I seem to have been using a lot of Shave sticks recently..... Good to remind my self that there are alternatives to more strongly scented artisan soaps. They are both convenient and effective! I used a Proline for the first time with the Black Hawk....more out of interest than necessity as I thought the Feathers were just fine. I couldn't believe the difference. Sooooooo smooth. I had a really enjoyable smooth and efficient BBS shave and that is me set up for my Sunday:D
 
Sunday 24 SEptember 2017 :)

Pre-shave - Warm shower, Wright's Cold Tar Soap face wash.
Razor - Supply-SE (V1.0) - Plate ** (comfort).
Blade - Schick Proline p-20 (Day 2).
Soap - D.R Harris Eucalyptus Shaving Cream.
Bowl - Little Wren.
Brush - Simpsons The Duke 2 Pure Badger.
Post shave - D R Harris Skin Tonic, followed by Ibiza-Aloe Aloe-Vera Gel and Floid Vigoroso Aftershave.

A great shave - I am really happy that I have discovered the Supply-SE with the Proline p-20 - an exquisite pairing.

I am loving SEptember - although, off on a trip from Thursday - will have my trusty iKon 101 packed - my go to travel razor for quality shaves and robustness.

Tomorrow will be my last shave with this Cobra and apart from a couple of days when testing other blades I have had two weeks of great shaves and have come to love this razor so much so that I will be getting one for myself sometime soon I hope. So Thank you B. The lone of your razor has been very much appreciated and I hope I can repay the favor some day.
Today was no different, an outstanding shave that left me smooth skinned with zero irritation.
Finnishing with the ASB, the last one of which I will use tomorrow.

What a great way to start the week, I may have to re-evaluate my favourite vintage SE, an incredibly smooth and effortless shave.

A fine razor indeed and surely must be at the top of the tree when it comes to vintage SE's, not quite as nimble as a 1912/1914 but with a light touch will give a shave to equal the others with the refinement and style that the Streamline is not short of.........YMMV ect.....:)

Once you get used to so much weight in such a small package, it becomes a dream to use and less unwieldy with every use.
Fantastic razor, my skin's super smooth and feeling great.
 
Proraso pre and shave cream, Focus r48 with half Gillette silver blue blade. This Razor is fantastic once you get used to it, as you probably should do with any razor. Only two passes for a close irritation free shave. It is also a great razor for shaving under the nostrils. I have decided that until now, I have been a bit mean with the Proraso cream! Use a generous amount and it rewards you with a velvety cream worthy of more expensive creams. It will still last month's.
