View attachment 122527Birthday Shave for me today & it had to be my favourite Spanish Leather,
My favourite cream by a country mile.
Everything about it is first class with the scent being up there with the best.
The Brush is also a favourite although doesn’t get enough outings.
The Razor is borrowed from @Blademonkey and what a brilliant razor.
I’m going to use it a fair bit this week before handing it back but i have to say it’s superb.
it reminds me of my Ikon B1 in terms of aggression but it’s on my limit as a daily shaver,
In fact it’s a tad more aggressive than the B1.
For a while now iv been thinking about getting the SS Blackbird but by all accounts it’s maybe a bit on the aggressive side for me but the Ti version is spot on.
A big thank you to Paul for having the trust to loan me this wonderful razor & a big thanks to @Boycie83 for posting it out.
Overall this shave was a 10/10 bbs.
Enjoy the rest of the week

I think the handle was replaced before I bought it. It doesn’t feel or look Bakelite. Anyway, I always try not to overtighten handles. Seen too many vintage Gillettes with cracked handles.Be careful not to over tighten the knob and crack the Bakelite handle ( new spares available on Etsy ) I pronounce the soap Shear Monic….
