First time out with this vintage soap and the 80s Wilkinson Sword.

Switchback brush
Wilkinson Sword Classic razor
Vintage Wilkinson blade

Great shave, both the razor and soap feel like keepers. The only problem with vintage Wilko blades is that I have to go back to using others...

Though the blade reaching its end of life [ for me ], got the usual comfortable close shave from this Razor.

SOTD
Hot Towel, Phoenix & Beau Sanskrit, Body Shop Synthetic Brush, Merkur 39C, Astra SS (5), Cold Towel

First shave with Sanskrit, and I am pleased to say it is another top quality product from P&B. The scent is wonderful, spicy and exotic, with each breath through your nose bringing something different to the senses. Cardamom is dominant, clove follows close behind, the warmth of sandalwood comes through to surprise you. When I was done with the shave, I found the black pepper came through as a parting gift. Performance beyond compare yet again, with a post shave finish to put even skin foods, balms and creams to utter shame.

Prep: Hot face towel
Bowl: Cheap and cheerless SS bowl (plenty of 'High Side Clanging', thanks tomj777 ;))
Brush: Kent Infinity synthetic
Cream: Simpsons unscented (yet again)
Razor: Muhle R41
Blade: Gillette 7 O'Clock SharpEdge yellows
Post: Cold water

Haven't used the R41 for a few days and forgotten how aggressive it is. Nice though. Not a great shave today, sadly. Didn't get to BBS with two passes so went full potato with a third ATG pass. Still a bit patchy. No nicks as usual, which is nice. Really not liking these 'yellows' this time around either. Also, been finding that the Simpsons drys out quite quickly, so added a bit more water today. Too much I think; Lovely lather but a bit thin and insubstantial. Never mind, tomorrow's shave will be better :)
