Budget shave, but very good nevertheless. Razor is not mild by any means, but surpassingly efficient. Brush is a total surprise. Synthetic fan. Ideal for face lather and really good face feel!

The Proguard starts to smooth out after a few shaves, couple of weepers but good close shave finished off with some balm to keep my skin hydrated in this cold winter winds. [emoji300]ï¸

Pre: Valobra Glycerlanolina soap, Castle Forbes pre-shave gel
Brush: Savile Row 3824 Silvertip Badger
Soap: OSP Peppermint and Rosemary
Razor: Feather AS-D2
Blade: Vintage English Gillette Platinum White (1)
Post: Myrsol Emulsion / Proraso White Sensitive
Splash: Le Père Lucien Traditional
Reading Alf tearing it up with the AS-D2 inspired me to grab mine off the shelf for a run. As Alf mentions, this razor pairs best with an extra sharp blade, so in went the Vintage Gillette Platinum. The OSP Peppermint and Rosemary, to me, is 99% peppermint and 1% rosemary, for which I am thankful. The peppermint provides a different skin sensation to menthol - more tingling and less cooling, but very pleasant indeed. If you have used hair conditioners with peppermint oil, you will know the sensation.
The Savile Row brush whipped up tonnes of beautiful lather, and three very comfortable passes later, I was at DFS+. My skin was feeling so good, and I had a heap of lather left, so why not - I happily buffed away until I was BBS

Schick Proline [ 8 ]
Jaguar Prestige A/S Lotion
Am still running the Schick O clone with a single blade. Being on the mild side it shaves very smoothly, and works very well on the upper parts of my face , could not get is so close around the jawline. Will be very interested to see how well it goes with a Twin Blade, will do a couple more single Shaves before that.

First time using this blade, very good first impression. I seem to have made some good picks with my recent Try A Blade order. Have realy enjoyed most of the blades I selected. I now have a single use of both Solaris and Whitewater left. But reinforcements waiting in the wings
