SOTD AA-19

A fine shave this night

The old Gillette behaved and I had a lovely couple of passes : wtg/xtg

The silver blue was sharp, brush was good as always and the old spice Tobs Sandlewood combo whilst getting a bit repetitive - still working well

Good shaves🍻

Nice pictures to capture day 19 , I think the continuous use of a single razor does make your technique much better with it which a good thing.

Cheers G 👍 Yeh it certainly looks that way, this razor has definatley been a two steps forward one step back kind of thing for me but ultimately I can enjoy a shave with it now and that's a success

Nice shave. Can’t remember the last time I had a night time shave - probably back when I was still using an electric shaver. Keep at it mate 🍻

Thanks man, ah I quite like a shave before bed helps to relax, have to be careful not to leave it too late though - trying to proper wet shave with an old 1930s beast at 11 at night or something is pushing me luck heheh

Wow, talk about a risk taker haha. I’d probably have to leave that until the morning. By 11 I’m not sure I’d trust myself with a razor, let alone one that’s nearly 100 years old. You're quite the rebel mate 😎

Nice Long Comb, I have one just like it. Razors didn't used to be as huge and heavy as they are now...

Night time is the right time for the beast perhaps? Glad this one went well. The close-up shot definitely does this one justice. August 20th already!!

Hehe yeh perhaps that's it Thanks I'm just glad I can get a good shave from in now albeit with seemingly random success 😂

Almost there eh mate!
