Post: Village Barber balm
A brand new blade so, even with the lightest touch and only two passes, I have a bit of irritation and a weeper around my mouth.
Jeebus these things are fierce! However, as I'll get 20+ shaves out of it it's worth the initial pain.

Prep: Hot shower
Pre: S.M.Novella pre-shave
Soap: Barrister & Mann Nocturne
Bowl: Woodhead Pedestal
Brush: MÜHLE Kosmo silvertip synthetic
Razor: ER 1924 SE + templ8 100mm handle
Blade: Gem (7)
After: Aqua Velva Classic AS, Limes Skin Food.
A bit of thought really paid off today.
1st idea - This B&M soap irritates my skin slightly and makes it go red - solution: Use warm instead of hot water.
2nd idea - This 1924 (shovel head) is aggressive. solution: use a blade that's already been used 6 times to take the edge off it and pair the razor with a long handle weighted at the end to take off the head-weight.
3rd idea - The B&M soap provides lots of skin conditioning so just use a light ASB. Limes Skin food did the trick and kept the fruit (apple-lime) theme.
Great shave and really enjoyed myself even though the razor looks a bit like a villain from a Bond film.
Have a good one, folks.

Wade & Butcher Celebrated Rattler, 7/8 Faux Frameback Half Hollow, Barber's Notch
Wade & Butcher Celebrated Rattler, 7/8 Faux Frameback Half Hollow, Barber's Notch
Sometimes I like to shave with very old straight razors and, in particular, with those capable of showing their age. Despite of time and age, they always prove to be excellent straight razors, capable of giving an excellent shave. Just like this Wade & Butcher Celebrated Rattler - still having its original scales - a razor which passed through all of the past century and survived still today. With my joy and proud, of course.

7 O'Clock Black might well be my favourite blade! Sharp, smooth and shaves close without irritation.
