Gillette Gold Tech with a BIC Chrome Platinum Blade
Alum and Rinse

I bought the MWF dish years ago but transferred the soap to a stainless container as I travelled a lot at the time. The ceramic dish was put into storage an rediscovered 2 nights ago along with my Gold Tech (which I had completely forgotten about).

Three passes with a touchup for a wonderful shave:)

Noble Otter The Trail ~ 400 ~ Mulcuto ~ Erbe (shimmed) ~ Lilac Vegetal

Do you ever have one of those days... Where everything goes right? (Didn't expect that did you?) ;)

Phenomenal shave, first of all I decided to polish out that nasty Razorock logo on the brush... Much better.

Secondly, thought I'd try shimming the Mulcuto, what a difference! Exactly the same super smooth shave but with added efficiency, it went from Feather Popular to Gillette Tech, perfect

Third, I got the water ratio just right on the Noble Otter, massive difference in slickness... This soap is the mutts nuts.

Fourth, "the Veg" had it's first proper use, I'd deliberately not worn or mentioned it as it's such a divisive scent (just a little dab when I was alone.) Anyway, splashed it on and walked in the the other room... I'd been in there about 3 seconds when SWMBO says "what's that smell?" Ugh here we go I thought... "Just some dodgy aftershave" I reply in a poor attempt to distance myself from owning the smell :blush: "I love it!" she says... Frigging heck I wasn't expecting that :eek:

Had a poor shave yesterday with a Supply SE, so decided to go for a Gem Shave.I chose a Streamline which always works with a fresh blade.I like this Razor which responds well to a light touch,and by not rushing I got a super finish.Really in terms of finish equals the best I get with an AC/SE.
