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 worked in Antwerp in the 90's and even now, if I have a chesty cold and I'm clearing my throat in the morning, it reminds me of ordering breakfast!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.
The Dutch pronunciation of sch is more Skeer from the throat. Not something that’s easy to master for a foreigner learning the language without then spitting in someone’s face
@Mike Smart - belated what he said mate - cheers - I.Happy Birthday and many happy returns @Mike Smart
You're welcome Mike. Thanks for your continuous supportRazor = Blackland Blackbird Titanium
Blade = Gillette Nacet Golden Shave ( 3 )

Cream = Geo F Trumper Eucris with matching splash & Balm.
View attachment 122564Another brilliant shave with the Blackbird.
iv decided to try shave everyday whilst i’m home & i plan on being home most of the summer.
I went with the second plate marked Lite but for me it was very similar to the original with little to no difference in aggression or angle.
It’s pretty much a perfect razor.
The Brush was a group buy from a spanish forum & once i seen it i had to have one
i’m not 100% stuck on synthetic knots but this one is by far the best iv tried.
A Big Thank You to Gile for his knot recommendation.
