A wonderful shave from today's kit, as smooth as smooth can possibly be and smelling great!
Until the next time, stay safe and enjoy your shaves gentleman.

Nice setup mateRazor - Gillette Tech/Razorock
Blade - Blue Sword Platinum
Brush -Simpson M6
Lather - Wickham 1812 Cashmere
First try with the Frankenrazor and an unfamiliar blade. I was bold enough to try a two-pass shave, although I did need a bit of a polish afterwards. Impressive results. The Razorock handle was great… it gave a bit more heft and was eminently grippable (ideal for my arthriticky claws). I did find that it needed a steeper angle, but it was easy to find… the razor is very tactile.
The Wickhams performed well and has a great subtle scent. I could happily buy a full-sized tub of it, but I have other samples I slightly prefer. I wouldn’t want to end up like one of those guys who has 250 years supply of soap… luckily there are none of those on TSR.
Enjoy the bank holiday weekend, everyone.

Wickham 1912 CashmereA comforting Cashmere shave on this wet weekend. Although I love my two badger brushes, which look and feel wonderful, I have to admit that the newer synthetic brushes simply outperform them and are much less expensive. A wonderful lather created with ease and two smooth passes had the job done.

possum or quokka i reckon?! No good for shaving brushes...(Also posted on Paste&Cut and The Shave Den)
24/08/24 : Afternoon
Its a cold wet Saturday here in Byford WA.
- 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
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??
