Boots Freshwood balm

Great shave. First time with this soap and it's excellent. I started off with an Old Type with the Rapira but that wasn't great. I really can't get the hang of Olds. Always feels like they want to scrape no matter what blade or angle and there's no real blade gap to speak of
 
Afternoon, all.

Saturday:

Prep: Claus Porto's Lime-oil face soap
Razor: Schick Injector E3
Blade: Schick Injector (1)
Brush: Ecotools Kabuki
Shave soap: Monsavon
A/S: Sierra Stetson
Cologne: Sierra Stetson

I got hold af this injector a while back but misplaced it. After stumbling across it earlier this week, I thought it was time to give it a try. Very good shave. It felt a bit different compared to a DE, but it gave me a smooth, irritation-free face. Lots of fun.

Soap from Aleppo - Morris & Forndran blonde badger 25X53 - Gillette Fat Boy - Iridium Super #1 - Pre JASÖN - Shaving cream Lavanda Ach. Brito - Alum block - Thayers Original Aloe Vera - ASB Castle & Forbes Lavender - ASL Lavanda Ach. Brito.
 
After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:

vintage rebranded Simpsons best
'Webly'/Tungsten Personna 74 (NOS)
Surrey SS (pre VDH reformulation)
Neutrogena oil free moisturer
Aramis 'Havana' EdT (old juice)

Truly a perfect shave with the razor/blade/soap trio. I will rarely use the 74 since I only have a couple remaining. I understand why these blades sell for as much as they do. Heh, the one before this was used for 15 shaves, which is pretty nuts.

BBS results,

Martin
 
Hot flannel
Proraso pre, green
New Forest 1901, Nanny's Cedarwood and Vetyver hard soap
ATT Titan M1, Polsilver Super Iridium (3)
Cold splash, alum block
Clinique post-shave soother

First go with the Titan M1... lovely smooth shave with no weepers or irritation.... it's a good start.
Now to get out in the garden with a cigar and a beer before the sun goes in...

OK shave. Think I got a bit sunburnt yesterday as the straight was quite sore. Had to resort to the Streamline to finish it off.

Simpson Commodore x3 best badger brush

Close, clean shave. The Old type can bite when you feel like you have it tamed :icon_evil: couple of tiny nicks the razor saying I'm 88yrs old and the grand daddy. They soon stopped by the time to do the cold rinse, all is well now :icon_razz:

Speaking for everyone here, I feel lucky to even know you! I can now tell people that I am sorta buddies with a guy who got the best possible shave.

Heh, it's probably just you enjoying the cloudberry 'elixer I would guess. Tastes a little better than cough medicine, from what you've said.

Thank you very much for including us all in your circle of associates, even we are mostly on the outside looking in.

You know, looking in from the outside just ain't no good Marty, you should step inside micky's inner circle, yes I think that's a good idear! But sigh no you don't shave with a straight razor, you could just lend one from Micky ( I happen to know he's got lots of them, all shave ready)

I herd on the grape vine allso that he's got one in a glass case just for you. Still only a matter of time befoure you cave in to micky's charm.:icon_razz:
