Razor: Charcoal Goods Lvl 2 DC | Magnum
Blade: Wizamet Super Iridium (7)
Brush: Elite Razor Manchurian 'Sky Blue'
Soap: Talbot Shaving 'Buttery Brook'
​
Talbot Shaving's v2 is fantastic and it may be hard to believe but better than v1. It's a thirsty bugger though but you will be showered with the rewards of slickness, residual slickness, cushion, and post-shave feel. Fantastic soap base and well done, Chad!

d'Ardenne Short & Bell Colonial ~ Yaqi Purple Haze Mew ~ Mappin & Webb Trustworthy ~ Nivea 2-Phase ~ Royal Amber Attar

Absolute belter of a shave. The Mew/Synbad knot is lovely, I'm in love with this soap and tried the Nivea 2-Phase for the first time... Smells like a dentists and goes on very oily, thankfully the smell soon dissipates and the lotion is absorbed quickly leaving a silky smooth face feel. Proper job ;)

Vulfix 404 mixed
Vitos Super Red
ES Claymore SE-V1
Schick Proline [ 14 ]
Pitralon Classic A/S Lotion

I consider myself quite lucky to have got hold of a V1 Claymore SE, it might not be as pretty as other offerings but when mastered delivers really good trouble free Shaves.

Today using the ever dependable Vitos and a blade on its 14th outing, I had a remarkably smooth and comfortable shave, not only trouble free but ultra close finish too.I find that it works better along my lower jawline than most of my other Razors, SE & Injector both Vintage & modern. It is a shame that this inexpensive version is discontinued being replaced by a slimmer more expensive machine tooled version 3.
