Moring Chris. Great shave with and old razor. Gillette must have done somethings right, how many of todays products will be around in 50-60 yrs? Thanks for the link in facebook. I applied for acceptance. Have a nice day.
Nice Shave Chris 👍 I use My Toggle D-1 every Sunday 🥰 I really appreciate and enjoy the Shave with Vintage Old Spice and the Toggle . History is one of the coolest things about traditional wet shaving for me. I too set mine at 9
I won a toggle in a raffle and have only used it once or twice. They are a great piece of history and shave well. Great shaving experience you shared with us all.
I’m the same, never tried a toggle. My last order from PAA I bought Clubguy and Cold Spice regular CK soap. Loved them both. I just bought the soaps this time and used the current AS from the drugstore since I dig both. Nice shave. I will have to check out the BST you created. Enjoy the weekend brother. Steve
I love my vintage Gillette razors and I use them on a weekly basis. I have always done better with milder razors so the vintage Gillette razors are right up my alley. I would love to get my hands on a toggle.
I find that each natural hair brush has it's own lather, if you will, where the syn brushes seem to lather uniformly. However, a silvertip is still hard to beat imo. Can't go wrong with PAA and vintage Gillette. Interesting shave.
Great shave and discussion about vintage razors, I didn't purchase my first new razors until a couple months ago. Everything I use that's vintage is around 55 years or older and the newest vintage one I have is 37 years old that I purchase myself in 1983. I prefer the milder razors that most of the Gillette persuasion provide
Hi Chris nice to see the toggle seen them before but first time I’ve seen one in use. I live in the U.K. 99% of vintage razors for sale tend to be in the states so not easy to acquire in U.K. Keep well and keep safe.
Those are cool looking two sided thingies. Congrats on the turning up. Turn it up... leave it up... and turn it loose. Also happy you did not twist on the knob during the shave. I will be checking out that soap scent. I have the Stirling Spice that is nice.
When you told me that you created that BST, my mind was blown! Talking about creating something significant that has continuously benefited this community! Wow. And thanks again for your purchase and trusting me to do right by you! Have a great day brother.
That toggle is a beautiful piece of history. I like the pairing with Old Spice, I mean, Cold Spices. I need to get some of that. Cool you started that group 🤙🤩
Nice shave, Chris. It's great to see that EverReady brush doing a nice job after so many years. I'm still hoping to find a Gillette Toggle at a yard/estate sale (fingers crossed). ;) Cheers!
@@IAMCDB I couldn’t find many on eBay but there’s a few on there with prices all over the place and I couldn’t seem to find anything on how much they typically go for. So thanks for your opinion!
Hey Chris how are you? Very intriguing video, I have actually never heard about this razor, so it’s interesting to learn about something new. I hope you have a wonderful weekend. 👍😃
Do you wear a face mas in public there? I can't imagine what the mustache and goatee must be like after walking around in warm weather. My mouth and chin are soaked after 30 minutes. Are you going to go face naked this summer? Remember, it's not a shave if you don't shave the chin and upper lip region!
Honestly, I haven't been out in public more than a handful of times. I put the mask on long enough to go to the store or whatever and that's it. In terms of the shave, I see your stache and chin area and raise you an entire dome shave. Dome shaving IMO is by far the most difficult.
@@IAMCDB I almost did it with a buzz cut I gave myself 3 months ago. I cut the hair on my noggin to within 1/16" using electric clippers. Obviously, it's not shaving, though. A mustache and goatee with my stubble that almost grows into my nose reduces a 3 pass shave and pickups for me to a little over 10 minutes long. I can't tell you how many times I need to buff the area directly under the nostrils. This is a photo from Movember 2018. It's the last time I grew a mustache and goatee. This is a 30 day growth and I had to buzz the mustache and trim the hair growing over the lip at the two week period: imgur.com/a/eam7xFL If you look closely, you'll see the stubble growing down to the collarbone.
@@IAMCDB Looking again at that photo, I just realized how much time I need to spend in that area just below the lower lip. I need a good 4 buffs a tiny fraction under the lower lip after the 3rd pass to get to BBS. I've also noticed that very few shavers need to trim the bridge of their nose during a shave. If I didn't , I would have a bit of a unibrow going on. I have to perform a few strokes on the sides of the eyes and very top of the cheekbones under the eyes, too.
I would love, love a Toggle! Oh boy. That was terrific shave Chris, thank you. The brush was amazing; I have a vintage, NOS, Gillette travel brush with a pure badger knot and I've found that it is the best badger knot I have tried. It too isn't really scritchy at all. I'm not so much into natural hairs normally. I really enjoyed your look of resignation when you talked about dipping into you savings, for that stone. Classic. Enjoy your Sunday.
Nice shave Chris. The Toggle is a beautiful razor. If I can ever find one in the wild at a fair price I'll have to grab one. Congrats on the Ozuku. I just bought my first set of stones tonight from Jack at the Virtual Groom Room. I'm very excited to get them.
Nice shave .... I've been on the fence about Cold Spice. I'm literally a vintage guy, my Gillette date code would be a Z4 if they would have stamped it on me at the hospital. I grew up with the original scent (my pop used it) and kI recently placed an order with PAA and added a sample of the soap and AS to try. Hope it meets my expectations.
Thanks David, I really enjoyed it. I was really surprised by how well the brush worked. Normally strongly dislike natural hair brushes but it was pretty darned good. I really enjoyed the razor as well, it's quite a piece. Thanks so much for letting me try these things.
A toggle?? Oh my. That’s pretty sweet right there. Loved the shave Chris, I’m a sucker for Old Spice, I think I need that set lol. Have a great weekend!
Great video as always; I love my D1 (1958 first quarter) Toggle. Not just because of how rare it is but it delivers a most excellent shave every time I use it.
