortable face feeler.
Enjoy the rest of your day all.
