SOTD: Saturday 20th January - Friday 26th January 2018.

Yup M. - what you say. I accidentally put a vintage single blade into it instead of the twin I intended when I got it and as is the way with these things it has - so far, 8 or 9 shaves with it - refused to degrade never mind die. I look forward to trying a twin - I think it could only be better than it already is. Which is pretty damn good. A close comfortable shave every time with the Clone - I'm at a loss to understand how you could draw blood with one of these razors. You'd need to be massively clumsy. cheers - I.
I almost feel tempted to bin the current blade early to try a Twin, but will try and excercise restraint

Sunday

Soap - OSP Fougére
Brush - RazoRock BC
Face lather
Razor - Gem MMOC
Blade - Gem SS
Post - Thayer's Rose Petal and Aloe Vera
After shave - Floïd MV

A belter of a Sunday shave. The MMOC is a tremendously efficient razor; leaving me BBS after 3 lovely passes. The OSP delivered its usual protective tallowy goodness; with a great post-shave feel. A splash of the Mentally Vigorous and I'm good to go.

Sunday 21st January

Simpsons Colonel X2L
Wickham 1912 Russian Leather
Merkur Futur
Wilkinson Sword (England old stock) (2)
Lime witch hazel
Lynx Dark Temptation Aftershave

You know when you're using a Futur, it's really lets you know it's working with audible feedback and blade feel.
Two passes to see off a day and a half growth with ease
I still got lather fade in the Colonel despite not shaking so much water out but there was enough lather atop the bristles to get away without reloading.
I don't know what else to try to stop the lather dying in this brush. Any suggestions?
Lynx Dark Temptation to finish and job done.
