Razor: Schick Injector L1

Prep: hot shower (not to hot though, bloody teenagers)
Brush: Custom by Penofstheforest, my deepest gratitude to a top bloke, Rod!
Razor: C V Heljestrand M K no:15
Soap: MdC
AS: Blue Floid (like many warm days )
Strops: Neil Miller
Result: Very, very close
This's the only Heljestrand MK razor with this design, I can recall seeing: It was very common with Klas Törnblom and not uncommon with E A Berg, but Heljestrand didn't seem to jump up on this design train very willing

[dodgy]

After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:

Savile Row badger
'Webly'/Iridium
RL Safari SS
Lucky Tiger AS and Face Tonic
Roger & Gallet L'Homme 'Sport' EdT

Well, if I hadda pick one blade to use forever, it might be the Super Iridium. First time I tried one years ago I knew it was about perfect for me. One of the very best overall smooth/sharp/forgiving blades out there.

BBS results,

Martin
