SOTD SATURDAY MORNING, AUGUST 8, 2020

Another excellent shave this morning! VBBS above the jawline and DFS+ below. I remain in awe of the superb shaves delivered by my Gillette New LC, a razor that was neglected far too long! Remembering how happy I was with the Fine SS New LC homage razor, I will say that the original remains the one to beat! I hadn’t shaved with this razor for months, and had forgotten how efficient it was.  

One pass cleaned up around the AA and below the goat! The Rooney brush was a delight to use. It is a face latherer’s dream brush! It has an indescribable almost paradoxical soft firmness that delivered the perfect wet straight shaver’s lather to my mug. And when required, generated a thick protective lather to the noggin. The head shave felt really good, and this superb, vintage shaving tool opened the door to my favorite feeling of clean, cool, velveteen bliss!

RAZOR: Lord 6/8 (Mug), Gillette New LC (Dome)
BLADE: Polsilver
PREP: Cold water rinse followed by a scrub with Rabid Banana Preshave Cube
BRUSH: Rooney Badger
SOAP: Mitchell’s Wool Fat w/ 6 drops of M-Bomb
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with brush squeezings followed by Humphreys Lilac WH and Osage Rub. Finished with Cremo Cooling Post Shave Balm.

IF...... I'm not mistaken, does this Viking razor above shave exactly like a Gillette Tech? and also nowhere near as a Feather AS-D2?

I never shaved with a Gillette Tech or the Feather AS-D2.  I can tell you that this Vikings Blade Godfather Stonehenge is a very mild razor, very heavy as well.  I like it with a Feather blade best.

I love this.  Perfection!

Thank you, for your kind words.

Have a great day!

Gillette Old Type Slant #001 / BIC /MWF. Didn't expect that a little slant n torque would make the Old Type such a better shaver. Indeed it does.
