Last Night's Shave:

Pre: Valobra Glicerlanolina soap, Myrsol Emulsion
Brush: Savile Row 3824 Silvertip Badger
Soap: B&M Seville
Razor: Feather AS-D2
Blade: Vintage Wilkinson Sword Super Sword (3)
Post: Myrsol Emulsion

Beautiful lather and barber sharp scent from Barrister & Mann's top selling soap. A modern classic.
Three very comfortable passes for a DFS+.
The vintage Wilkie blade pairs very well with the AS-D2 razor.

Tonight's Shave:

Pre: Valobra Glicerlanolina soap, Myrsol Emulsion
Brush: Tony Forsyth P&C LE 2017
Soap: Stirling Scots Pine Sheep soap
Razor: Merkur Futur (2)
Blade: Vintage Wilkinson Sword Super Sword (4)
Post: Myrsol Emulsion
EDC: DR Harris Mayfair

First run with the Merkur Futur and Stirling Scots Pine Sheep Soap. Both performed very well indeed. The mutton lather was very luxurious, making for a comfortable shave and lovely post-shave feel. The scent is definitely Pine/forest, but not as robust as stablemates Coniferous and Ozark Mountain.
The Futur was really good first time out - three easy passes and pretty close to BBS. Blade feel was more noticeable than the AS-D2 (as expected) , but no irritation or weepers. The smooth grip took a bit of getting used to, but no issues. I really liked the heft of this razor -.just find the angle and let the blade do its job via the weight of the razor.

How does the mutton tallow soap feel different to bovine tallow soap?
 
Wednesday

3P Preshave cream
Proraso Sandalwood soap
Omega S10081 brush
Schick Injector (E2) razor with a Personna (#1)
Witch Hazel
Homemade Buttermix
Barbershop Natural Bay Rum

Compared to some of the razors I have been using recently.....this one DEMANDS a
little more respect. Two passes and a touchup for a really excellent shave.

The current Personna injector blades are damn sharp and you have to be more careful than with a modern "Chick" blade as well IMO. ;)

Fuss free shave with the SE1 & Proline combo,the Duke churned up the SV soap into a nice lather ending with that good post shave feel I've come to expect from this soap.

All the best for the day ahead

Hi Pat,
Top set-up. Quick question. Sinuous have any issues with fitting and removing the Proline blades in the SE1?

Cheers
Rob
