-- Tuesday, May 13--

Prep: hot water wash with bath soap
Razor: 1922 Gillette Big Fellow with New Improved head
Blade: Ladas (2)
Brush: Vintage Stanley Home Products restored with Omega boar
Soap: Cella
Scuttle: Georgetown Pottery G5 in Hamada glaze (used as brush scuttle)
Post: Thai Crystal deodorant alum stick and Thayers's witch hazel

Image

Result: BBS in 3+ passes. Wonderful shave. I am liking less sharp Ladas blades. Less irritation and just as good results as with sharper blades like Personna Super, etc.
