Saturday's Shave of the Day
Cold Water Rinse
WSP Formula T Pumpkin Pie Shave Soap
Jayaruh #1 Badger
Gillette Super Speed '47
Gillette Silver Blue SS Blade
Aqua Velva After Shave
The WSP Formula T Pumpkin Pie Shave Soap lathered well with Jayaruh #1 Badger Brush. Two passes and touch ups with the Gillette Super Speed '47 DE Razor and a Gillette Silver Blue SS Blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Aqua Velva After Shave. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Last day of my self imposed OcTabbaccer 
. But I have several pux left to vibrieren my tobacco flavor into November.
Tallow + Lanolin is a appreciated combination for me. This was another oldie but goldy lather. Scent strength was still solid.

After seeing @TestDepth’s Herder I thought it was time to break out mine. It hasn’t gotten any use in some time. Wonderful shave 
Hot water preparation
Castle Forbes Lavender Shave Cream
Romera Wenge Chubby Manchurian Badger
Friedr Herder 77 11/16
Cold water rinse
Castle Forbes Lavender After Shave Balm (one of the best lavender scents out there IMHO)
Happy shaving - Karl

October 31, 2026 • Shaved everyday in 2026
Razor: Vintage Gillette - 1957 Flair Tip - DE Safety Razor - Made in U.S.A.
Blade: REX Supply - AKA Razor Emporium - Platinum - Double Edge Blades.
Bowl: Lathered in AliExpress - Chinese Made - Navy Ceramic Lathering Bowl.
Soap/Cream: Razor Emporium - 2024 Meetup - Limited Edition - Shave Soap Sample - Made in U.S.A.
Brush/Instrument: Whipped Dog - Silver Tip Badger Brush - 24 mm Knot, & 56 mm Loft.
Extra Stuff: Witch Hazel.
Shave Rating: DAM FINE SHAVE, VERY Close to BBS as you could want.
Comments: Using a Gillette Vintage Flair Tip Razor, with a REX Supply - AKA Razor Emporium - Platinum - Double Edge Blades.. I really like this Razor & Blade combo, efficient, sharp, blade is super sharp. Almost prefect, but noting is perfect. If you do not own a Vintage Gillette, don’t pass opportunity to buy a Vintage Gillette’s DE Razors, IMHO they are wonderful. Shaving tools
Today again was normal routine, Three Pass Shave, better than NORMAL DFS results, close as could be to a BBS but not BBS. IMHO the REX Platinum is close to those Japanese Blades costing more. This Blade IMHO got High Points for Sharpness, Fair Price, and Longevity, producing many GREAT SHAVES. TECHNIQUE, SHARP BLADE, AND PERFECT LATHER IS KEY TO GOOD SHAVES.
My Soap was Razor Emporium - 2025 Meetup - Limited Edition - Soap Sample, (Scent Profile, Amber, Musk, Patchouli, Leather, Raspberry - Vanilla), smells so great. I got at Arizona Wet Shave Meetup February 2024, at Razor Emporium Shop in Phoenix, Arizona. Like this Soap because you use so little, it is pretty easy to Lather, and it leaves my Face in wonderful condition post Shave. This Soaps Base IMHO is close to PAA’s CK-6, like the 2023, 2025, & 2026 Meetup Edition Soap.
Last let me say I use a Baskin Robbins - 31 Flavors, FREE TASTE Spoon, for my Soap Scoop. Use like a Level Spoon of this Soap scooped into my Shave Bowl, Damp Brush, and about a Full Teaspoon H2O applied by atomizer. THICK CREAMY LATHER is end results. Product is super easy to work with even a Caveman could do it. This Soap does the three things well, Soaps need to do, Wet & Soften Beard, Provide Slick Shave Surface, and last leave Skin nice Post Shave. This Soap Sample hit a home-run for me, it preformed wonderful, if I allow time for Soap veto sit on my Face to do it’s Magic, Beard Softening, before Shaving Off. Not sure this particular Soap will ever became a regular offer from Razor Emporium. Time will tell.
Still using New AliExpress - Chinese Made - Navy Ceramic Lathering Bowl works some much better then the Plastic AliExpress Lathering Bowl with Flower Pattern, this New Lather Bowl was under $7.00, snd I would call it a Best Buy. It sort of poor mans copy of a Captain’s Choice - Ceramic Lather Bowl.
This Vintage Razor, Blade, Soap combo works better than great, for a 69 Year Old Vintage. Correct me if you disagree BUT IMHO IT ALL ABOUT Great Moist Slick Lather that leave Face nice after Shave, and Technique, Technique, Technique, is way more important than SHAVING TOOLS. Never ever will chase BBS, Skin problems, why do I need too? DFS is good enough for me, this Non Tallow Based Soap provided some extra slick to my shave, over all results were DFS.+++. Honestly this Vintage Gillette Flair Tip DE Razor, is one of my Favorite Razors.

Hi Friends,
Here my Shave of the Day (01.11.2026)
Razor: Timeless Slant // Blade: Gillette yellow // Soap: MacDuffs Kananaskis Explorer // Brush: Plisson // Aftershave: MacDuffs Kananaskis Explorer
What a fine shave this was. 2,5 passes which ended in a BBS finish. Smooth, gentle and efficient. The scent is absolutely top notch. As well as the lather. Wonderful cushion and glide.
The Aftershave smells quite a bit different but it catches the soap scent very well. Skincare is really good.
10 out of 10
Have a great time, enjoy your shaves and stay safe and healthy.
Greetings
Thorsten
