Hi @Norfolkdick , I can highly recommend a Feather blade in this razor. If you have not yet tried one & it hasn't been included in your 'mixed selection', PM me & I'll send one over to you.Greetings

Prep: Shower
Razor: Muhle R41 (2013)
Blade: Gillette 7 O'Clock Sharp Edge
Brush: Muhle XL Synthetic
Soap: Tabac
Aftershave: Astral Cream (soft)
EDT: Lapidus Pour Homme
Whilst I am only a moderate fan of DE razors in general I am having a bit of a love affair with this 'New' model R41, it does seem to give me such a super close shave with the minimum of touching up being required.
I am so out of date with the more recent 'in vogue' DE blades that I am trying several different types and have ordered a mixed selection of what appears to be (from these pages) the latest favourites, although there does seem to be an element of fashion in razor blade usage and I do wonder if they are much (if any) better than the popular blades of five or six years ago.
Regards
Dick.

Hint: it's not very hydrating! It's actually marketed as a hair tonic or similar iirc. Chuck in a few dribbles of glycerin and some argan or castor oil and it should make it feel great on skin!YaqI 24mm Tuxedo Marble Handle

A comfortable two pass shave after my post work hot bath.
I really like the Bay Rum soap scent. It's fast becoming my favourite.
I tried the Boots Bay Rum Aftershave for the first time today. The scent is pretty close to that of the soap, as mentioned by @Benz3ne. It doesn't seem to be very hydrating like Proraso and some others but it smells good.
