Moss Anniversary Slate scuttle
Rooney 1/3 Ebony Finest (26/52)
Penhaligon's Blenheim Bouquet shaving soap (tallow)
Delta Echo Feather AS-D2/Triad Blue Aristocrat Titanium
Wilkinson Light Brigade (9)
St. James Perfumery London Collection aftershave (vintage)

The Blenheim Bouquet gets nowhere near the fame that English Fern does. But the lather this vintage soap makes is every bit as good as that of its more renowned sibling.

Now that is a very impressive line up!
 
Nearly removed my 'like' when I read that. We all have a cross to bear :rolleyes:
Father was born in Newton Heath, mate, so it is in the blood. However, assuming you are a Liverpool supporter, your lot are looking the business this season. I was fortunate enough to see some classic ManU - Liverpool games in the mid '80s, with Souness and Robson slugging it out in midfield. Great days. Two great clubs that don't like each other, but respect each other.

I am indeed. However I am not originally from Liverpool and I do follow the fate of both teams despite being swung towards the red. But having a dislike for MUFC is very much a requirement for acceptance in to city. The season has a long way to go and they did make heavy weather of Brighton last weekend. I am more rugby league at heart and a long time St.Helens supporter.

RazoRock Plissoft 22mm
Speick Active soap
Ever Ready '" Streamline "
Gem S/S [ 1 ]
Pitralon Original A/S Lotion

After 5 days of Shaves with a modified ATT SE-G I decided a Vintage Shave was in order. I chose to use a "Streamline" which is my favourite as I really learnt my SE Shaving on one ,as It was my Second SE purchase and I loved the weight of it.

I find that I have no problems using a fresh blade in this Razor, so the Shave was smooth and comfortable, though not to be treated in a Cavalier fashion as it is quite aggressive and punishes operator error. The Finish as I expected
is Top Notch, and took less time to get there than when using the ATT.Certainly a lot easier to load a blade too.
I think my next step is to put a fresh in the ATT SE-G and do some proper comparison Shaves with my favourite Vintage SE.
