Pre Shave: Hot Shower + Body Shop Maca Root face wash and Proraso White
Razor: Schick Type B2
Blade: Schick China (#1)
Brush: Maseto 24mm finest extra density
Soap: Kent
Post: Alum Block, Cold water and Humphreys Witch Hazel
AS: Bulldog Balm
First shave with my newly acquired Schick Type B2. I was a bit disappointed when it arrived to find the internal spring was broken, however much googling and forum searching it turns out that loading modern blades is just as well done direct by hand. The razor only needed a good scrub with a toothbrush and dish washing liquid. It has a few "teeth" marks where I suspect someone used pliers or grips to get it open, which is possibly when the spring broke.
It shaves superbly, it feels different to any other razor I have tried, it is very smooth and feels like there is no blade. The angle took a few strokes to get but after that it was wonderful, the angle is odd almost 90 degrees to the face.
