-Vintage-Gillette-Razor-

[primotenore]

Pre-shave; Warm shower, face rinse with MWF bar soap.
Brush; Culmak No 84 Best Badger 1’’ knot, Butterscotch handle.
Soap; Stirling Soaps, ‘’Frankinscent‘’ 5 used pucks mixed together, (apparently taking up too much space x SHMBO) in an original Franklin Toiletry Co 1976 Barbershop Mug.
Razor; Gillette, ‘’The New’’ 1934 59gm OC 2 piece Silver plated razor, from Set No 88.
Blade; Gillette, Nacet.
Post-shave; My Concoction; Wahl Traditional Bay Rum 500mls, Witch Hazel 500mls, Moroccan Argan Oil 100mls, Bay Laurel Essential Oil 25mls, Vit E 5mls, Natural Plant Glycerine 2.5mls and 1.25mls of Tea Tree Oil Antiseptic (Thoroughly mixed together) aftershave/moisturiser splash!! ‘’Superb’’
Cologne/EDP;
Moisturiser;
Attar (Perfume Oil);
Shave; 2nd use of the Culmak No 84 Made in England brush, could come to enjoy this one? The shave was pleasant, 2 pass BBS with touch-ups from a fine old girl, I really enjoy using the Vintage Gillette’s. The New 2 piece (Set 77 & 88) one of my favourites, YMMV, but that’s your loss, :

Still lovin' your Culmak!

They are both nice handles.What I really like is they offer them in 3 inch sizes,same as Gillette standard length handlesI have no interest in other aftermarket longer handles,no matter what material they are made of..

Cheers @brit I was thinking that but unsure.
I have 2 of the Palmolive giveaways.
I have used one that which the box had disintegrated on the second shave I noticed the handle had already cracked!
I just tock this pic you can just see a crack near the knob.
Thanks for the info mate.
