Razor....Cobra Classic on loan from @culcreuch
Blade....Schick Ploline P-20
Soap....Speick Stick
Brush....Cadman Bell TGN Silvertip
Post....BBA Post Shave Balm

Another great shave from the cobra proline combo, silky smooth finnish. Tomorrow We will be trying a Feather Super blade and see if it changes the now mild mannered Cobra into a hissing beast that wants to bite us if given the chance! We are having difficulty in understanding how a Feather Super would differ from a Feather Pro because of the blade stops, if anyone can let us know we would be most greatful.

Have a great weekend but let's be careful out there!

Razor....Cobra Classic
Blade....Feather Pro Super
Soap....SV ~ Cosmo
Brush....Omega Itslian Barber Boar
Scuttle....Giles Shaving Co
Post....BBA Post Shave Balm
Scent....Chanel Allure

A close shave was had although I feel it was not as smooth as with the Schick Proline , I was still left with perfectly smooth skin but with a couple of very small weepers under my chin, the BBA PSB sorted that out lovely.
The first time using this particular SV soap and it didn't fail to impress with its property's and the lovely lather was kept warm throughout the shave with my wonderful Giles scuttle, which will be seeing more use as the weather gets colder.
Finnishing off with a light body spray of Chanel Allure and I'm perfectly well shaven and smelling wonderful.

Wishing you all a super Sunday......:)

sotd 17 sept.JPG
Pre Shave: Hot Shower + L'Oreal Pure Power Charcoal Face Wash and Proraso White
Razor: Ever Ready 1924
Blade: GEM SS PTFE (#4) + Shim
Brush: Maseto 30mm finest
Soap: The Gentlemans Groom Room - Essence of Scotland Mountain Yew
Post: Alum Block, Cold water and Thayers Lavender Witch Hazel
AS: Penhaligons Blenheim Bouquet

After a fantastic shave using a shim in 1912 razor, I thought I should try a shim in my Ever Ready 1924. An incredibly smooth result. I think I may try a longer handle on this razor, it works OK but it is maybe just a bit too short. This has to be one of the noisiest razors I have.
