Used the vie-long stick abroad and loved it but with my hard water at home no where near as good.

Hi Folks

Today's agenda
Proraso Menthol and Eucalyptus pre-shave
OSP Fougère
Semogue 1520
Face lather
Gillette Aristocrat 1946-47
Gillette Nacet #1
Thayer's Rose Petal and Aloe Vera witch hazel
Fine Platinum a/s

First outing for a newly obtained Gillette Aristocrat off the bay (October Acquisitions q.v.). As expected, a mild razor. Imagine the grip and handle of a Fat Handle Tech with TTO and the head of a Superspeed or a Fat Boy. So you get added weight, which is good.

Paired with a Nacet, it gave a great shave; smooth and sharp. Thayer's and Fine to finish off. Lovely.

Sat 15th Oct

Omega 11137 boar
Lea Classic soap
Schick E2
Schick NOS Plat.Swede [3 ]
Lea Classic A/S Lotion

After a mixed bag of DE shaves, was nice to get back to an Injector as guaranteed a trouble free shave.
Today chose the E2 which is fairly new to me. It really is a smooth Razor, but also very effective.
It is so easy to use, that I find that I can shave Against the Grain even in the lower neck regions.
I actually prefer this to the much vaunted Schick Adjustable , even if the latter is equipped with Twin Blades. Shave Rating A+

Greetings Nick

I find exactly the same with the Lea Sticks when I use them in the Canaries in de-salinated water which is super soft, there is no doubt about it that soft water makes the shave a whole lot nicer. I am 99% sure by the way that the Vie Long sticks are re-branded Lea.

Regards
Dick.

Thanks for the info very interesting. The sticks are so convenient when going away so well worth having them in the collection

Sounds like a fine shave you had there, fine soap, a fine blade and a fine razor and Fine platinum a/s! :)
