I've never quite gotton the best from this razor so I took it back to an 8k hone and followed with a couple of others and a Zulu Grey stone - much, much better. It's just a pity that the focus was not as good as the shave.

Planet Rock
long, warm shower.
Ever Ready 1912, Gem blade(1) (are there other SE blades to fit the 1912?)
T&H no. 10, New Forest brush
Proraso ASL
simple, three pass shave. I am absolutely loving the shaves I am getting from the 1912/Gem combination. Effortless, intuitive shaving.
Super smooth coupon!

If you want to try a Feather SE you will need to take the spine off a Gem and use it on the Feather - well worth a try although the life is very limited.
A search through the SE section will find Dick's description for easily removing the spine.
Evening, everyone.
Sunday:
Prep: Claus Porto's Lime-oil face soap
Razor: Weishi
Blade: Perma-Sharp Super (2)
Brush: Ecotools Kabuki
Shave soap: Kell's Hemp and Aloe unscented stick
A/S: Pashana Bay Rum
Cologne: Kouros
Well, the shave was visually acceptable with no irritation at all and, after my skin dried off, the remaining stubble shrank back to a mild fuzz which wasn't too bad. I'll try Dodgy's advice about more pressure, though it'll feel odd since it goes against everything I've learnt about wetshaving. There was a thread on Badger and Blade about the Weishi where some contributors wrote that a good, smooth shave was possible once you found the rather small sweet spot. The search continues.

Prep: Hot shower, face scrub.
Brush: Omega 10065.
Cream: TOBS Rose- face lathered.
Razor: Old type copy.
Blade: Sputnik (3).
Post: Witch hazel, Steve's Barbershop Bay Rum, RSC post shave balm.
I was really surprised how little cream I needed to make such a brilliant lather. Barely any on the tips at all, and I had plenty for my 2 pass shave, maybe even enough left for another 2. The scent seems to last longer through the shave when I face lather with it too, and I love the rose. The brush feels incredible too, my oldest brush and still my favourite. I definitely prefer the boar to my other brushes. YMMV of course. Great shave, set me up for a long day this morning. Now the weekend is over, they always go too fast!
