Tuesday 24th December 2013 Christmas Eve
Prep: Shower
Razor: GEM OCMM
Blade: GEM Blue Star Carbon
Brush: Semogue 2012 SE Mixed
Soap: Speick Stick grated
Aftershave: Astral Cream (light)

As near to perfect as you can get. There is (IMHO) nothing that I have tried; DE SE or Injector, that shaves quite as well as the OCMM.

Regards
Dick.

Great shave.
Like the Sputnik blades a lot.
The Nanny's performs very well, face lathers really good with the Duke 2 Pure, but there's almost no smell from it and whatever smell there is doesn't smell like sandalwood.
