another real close shave this morning first time using the orange patchouli soap it preformed great excellent lather but the scent was horrible must be the patchouli made me feel a bit sick :( iv tried other OSP soaps barber shop and neroli and they were fine but this ones not for me , anyway everything else I used worked great the voskhod blade felt smooth in the Qshave and these YaQi brushes are excellent , to keep the orange theme going I finished my shave of with the fine l'orange noir aftershave definitely one of my favorites ... hope you all have a good day :) ...

On less than 20 hours growth, all that was required was the mild efficiency of the 1904.
Ah well, my sandalwood week has come to an end.
Have a great weekend everyone.

Greetings,

A new set up to start the weekend, I've have a look in my shaving den at shaving items i haven't been giving much attention too, over the last few months and added them to today's shaving setup.

The Merkur 37C/Treet carbon blade worked really well together, i'm amazed that i havent used the Treet carbon blades more often,probably because i've read some biased opinion on them and stuck to using Stainless steel blades, a blade that's well matched with my slant razors...very smooth & sharp.

A wonderful 3 pass + pick ups silky smooth shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with a generous splash of Herbs of Bulgaria Lavender A/S, & Benetton ~ Essence of Man EDT. both products worked together very nicely.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling devine.;)


Enjoy the start of the weekend, ladies & gentlemen.:cool:​

Morning shave.

Baxters of California Face Wash, BBA Shave oil.
PAA CaD.
YaQi 28mm Synth Tuxedo.
Little Wren Pottery.
Cobra (on loan).
Schick Proline P-30 (1).
Fine American Blend Aftershave.
BBA Post Shave Balm.
YSL Rive Gauche Pour Homme.

My goodness, believe the hype! The Cobra is on loan from the remarkably generous Iain aka @Digimonkey. My only decision this morning was choosing which blade to go with after the wide selection of blades sent to me by the equally generous @Acer89. A sublime 2 pass shave was had. So smooth, and so very close, without the slightest touch of irritation. Thanks also to @Boru62 and @Wayne Pritchard for their considered advice. At this point I should also thank my manager, my agent, my stylist.........Have a great weekend gents.
 
Sat 14th October.

Stirling Syn. 26mm
MWF
ER 1914 - 12tooth *
Gem S/S [ 4 ]
Alum Rub/Rinse off
Tuff Green A/S Lotion

Concluded my Vintage SE shaves of the last few days with an ER 1914. Was quite different to yesterdays with a "Streamline", as quite small. Surprising that despite liking longer handles, it
does not feel odd to grip it near the head whilst shaving feels quite natural in fact.

It for me sounds quite noisy during a Shave,and it seems to take a bit more time to get that
close all round Shave. However, today as usual I did without mishap or post shave problems
attain a good close all round finish.

* This late 1914 model has 12 teeth and benefits from more pronounced blade stops, and the handle is smooth hexagonal with fluting which assists the grip.
