One of those shaving nirvana moments today after finishing. The #77/88 was quite the surprise. I've had it a while but assumed it would shave like the LC New. This was a different animal; same genus, different species!

Instantly into my top 3!


Damn, forgot to resize the image and now I can't zoom out far enough in chrome or firefox to get the edit button....... Can anyone help? Sorry!

Warm shower
Proraso pre, green
New Forest Tubby 1, LEA stick
ATT Atlas R1, Astra SP (1) - minus the glue spots!
Cold splash, alum block
Clinique post-shave healer

Outstandingly close shave from the R1, at the expense of some irritation... jury's still out on the ATTs, but it's my fault for buying the Progess, which is the only razor I want to shave with now... YMMV

The LEA is my "least best" performing soap, but very good value for money... needs the Tubby 1 to bring it to life, then it's motoring!

First time with our own Sharon's Olive Oil shaving soap, And I'm very impressed.
It's got her trademark creamy lather, but with some extra slickness, and it lathers up easer too :heart:

Warm shower
Hot flannel
Musgo Orange amber cream scuttle lathered
Simpson Harvard 4 best badger brush
Gillette Old type ball end handle
Polsilver super iridium (2)
Cold rinse
Witch hazel
Myrsol F/extra

Close, clean shave today. I had a couple of weepers on my chin from the old type :icon_evil: First use of the Musgo cream it's ok, but not as good to lather as the Speick. The Myrsol aftershave different to anything else I've tried. A sweeter scent but pleasant.
