SOTD 01/03/20

I received a Gibbs #15 Adjustable in trade for a Gillette Tuckaway from a French friend yesterday, and just had to shave with it today. As the owner of a #17 Gibbs and a Rex Ambassador, based on the earlier design, I discovered that the shave was identical to the #17 Gibbs. At setting 6 I received an extremely close BBS on my face. I dialed down to 4 for the noggin and cleared away my stubble effortlessly for a good DFS dome shave. I used my PAA Cube for face and dome lathering, and it provided a decent protective lather, although not quite as creamy or thick as my trusty MWF. I feel clean, cool and refreshed.

RAZOR: Gibbs #15 Adjustable
BLADE: Suneko customized for razor
PREP: Cold water rinse
BRUSH: Viking Silvertip Badger
SOAP: PAA Charcoal-Menthol Preshave
POSTSHAVE: Cold water wash with GlyceGlycerin soap followed by Thayers LavenderWH and finished with Old Spice Fresh Lime

Houbigant Fougère Royale aftershave (vintage)


The blade, which again was very slightly rough yesterday, was smooth once more this morning.  The lather quality might be playing a minor role in this, but I think mostly it is related to the particular razor being used.  This blade just seems to be a bit finicky with razors.
