In this Shavetrooper intel briefing, I spotlight a true piece of American grooming history with Caswell-Massey Number Six shaving cream and aftershave — the very fragrance associated with George Washington himself.
This brushless shaving cream is perfect for both seasoned wet shavers and newcomers looking for simplicity without sacrificing performance. All it takes is a quarter-sized amount applied with your fingertips to build a rich, protective lather right on your face — no shaving brush required. Paired with a 1976 Gillette Super Speed safety razor, this shave blends heritage technique with effortless execution.
The legendary Number Six scent opens with bright citrus and bergamot, evolves through herbal rosemary and neroli, and settles into a warm base of amber and musk. The result is a clean, refined profile that feels timeless rather than overpowering.
In real-world use, this setup delivers a smooth, irritation-free shave with lasting post-shave freshness. The aftershave provides a comfortable finish that carries subtle confidence throughout the day, making it an excellent option for daily wear.
All products featured were purchased with my own credits, and my opinions are entirely my own — shared to help you navigate the world of traditional wet shaving with clarity and confidence.
Until next time, stay sharp, stay groomed, and remember: The Empire approves this shave.
Move along. Move along.
