It is good but I only paid £18 about a year ago.Dont think I would pay £30 for it
Mon 3rd Oct
Stirling Syn. 26mm
Lea Classic Soap
Schick B1 repeater
Schick S/S [ 5-Chick ]-hand loaded
Alum Rub/Rinse off
Lea Classic A/S lotion
Interesting to use this piece of shaving history. Not quite sure if I got the blade loaded properly. On initial strokes one feels the cutting going on ,then the razor feels so smooth I am not sure how effective it is. I perhaps should have made more finishing passes , as
the resultant shave whilst acceptable, was patchy in places.
Will continue to use the Razor with the current blade, and then replace it carefully with a
Vintage blade. As an aside I will say how well the square handle feels during the shave.

SOTD Monday 3rd October 2016. Good morning one and all.Prep..Shower, MWF soap
Pre..Bloom water
Soap..OSP Neroli
Brush..Kent BK8
Razor..ATT S2 fat handle
Blade..Gillette Nacet #2
Post..Thayers lavender AF
EDP..Obsession Celvin Kline
A wonderful shave was had today , my S2 with the Nacet was mowing through my stubble with ease gliding along the OSP slick lather filling the air with a fantastic scent, such a joy, all done at my own pace, it's very relaxing indeed. Perfect, smooth with zero irritation .
Finnished off with a good splash of lavender witch hazel and the EDP on my pulse points .
Wishing you all a magical Monday..over and out.
