So, it's time for shaving and I pull out the Hibbard, Spencer blade together with Jabonmans Citrocos, Myrsols Formula C and New Forest 2201 brush. I found an old bottle of La Toja Manantiales at El Corte Ingles here in Barcelona ... Not very close to the dito soap or AS from La Toja, not those excellent mineral tones and fresh feeling about it, but more old school barber shop, I think (a little more classy than your reg barber shop scent, but never the less).

After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:
vintage butterscotch Made Rite badger
Schick F type injector/Gillette Platinum Plus (1970 NOS)
Kent SS
no aftershave
Malizia 'Vetyver EdT
Man oh man, I get a close and comfortable shave with this old (1940-41) razor. Lots different head design than the other injectors I've tried such as the E, G, I, J, K, L, and M types. Pretty nice having this in the arsenal.
BBS results,
Martin

Hot flannel
Proraso pre, menthol
Omega 11137, Nanny's hard soap Cedarwood & Vetyver
Feather AS-D2, Rapira Swedish (3)
Cold splash
Clinique post-shave soother
Feeling under the weather (courtesy of curry and lager) so decided to go for a comfortable rather than a close shave... turned out very comfortable and pretty damn smooth too. The AS-D2 is now up there with the Weber and Progress... I have to try pretty hard to get a bad shave out of it (usually by being "experimental"). I'll have to try a Feather blade in it sometime... but can't see it being better than my usual faves

Nice simple shave think I've cracked hard soap lathering now and I was expecting c&e soaps to be a bit more work after reading some recent topic but this works as easily as any other hard soap I have. Just need a bit more work on soft soaps now

Martini, do you have a pic of your new toy? I'm intrigued. I want a bit of my own medecine.
A few days ago I see you singing its virtues and I'm starting to not sleep thinking about it.
Maybe is the alu handle, and you pretend pair it with the wonderful Rubberset 400 you sent to GD to restore?
But maybe I do not understand English very well and I do not know what I read. It is the most probable. Well, a pic will be appreciated. A hug, my friend.
Well, I know now will come a lot of lines in this slang yours even more difficult to understand by me, ha ha.
