Meissner TremonIa Exotic Elimi
YaqI Chianti 24mm Synthetic
Rockwell 6C plate 4
PolSilver SI (2)
Pinaud Clubman Original ASL

Three days growth removed with ease in two passes.
For me, Meissner soaps perform well - creamy protective lather every time.
I find Pinaud Original smells a little plasticy when first applied, but it soon passes. I'll keep an eye out for a bottle to decant it in to, to see if it makes any difference. (Recommendations welcome)!
 
1949-52 Gillette Aristocrat Junior (#51 or #53) no case with it so I can't say for sure.
Rocky Mountain Barber Company - Best Badger.
TFS - Corte Sabauda 70th Anniversary Soap with the matching splash.
Personna Blue (2)

3 slow and wonderful passes and BBS. I love the A'crat Jr and this one is in impeccable condition. Love the flat bottom and if I am correct, the head is modelled after the #16? I can see why they are revered.144B53CA-620A-4874-8138-76565315B1CF.jpeg

The Cella soap performed superbly, every time i shave with this soap it's fragrance reminds me of'Mr kipling's cherry bakewell tarts'.I was starting to run low,having a great fondness for cherry/almond /Marzipan fragrance soaps i placed a order with the big fella with the white beard for another tub, as a christmas pressie to myself along with two la toja shave sticks. a 150 ml bottle of La toja 'Classic' aftershave lotion & some Serbian Palmira soap,another soap i've been wanting to try for a while after reading some excellent reviews on it..so i'll be having some Cherry -almond-marzipan fragranced christmas holidays shaves, which i look forward to immensely...All will be arriving sometime later today'hopefully'which will be gift wrapped instantly & opened on christmas day,and tried out over the christmas holidays...Happy Days!!!.

Finishing the shave off with a few dollops of Nivea Men Creme.

My face is feeling smooth, & smelling devine.

It never ceases to amaze me just how talented some forum members are.
@Steven_Jagger not only worked out that the thread of the Gibbs handle wasn't a modern readily available one but managed to lay his hands on the appropriate tool and threaded the brass insert himself.
He then turned this beautiful handle to match the equally beautiful brush.
Steven, consider my hat well and truly doffed.
