Afternoon Everyone:

Today's agenda:

Bath, long soak and Clinique Face Scrub, followed by Bulldog moisturiser, then a wet face to which Proraso pre-shave was applied.
Brush: Omega 'Mixed Midget'
Soap: Saponificio Verasino Tundra Artica (sample)
Face lather; cold water between passes and razor rinsing
Razor: 1960s English Tech
Blade: Feather #2
Post: Thayer's, Proraso Pre-Shave
After Shave: Fine Platinum
Music: David Sylvian 'River Man'

Nice. Again, a combination of a mild razor and sharp blades really does the job. I like the Fine too...there's definetly a hint of Creed's Aventus in there; but I much prefer the Platinum. I can't justify Creed's cost. Which is a pity, because if Silver Mountain Water had anything like the longevity afforded by its price, I'd never run out.

Anyway, I digress; sorry. Great shave, lovely soap (sample still going strong) and skin suitably dolphin-esque.

Be well, folks ☺.

I hope you love it as much as I do mine, I had to wait quite long time for it to arrive but well worth it in the end.

Is your's aluminium or stainless steel? I'm told the steel and brass ones shift weight to the handle, while the aluminium retains more weight in the head...not sure which would be best. Oh...and how aggressive is it on a 1?
