It's good to know you can get at list one good shave from this blade, I still have the one that came with my Rimei razor, not bad as it's almost free (£1.69 delivered from DX.com at the post xmas sale, a bit more now).

It's stainless steel as well you know!:angel:
 
Wednesday

Semogue 620
Palmolive stick grated into a bowl
Gillette new razor
Lord platinum (3)

Really nice smooth shave this morning, learning about brush have to squeeze out Water after soaking as it takes up so much and load with lots of soap.

Have a good midweek

Wednesday

Morning, everyone.

Prep: Claus Porto's Lime-oil face soap
Razor: EJ DE89
Blade: Astra SP (5)
Brush: Ecotools Kabuki
Shave cream: Erasmic new tube
Aftershave: Caldey Abbey
Cologne: Caldey Abbey

Good result. The Caldey Abbey combo is the only Welsh smellie stuff I've come across. It's terrific, though.
 
Prep- Proraso Crema
Soap- MWF & menthol/glycerine
Razor- Autostrop Valet VC2
Blade- Feather ss [2]
Post- alum

First use of this open comb razor very impressed, gave an effortless dfs after two WTG passes. I over did it with the menthol addition and had tears in my eyes! :icon_eek:
 
After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:

vintage butterscotch rebranded Simpsons best
'Webly'/Perma Sharp Super (NOS)
Xpec SC
Lucky Tiger AS and Face Tonic
Dior 'Eau Sauvage' EdT (vintage juice)

Second time using this UK made blade, sent by Brian (thanks buddy). Nice performance...not quite as sharp as I prefer but still smooth and effective. Reminds me of some of the old Wilkinson versions tried in the past.

BBS results,

Martin
 
Wednesday AM

Merkur OC 11c
Supermax SS (3/3)
A Fido 2201 in Best
Ingram's Cream

Nivea ASB
Drakkar Noir EdeT

Three pass, face lather.

Fantastic shave with my favourite razor (which I understand has now been discontinued, shamefully.) What has happened to Ingram's? It used to be such a pain but this tube lathers copiously...and quite a lot too

Absolutely delighted!
