It looks like I was correct, @pjgh has found an advert for Christmas 1949 and it was advertising the streamline ,so late 40s was correct.

Got all my kit together, photographed, got carried away making a lovely picture ... and didn't get to shave.

Never mind, here's the picture ...

Tabacaday! ... tonight.

First signs of old age approaching. One good reason for me having the Shave before the photograph, brushes may look a bit dishevelled though.

Mea Culpa!

Now, I am officially part of SEptember!

Supply's TheSingleEdge with Proline blades is really great razor! This blades are so smooth and sharp in TheSingleEdge.

Faena MLEV is fantastic soap - scent, slicknes and post feelings are just great! And this brush from TurnNShave is really lather machine.

For post shave, I choose Prep. Just a little bit of menthol after nice mint in soap.

SEptember 8th...(sitting an iMax theatre waiting for Stephen King's IT to start; so you're spared my crappy photography)

Soap - P&B Baskerville
Brush - Semogue 2000
Face lather
Razor - Feather AC SS non-folding
Blade - Kai Pink
Post - Alum and Thayer's
Smell - Alt-Innsbruck EDC

Not a smooth shave today. I got a smooth finish (apart from a small cut); but it was somewhat draggy. Operator error, of course, as the AC is a great razor and the Kai Pinks are smooth blades (a shout out to @patw for sending me couple of these - thanks again, Bud).

So, more practice required. But that's what it's all about.

Pre: Lots of cold water
Brush: Maseto 24mm ST
Soap: Proraso Green
Razor: Schick L1
Blade: Chick
Post: More cold water, Proraso Green ASL

This is my least favourite injector, a bit mild and having to do an extra pass on the 'tache and chin areas, causes a little bit of irritation.

​

Pre Shave: Hot Shower + L'Oreal Pure Power Charcoal Face Wash and Proraso white
Razor: Colonial General
Blade: Feather Soft Guard (#2)
Brush: Maseto 24mm 2 band finest
Soap: Pré de Provence
Post: Alum Block, Cold water and Humphreys Witch Hazel
AS: Lucky Tiger AS Tonic

I have not shaved with the Colonial General for quite a while, so it made a welcome return. What was not quite as welcome was the Feather Soft Guard blade I decided to use, the end result was actually fine but this is one odd blade. The shave was pretty much the same as the last shave with this blade in an iKon El Jefe, maybe slightly better. The first pass WTG felt very rough/tuggy, the next pass XTG was better and the final ATG pass was pretty good. No nicks, no weepers and no post shave irritation, but that first pass was too rough, I can see or rather actually feel why this blade is not well liked. Maybe I should try ATG on the first pass next time, or maybe I should not bother using these blades again.

SEptembre 9th Saturday

Razor....Supply SE 000 plate
Blade....Schick Proline
Soap....OSP ~ Peppermint & Rosemary
Brush....Razorock ~ Big Bruce

An easy shave with no problems, left me with a good finnish, with these blades, a good combo.

Tomorrow, another day another razor.

Pre: Lots of cold water
Brush: Vie-Long 13052
Cream: Sweyn Forkbeard Cedarwood Sample
Razor: Gem FHT aka G-Bar
Blade: Gem Blue Star
Post: More cold water, Floid Balsamo

First time with the FHT and it's a bit mild for my tastes.
Using two mild razors in a row confirmed my belief that a more efficient razor is kinder to the skin, less passes and less touch ups = less irritation, but as always, ymmv.
