Razor...Murker 45 (Bakelite)
Blade...Gillette Bleue Extra NOS #3
Soap..Groom Room Highland Bothy
Brush...SOC two band badger
Post..Thayers Lavender
EDT ...Bijou Christian Lacroix

I have been kindly lent this razor by @patw to try before I decide to buy one for myself or not, thanks Pat.
As you can see from the picture there is plenty of blade on show and the cap bends the blade quite a bit, so I thought this may be a bit of an aggressive shave.....how wrong I was.
The shave was very mild indeed and I needed to do a full four passes to get a finnish I was happy with but this could be down to the blade that was on its last shave or maybe because the razor is so light I didn't know how much pressure I needed to shave with, it's very hard when you've been used to relatively heavy razors to get a feel for this razor straight away, so I will use again with a new blade and see how I go. Over all though a good shave was had.

Have a great day people.....:)

Couple of small weepers, but otherwise an ok shave.
