Boxing Day

  • Brush: Omega 50014 Travel Boar Shaving Brush, 21mm
  • Razor: Schick Repeating Razor Type B
  • Blade: Schick Vintage 20 Injector Magazine (6)
  • Lather: Sir Irisch Moos
  • Aftershave: Sir Irisch Moos

I'm starting to be impressed with the vintage Schick blade. Closing in on a week's worth of shaves, it shows no signs of tugging. Pretty damn good for 70-80 years old hunk of steel. Of course, I'm waiting for the blade to give me an excuse to use the repeater mechanism, so I'm of two minds.
