  • Brush: Zenith B40 28mm Boar
  • Razor: Gillette President Y-2
  • Blade: Gillette 7 O'Clock Super Stainless (Green) (1)
  • Lather: Ariana & Evans - The Undersea - Soap
  • Toner: Thayers - Coconut - Toner
  • Aftershave: Ariana & Evans - The Undersea - Aftershave

2 passes. Face lather. Excellent shave.


I'm continuing to enjoy BBS Novemboar. Almost done with my A&E soaps. I think Undersea is blended very well. It's obviously aquatic but keeps me guessing while I use it.

Yesterday's Gillette President was a restored model that was gold plated, but this one is an unrestored, vintage rhodium version. Even though I rarely pick up my DE razors these days, I enjoy them when I do use them.
