Razor: Gillette Black Tip X 3 1952
Blade: Wilkinson Sword (3)
Brush: Semogue 1305 Boar Tri Coloured Handle Wood Handle
Soap: Route 66 Bourbon Jungle
Aftershave: Route 66 Bourbon Jungle Balm

Outstanding three passes with a clean up for a near BBS. Bourbon Jungle is in my top 3 shave soaps. Route 66 Bourbon Jungle has a rich woody notes of Italian Bergamot, Apple Wood and Tonka Bean rounded by hints of Patchouli, Cedar wood, and Oakmoss, with exotic notes of Cardamom, Vanilla Bourbon and Allspice. The aftershave balm is a great finish.

This is quite an audible shaver, and initially all was going well. Then when I got to the upper lip I found the going quite harsh and unpleasant.
Having stopped the Shave,I inserted a 1/2 spine shim and restarted. The difference was amazing, so smooth I was able to finish off the Shave easily, and attained a good all round finish. For me all future Shaves will be with a Shim.
