Greetings,

First shave of 2026.

Happy New Year to all members of ATG, wishing you all peace good health, happiness & contentedness for 2026.

In my January focus I will be using the Parker 92R razor paired together with the Treet Classic DE blades for my face shaves. For my head/dome shaves I will be using the Gillette guard cartridge razor.

It maybe my imagination but I find the 3 piece parker models slightly more efficient than the TTO models.

The 92R has a good heft & balance is efficient and like all my other parkers it isn't fussy with what blade I pair it up with.

A relaxing close comfortable shave to start 2026 wonderfully.

Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of aloe vera sensitive aftershave gel.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling divine.😉

Stay safe, and enjoy the first day of 2026. ladies & gentlemen.😎

Hi all,
First Shave of 2026 why not start the year with my fav of the Gillette flair tips being the British rocket red tip this example was restored by Back Roads Gold in 2023.
I have used or owned all of the flair tips and "in my opinion" the rocket red has the edge over the super speed red tip in efficiency.
The rocket red is a hansom safety razor that feels great in the hand with great grip and balance all in all I rate it as one of the best post 1940s Gillette TTO's razors.

I matched it with a Voskhod blade for this shave because of its sharp smooth manners. (I know this blade has had some bad press over the years but that has never
been my experiences like all modern blades they don't suit every DE razor you need to pick the right blade and this only comes from trial and error or advice).

The butterfly Garden Limonella was gifted to me by a good friend the scent is amazing the blend of Kaffir lime and Italian lime gives a zesty aftershave feel.

Finished off nicely with classic Cella Splash a great aftershave at a reasonable price.

1 pass WTG 1 pass ATG no touch-ups.
No nicks No worries.....
I hope you have all had a good new years day even if your nursing a hang over.

Cheers.
