SOTD: Saturday 28 September - Friday 4 October 2024.

Thursday 3 October
Gillette ABC Pocket edition 1910 ish
De Vergulde Hand
Omega bristle
Chinese Torpedo carbon blade

Not the best shave of the week not even dfs, but a) I was in a rush so only time for one pass wtg, and b) Never used the blade before so bit of an unknown. The blade exposure looked very minimal and I’ve never had problems with this razor before.
I’ll try a different blade tomorrow and take a bit more time.
Enjoy your evening fellas!

Razor - Gillette Tech/Razorock
Blade - Tiger Platinum
Brush - Razorock 400 Noir
Lather - Trumper’s spanish Leather Cream

A mild and very pleasing three-pass shave. The Razorock razor handle doesn’t add to the performance over the Gillette original, but it was cheap and does look rather cool… and it may even enable some daft bugger to go out and buy one… you know you want one… go on, go on, go on…

I gave the Razorock brush another go. It works perfectly fine with creams but it is rather a handful (for me… and I’m only 6’2”… small by today’s standards). I’ll give it a try with soap again soon.
