hasta mañana 

Ah, "hasta mañana" - the story of my life. 

What a cool case and supplies' containers! I'd love to see a similar kit that you can customize for your own gear. I've never been a fan of the Dopp bag as my stuff is all loose inside.

Excellent kit Dave!

Razor: Gillette Aluminum Tech (Made in England)
Blade: Gillette Spoiler (1)
Brush: Burma Shave Boar circa 1979
Soap: Tonsorial Williams
AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
AS 2: Vintage Aqua Velva
Fragrance: Acqua Di Gio Profumo

Today was another Gillette shave. As I said this was a gift from my Stepfather and had everything except the razor which he lost long ago. The best I could figure out researching was a Made in England Aluminum Tech would have been the standard fare they put into these sets that sold. So I decided to go all vintage except the Fragrance. Tonsorial Williams whipped up with my non-branded Burma Shave Boar brush bought by me back in 1979. Great lather and stupendous shave was had while giving the extra attention needed to get all the stray whiskers that try to hide from this mild shaver. Topped off with my Humphrey's, Vintage Aqua Velva and the Profumo. This was an enjoyable and refreshing shave to start the week and work. Have a Stellar day Everyone !!

Razor: EndGem Dot 1 3D Print Razor
Blade: Gem (1)
Brush: "Bob Ross" Teton Zen Series
Soap: Lakewood SOCP (1508.5 Project)
AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
AS 2: Terre D' Hermes Splash
Fragrance: Terre D' Hermes

This 3d print razor came in last night from slantman (Thank You) It's the Dot 1 of the 3. There are 3 different aggression level files available. I found it a nice shave result but would require a lot of chasing to get where I like to be. Tht said it was a comfortable shave although the head/handle angle felt awkward at least to me. This is comparing it to my TNNSR razor which feels more natural. I would definitely want the Dot 2 or perhaps the Dot 3 but without trying I wouldn't know. I appreciate the chance to try this and look forward to others thoughts on it. Thank you Jerry for doing the pass around and Roger SlimGem for contributing to the community by producing and making these available. The 1508.5 continues and we are making progress. Back to my Gillette 50+ Year Old Razors Rotation tomorrow. Have a great day Everyone !!

I like the clear/frosted plastic look! That’s quite fun!

Go get em Dave!
