Great shave but not sure about the smell of the Balsamica. Smells like glue to me.

Greetings
Friday 18th April 2014 (Good Friday)
Prep: Shower
Razor: Schick L1
Blade: Gillette Twinjector NOS
Brush: Semogue 1800 Boar
Soap: Speick Stick grated
Aftershave: Astral Cream (light)
EDT: Terre D'Hermes
A perfect shave from these fascinating blades, they shave wonderfully but are hugely unforgiving, the reason I only use them in my very mildest injector.
Regards
Dick.

Prep: Hot shower, Dove Men+Care Sensitive Face Wash
Brush: Morris & Forndran Blonde Badger Beehive
Soap: Tabac stick grated into a bowl
Razor: Gem Micromatic OC
Blade: Gem Blue Star #3
Post: Lucky Tiger After Shave & Face Tonic, TOBS Sensitive After Shave
Result: Final outing for this team. The M&F is a superb brush - soft tips, dense, great backbone. Truly delighted with that purchase. Enjoyed my Micromatic too and the carbon steel blades were wonderful.
Kind regards,
Jon

I have never had such a smooth and close shave , so enjoyable using a single edge razor , the shave for me surpassed any I have had from any DE or my Cobra , it had "soul" to it as well .

DR Harris Pink aftershave
Been in Africa for a week and didn't shave once (the tap water is strongly saline). Needed something with a big bite to clear a whole week's beard growth, couldn't be arsed with pre clipping. I think this is the only razor that will tackle that, first use in months and a great result.
