Razor: 1956 Gillette flare tip super speed
Blade: Feather (3)
Brush: Captain Fawcett Synthetic V
Soap: Pinnacle Grooming Who ya gonna call
Post shave: Who ya gonna call aftershave splash
This was my first time trying out the flare tip super speed after having tried the TV special, previously so.
I was expecting a similar experience to that razor and it didn't disappoint.
Mild with no real blade feel but very efficient.
Although I have to say that I think the TV special has the edge as far as efficiency is concerned, which was most noticeable on the first pass.
Overall though it delivered a very comfortable, easy shave with perfect results and no post shave issues.
I honestly think outside of a Gillette adjustable, the flare tip may just be the perfect beginners to daily driver razor, especially when you consider how readily available and inexpensive they are.
Pinnacles soap performed very well again, especially paired with the Glycerin soap pre shave prep and the warm amber forward scent has really grown on me.
Finished off with the matching aftershave splash which kicks like a mule but soothes the skin very nicely.
Have a great weekend!
. Many people in YT use very expensive high end badgers and in the second pass there isn't any lather left, only a transparent frothy mess.
