Yep, I'm still alive and still enjoying shaving in a more traditional way. Pictured above is a set up I used exclusively for several weeks. The Weber Polished Head stainless steel razor was purchased in April and has been a very nice addition to my assault on whiskers. The Godrej shaving cream came from a Pay It Forward I received all the way from India. The Vie-Long horsehair shaving brush is the main brush I used most days. And Old Spice, well, I've been using it for a long time and I am comfortable with it.
I also use this Gillette Tech razor to shave my head. I just figured out that it is a 1954 model! That, unbelievably, is older than me. I've started using Feather Hi Stainless blades in this razor and this makes for a great combo and always results in cue ball smooth head shaves with nary a nick to be found.
The other item I have added to my arsenal of shaving weaponry is a scuttle from Georgetown Pottery. The idea around a shaving scuttle is to make warm lather by filling the outer chamber with hot water and making the lather in the bowl. It seems to work quite well. I had no idea I would enjoy warm lather, but I certainly do.
I'll try to update more often.
