The WS classic , for me personally is a wonderful razor that can be made efficient with the right blade choice , it's perfect for everyday shaving and a great travel razor...Every wet shaver should have one of these 'Classic' in-expensive DE razors.

~SOTD~

Shower, Valbora Glicerlanolina Soap
Blackland Dart
Vintage Gillette Super Stainless (the Spoiler)
Penhalligon's Bayolea Shave Soap
Thater Silvertip
Thayers
Penhaligon's Bayolea edt

A fantastic Sunday shave was had today, the blades were kindly gifted to me by @TomG all the way from Australia, thanks Tom. I now know why they were also known as "the Spoiler", Man these blades are good. I'm sure they work as well in all razors but it was as if the blade was made for the Dart, what a shave!
The Penhaligons Bayolea shave soap was worked into a great lather and it had a good strength of the Bayolea scent that i used at the end of my shave.
A BBS finnish and smelling great, what more could I ask.

I hope the weather is better where you are, steady rain all morning so far!

Cella
Omega 11137
Gillette Fatboy
Gillette Super Stainless - Aussie Spoiler (2)

It's hard to fault the performance of Cella, as it is the Aussie Spoiler blades. I dialled the Fatboy down so as to enjoy a relaxed, and relaxing, three pass shave. Have a great day gents.

Prep: Warm shower, Original Source Mint and Tea Tree shower gel followed by Nivea Sensitive Face Wash then Proraso Pre Shave cream Eucalyptus and Menthol
Soap: Proraso Eucalyptus and Menthol
Brush: Executive Shaving Medium Jock synthetic
Razor: Schick Adjustable Injector
Blade: Schick Injector (2)
Post: Cold rinse, Thayers Witch Hazel with Cucumber, Brut aftershave then Proraso Eucalyptus and Menthol balm.

A refreshing afternoon shower and shave. The mint/menthol approach has certainly woke me and my skin up!

After last nights finish with the Schick dialled right down to the No. 1 setting, this is how I approached today's shave.

It seems to have worked well!

A few weepers by the end, including the nick I gave myself last night, but these cleared up during my cold water rinse.

I'm happy with the final result but I defo prefer my 34c for comfort and finish.

I'll rest the Schick for the time being but it's been a good learning experience. It needs a bit more concentration and experimenting, maybe try a few more settings, but I'll give myself time to settle back into my usual routine before having another go.

Have a great Saturday night folks! Time for a half! [emoji482]

Sun 26th Aug
RazoRock Syn.24mm
P & B Spitfire
ATT SE-G-- modded base plate
Gem S/S [ 4 ]
Tuff Red A/S Lotion

Today had my 4th consecutive Shave with the ATT SE-G, which thanks to the efforts of Paul @Blademonkey now works as an efficient Razor, as intended by ATT ? [ IMHO they failed ]

Really enjoyed a leisurely Shave today, and as I took my time not only was the Shave smooth and comfortable,
but the all round finish was ultra close too. Now this Razor thanks to Paul is a good Daily Shaver, and with ease eradicates my quite tough beard, and so far no mishaps nor has the shaving process caused any irritation or soreness. I do have unfortunately have to return the base plate, but Paul has kindly offered to sort out mine. I look forward to that as I will be able to use the Razor in my rotation. I can see it giving the Streamline a run for its money:).
