RazoRock Plissoft 24mm
P & B Spitfire
Supply SE V1 + revised Plate 3 from V2
Schick Proline ( 1 )
Pitralon Original A/S Lotion

I brought the Supply V1 as I enjoyed Shaving with Vintage Injectors. However despite trying different blades out on plate 3 , I found the Razor too mild. With a lot of work I could get a passable Shave. i contacted the manufacturer who kindly sent me the revised V2 plate 3.

As this arrived yesterday I had to try it out.Fitted the new plate and a fresh blade.What a difference,not only smooth and comfortable but efficient.In next tono time I completed the Shave which was nice and close all round.Early days but the Shave quality seems as good as those I get with my best Injectors.

Blade: Astra SP #1 (trimmed)
Razor: Gibbs #15 Adjustable (on loan @Digimonkey )
Brush: Semogue 620 Boar
Soap: Le Pere Lucien Rose de Pushkar
Post: Thayers Witch Hazel Rose
EDP: Attar Sandal Rose oil

My first time use with the Gibbs adjustable so generously loaned to me by @Digimonkey. Thank you very much Iain.
I have read so many positive reviews about this razor and I was not let down.
It is beautifully designed. Compact & Bijou some would say. The balance and maneuverability is spot on.
So smooth and comfortable set at "N" for 3 glorious passes.
I always pair a DE razor for the first time with an Astra SP and it proved a great choice to leave me BBS.

The little boar worked perfectly with the small container of the LPL soap to form an outstanding lather that was so slick and beautifully scented. Post shave is fantastic. I love this stuff.

Finished with some Thayers and Attar Rose oil on my pressure points.

Enjoy your shaves! :)

L'Oreal Men Expert Hydra Sensitive Face Wash
JR 168 Tuxedo Synthetic
Catie's Bubbles Conneticut Shade
Gillette Slim Adjustable
Gillette Wilkinson sword blade
A little alum, and
Nivea Sensitive Post Shave Balm

Ive never used one of these blades before. I liked it a lot. How can it be Gillette and Wilkinson Sword at the same time??
Anyone used them before? I think they're really smooth.

Enjoy your evening all :D

The Gillette Wilkinson sword Saloon pack blades are superb,as you've rightly stated 'really smooth', the name of them is slightly off-putting, but i personally would advise people to give them a try'. Regards.

Try it on 4 Wayne, I think you won't want to give it back. :)
 
Evening shave.

BBA Face Wash
Valobra (unscented)
Thäter 4125/2
Rockwell 6c (plate 4)
Gillette Silver Blue (3)
Pitralon Classic Aftershave

Valobra is my favourite soap. A doddle to lather, plenty of cushioning, and as slick as you like. Throw in a superb post-shave feel and you have the lot. My only quandary during the shave was trying to decide whether I prefer the Gillette Silver Blues or the Polsilvers. Both perform superbly in all my DE Razors. All I need now is a handsome win for the lillywhites.
