Apparently the current products from Superior 70 (Puerto Rico) are only two kinds, all of which are NOT the same as mine. I bought mine several years ago when a very powerful hurricane hit PR and the old original (non-Bay Rum) stuff wasn't available from the factory, but I did locate about 18 bottle...

Monday morning with 3 days' beard growth calls for a
beautiful old Rodgers and Sons straight razor with a very sharp edge.
The soap - Tabac
The brush - ShaveMac Finest

Early this month I finished off my 12th consecutive full bottle of my all-time favorite aftershave. The new bottle's currently in use and there are 12 new unopened bottles in the cabinet, waiting patiently to take their turn when the time comes. When I break out a new bottle, I always add 1/3 of a t...

Hi cogopa. Welcome to SMF. Hopefully someone might reply with something of interest to you on the subject. However, it's been 7 years since this topic had any discussion.

Wednesday - Truefitt & Hill 1850 shaving cream. Smells good and makes a fine and plentiful lather. The General/Kai blade razor always delivers a smooth shave. Friday's shave will be identical, except the brush. Today was the old MadeRite with a Finest update knot, and Friday's brush will be a si...

Monday morning's Razor of the Day is a straight razor - Puma INOX stainless.
It's going to join forces with the hard-to-get Caswell-Massey ROS brush-optional shaving cream.

Friday morning's gear was Caswell-Massey ROS shaving cream, yep, another brush-optional. The brush was SynBad synthetic. I used the wet brush to spread the shaving cream. It was a good shave all around.

Tabac took down the 3 day crop of whiskers, the new Kai blade did the cutting, and the Thater did the honors.

This morning I had the pleasure of using my Caswell Massey Almond brush-optional shaving cream. After my shower I scooped out a generous quantity of cream and applied it to my face. Then I picked up one of the Badger brushes and I did not expect a lather. I wet the tips of the brush in water and pro...

Looking back 13 years ago --- I was wrong! Things have gone awry in happy CM land, unfortunately. Smells great, that's a positive. Does make a lather that is slick and protective, and lends itself to a very smooth shave, another positive, and then there's this "other thing" -- it seems tha...

Yes, a little rusty. Yesterday I used the Hart Steel razor and had another very enjoyable experience. I've learned something different about using straights, as far as my own face is concerned. The passage of time has made the contour of my chin permanently too rough and rugged for the open blades. ...

FaraHilde, nice first post. Welcome to SMF.

Oh, heck, Sam! Why not? What else ya got? Why wait 'til December?
I confess, I didn't look up what that jamon stuff is, or even click on your link, but by golly, bring it on!!!

Monday's shave was provided by the Hart straight razor and the General, and the cream was Caswell Massey Almond brushless.
I think I should make it a habit to use one of the open razors on Monday every week for a while.

Jim, when or should I say IF I make it to 80, and still shaving, I plan to go back to my old electric Norelco rotary head razor (if it still works then).

Murray, I bought all four of them separately. SilkSmoke and SynBad knots came from APShave Co. The handle on the SilkSmoke came from Semogue with a different painted finish that it has now. I did something unusual and ended up ruining the painted decor on the Semogue handle. I salvaged it by removin...

Today's razor is a Torrey. I confess I haven't used any straight razors in quite a while. I dressed the edge on the jasper stone, followed up with a good strop. Because of the circumstances, I only used the open razor on 2/3 of my whiskers, because I wanted to avoid any damage to my face, I didn't s...

After six (6) years, this morning I decided to retire the SilkSmoke brush in my current brush rotation and replace it with the SynBad Mesquite synthetic. Note: This is a post I made here in October of 2018 but I can't locate it anywhere now. --- "Here is a photo of the SynBad synthetic next to ...

This morning's razor of choice is one of my favorite straight razors - Torrey to be clear.
I'm looking forward to what has become a rare occasion for me. Wish me luck!

The last time I posted in this thread was the last time I shaved with any of my Straight razors. I have abandoned them unintentionally. As we all know, time travels fast as we get older. Nonetheless, I have not fully forgotten my beautiful straight razors in the drawer in the cabinet, and therefore ...
