OMG, this blade/razor combo just gets better. No nick/weepers, just a super smooth shave with next to sting from the AS .
Superb.
Last shave though, time to move to a different combo...
Nice week of shaves.
Have good weekend gents

Very good looking brush, Steve - who and where from, please?

I'm afraid it was a limited run of 100 for the big shave. A guy in America or possibly Canada made them.

After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:

vintage butterscotch rebranded Simpsons best
'Kaily/Gillette Super Stainless 1991 Argentina (very nice)
Klar Kabinett SS
Myrsol Emulsion (cheers, Mr Miguel)
The Gentleman's Quarter 'Leatherneck' extrait (probably my favorite frag)

This soap really is (or was) a hell of a great deal. Nothing bad to say about it, although some people find it a bit drying. Fine for me though, and the slip,cushion, and post shave feel are all better than average. Plus the scent is just right.

There's about 1/8 ounce left of this small batch juice and it's gone forever. Been nursing this small bottle for 4-5 years now. Never huffed anything quite like it.

BBS results,

Martin

Beautiful backdrop! I need to go to Slovenia. An ex girlfriend of mine was from Ljubljana - we met while at university in Brussels - yet I never visited.

Rock Face scrub
Wilkinson Sword brush and blue bowl soap
Bluebeards Revenge Shavette and Israeli blade

I've decided that I really do not like the Israeli blades. Duller than a Michael Macintyre "comedy" show.

First shave with my Hoffritz slant, paired with a Rapira swede.
Used the Twaburds Burds of Paradise soap again. I really ought to review this soap as it's very good.

Nice.
