Soap - Vitos Red
Brush - Omega 11819
Razor - Yaqi DOC
Blade - Personna Lab Blue (6)
Post - Witch Hazel/Nivea Balm
AS - Benjamins Bay Rum

Yesterday's shave was so good, I repeated it all (aside from the AS), and the shave was even better today - the lather in particular was better as I loaded a bit more soap and pretty much had the perfect balance of water to soap, cushion/slickness.

I've had some mixed experiences with PBL's, but the good ones I've come across are as good as any blade I have used. The last couple didn't quite feel as good as this one, which has been superb from the very outset.

Anyway chaps, I hope you have a good day.

This late model ER 1912 Razor is IMHO the best of the 1912s that I have used. The Shave was very smooth and comfortable with none of the blade chatter associated with early 1912s, a nice close all round finish being attained.

Today my shave was with a 1930s era French adjustable Cage Head razor, the Famex. The tighter one cranks the handle, the less efficient the shave. I like an efficient shave and this old razor delivered a two pass near BBS. 5 drops of M-Bomb cooled off my favorite shave cream, Kapo, made in Bulgaria which my Jayaruh Custom Boar whipped into a thick, creamy, protective lather enhanced by my PAA Cube Preshave soap. Altogether wonderful shave! I feel cool, smooth and refreshed!
