Today's shave,
Pre: GFT Coral Skinfood.
Razor: Stahly S6.
Blade: Personna Med Prep. (2)
Brush: Simpson Chubby 2.
Cream: T&H Lavender from the sample pack.
Aftershave: Floris Santal.
EdC: Floris Santal.
[attachment=7429]
Had my first go with the Stahly and it's 'goofy flashlight handle', as I believe Martin describes it. It was a strange experience but not unpleasant, the handle is obviously chunky but it was surprisingly comfortable to use and the head is quite mild but it gives a nice smooth BBS experience with three passes. I will try the head on another handle for comparison but I am really pleased with the Stahly.
Scott.

That really is a classy looking frankenrazor and the handle matches up very well with that head design. Heh, I know the shave isn't for me but I still can appreciate something purty. Nice pic.
I think the founding father of BRW was probably one of the first to offer some well done handle options. Yours is a handsome piece and i would bet that handle definitely adds to the Old Type kinda shave in a good way.

You're not wrong there Martin, that is a class looking handle. In fact I would go a step further and say it is stunning and I want one NOW!!!

I had received this vintage OS soap earlier this week, but was doing the MWF "Soap of the week". Having a completely free day today I decided to use the straight as well as try the soap and all my other Old Spice products too.
This soap is GREAT. Almost wish I hadn't tried it since I can't replace it.

Supermax cream
Kent brush
39c slant
Perma sharp blade (first ever use)
Shave doctor moisturiser
Art of shaving Lemon aftershave gel
Really nice shave there a very smooth blade even in the slant.
Supermax went well as I'm a bit sunburnt (yes I know naughty but was at a raptor experience on Friday and didn't realise) was quite soothing with the aloe Vera in it
