CRSW Select Fall LE bowl lathered

Nearing the end of Open Comb shaving for October, 11 different razors during the month.
This is the second Single Ring I've used this month. This one is part of a combination set and is marked with British Patent No and a serial No on the handle E 295135 I'm guessing dates it to the 1910 - 1912 period, the British numbers differ from the US ones, no direct comparison.
The shave was wonderful, efficient and with a very shallow angle and care it delivered a very clean shave. Two more shaves and then I'll give my other razors SB and OC an outing during November changing the styles around a bit.
 
Razor - Ever Ready 1912
Blades - GEM
Soap - Wickham SS Dandyism
Brush - Whipped Dog
EDT - Dunhill 51.3N

Fabulous late shave today, two passes, very close BBS all finished in Dunhill's finest 51.3N. Felling good, looking super and smelling desirable! :D

First outing for the Weber in some time, but with excellent result. 7 O'Clock Black hung in there for a 5th shave. New blade tomorrow though.
 
Shower
NSS Bamboo & White Grape
Semogue 830

What a great blade these super thins are, pity they arn't made anymore (at least I assume they are not?)
Cracking shave, awesome lather from the NSS - I think I've cracked bowl lathering soaps - 37c efficient as always....

Friday

Edwin Jagger DE89
Astra SP Blade
Kent Infinity Silvertex Brush
Tabac Shaving Soap (Stick)

Spun the brush on the top of the stick to load it and then palm lathered. Haven't use Tabac for ages, and I'd forgotten how good it is. The stick is quite an old one and the scent has calmed a bit and was actually pleasant rather than "take it or leave it".
