Vintage SOTD: Friday October 19, 2018


Razor: 1959 Gillette $1.95 “Fat Boy”
Blade: Personna Blue (1st use)
Brush: Ever-Ready 
Soap: De Vergulde Hand 
Aftershave: Proraso Green 

De Vergulde Hand from the Netherlands is the longest produced shaving soap in the world starting roughly 450 years ago. I’ve heard of some people’s experience with it drying their skin but honestly I did not have that issue or it was mitigated with this pairing. Wonderful eucalyptus scent and honestly a better match for the Proraso green aftershave than the Proraso green soap itself. It  gets strong points for ease of lather and cushion more so than post feel which was adequate however.
