A rarity for me. I always shave every day but I was so engrossed in restoring this camera that I forgot about it.
So my GEM Open Comb had quite a challenge.  It fully lived up to my expectations.

Mickey and Freddie, two completely different SOTD photos but each just amazing.  Mickey, that camera is absolutely beautiful.  How old is it?  I must show this to my next door neighbor who works with very very old cameras.

Freddie, Mazel Tov! (Congratulations!) on both your anniversary and your two beautiful children.  May your Father's Day prove to be happy and healthy.

Thank you for your kind words, Freddy. It's been a wonderful day!

What better razor to use than my dad's Super Speed for my shave today. My first use of Chatillon Lux and I have to say I was very pleased with it. I love the leather note I get from it, that deep dark rugged leather scent reminiscent of the times talked about in the description. Face feel was great, left my skin feeling smooth and moisturized. The scent is one that I will enjoy very much and the wife approved as well which is always a plus. Happy Father's day to all!!!!

Razor: Gillette President w/case and blade pack. (Y1)(1953)
Blade: Gillette GSB (4)
Brush: DFS LE w/Envy White
Soap: TSD Iced Irish Spring Type
A/S: TSD Iced Irish Spring Type

Gillette is one of my favorite Vintage Gillette razor. The DFS LE whipped up an excellent cooling lather, and the after shave provided a cool finish.
This an excellent brush. Hope everyone is having a great Father's Day.
