Shave of the year, so far ...
Wonderful! Seriously, the best shave I've had this year. Very much enjoyed.
What was it, you say?
Lovely soak in the bath with a bottle of Guinness XX and a good prep wash using a mildly exfoliating charcoal soap from EcoCalm.
Dried off, I wet my face again and using a Haryali synthetic knot fixed into a lovely horn handle from Ganvillage Green, I loaded up with RazoRock SMDF. Lathered, building on my face and taking my time ...
I've bought and sold over 250 1912s, more perhaps. I have one which came in a case that I'd never seen before, the Ever-Ready man inlayed into a bakelite case and a regular 1940s British 1912. Mint, I think. New blade and off I went.
Perfect! Just perfect.
Hot rinse to cleanse off the soap. Cold rinse to refresh. Splash of RazoRock SMDF Aftershave and patted some Pinaud Eau de Portugal on my remaining hair.
Champion!
