GEM MICROMATIC GEM SS BLADE Vintage VDH Boar Brush Williams soap Dickinson’s Witch Hazel
Great shave, smooth and refreshing. In the past, I only used the open comb on Sundays. Lately however I have been missing many Sunday shaves so I’ve decided to use the OC on Williams Wednesdays along with a nostalgic blade, brush, and AS from my past. The OC is not for everyone. Some folks swear by it and others swear at it. I seem to get along good with it. However, I am down to one so I think I’ll spend some time online looking for another. I have to say that I have been using Williams a lot more last summer and this summer than I have in the past. Normally I like to use lighter and cooler soaps and creams during the heat. They just seem more refreshing than a lot of heavier soaps and creams. However, the prices on the brands and scents I like have sky rocketed and since Williams is refreshing for me to use and rinses clean, I’ll probably stick to it on the hotter days like today (109).

Thursday
Cry Baby Shave
Schick Ever Sharp “G” razor
Chick Blade
VDH Boar brush
Cella soap
Dickinson’s Witch Hazel
I used this set-up a few days ago and complained that the shave was a bit rough due to the Chick blade. So I tried it again under the same circumstances to see if the blade would shave smoother after the first shave. The razor, brush, Cella, and WH were all up to par. As far as the blade goes it did shave a bit smoother, but still a little rough. It was a better shave than the Persona/Pella injector blades, but still not good enough for me to continue using them. I guess I’m spoiled. Up to 10 years ago I could still find plenty of the old vintage blades in drugstores out here. I’m sure Schick and Persona had stopped making them but there must have been plenty of NOS around in warehouses because they were still sold in stores in the retirement communities. When those ran out I would buy them online for a reasonable price. Now I can’t seem to find them anywhere unless I want to saw off an arm or a leg and send it to the seller. Come on sellers, they’re made of steel, not gold!! How come I can’t have my Persona 74s?? WAAAAH. Where are my Gillette Platinum Plus??? WAAAAAH. And how about my Schick Kronas and Plus Platniums??? Why can’t I have those??? WAAAAAH, WAAAAAAAH

Friday Mid-Morning
GEM Junior
GEM SS Blade
VDH Boar Brush
Marlborough Shave Soap
Dickinson’s Witch Hazel
Dug out the old Junior for today’s run. It shaves as great as I remember. It produced a very mild and acceptably close shave. I believe this is a later version as it does not have the big ears on the ends of the comb. The blade was fine but I would rather be using carbon. The soap is tallow based hence plenty of protection and cushion, and I love the scent. It’s more of a winter type soap but the scent makes it worth using in summer. It smells tobaccoish to me. It lathers great with any brush I use.
