So beautiful this razor and blade combo, got carried away and got a small nick by corner of my mouth but not a problem.

proraso green tub
aqua velva AS

ive got a few odds and sods blades kicking about so decided to try the 365 blade. wasnt really expecting much from it, but was very pleasantly surprised, a very good smooth comfortable shave, may buy a cheeky 50 of these.
 
After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:

1964 Macys rebranded silvertip flopmeister that's fine with creams
'Webly'/Wilkinson Super Sword (NOS)
Xpec SC....unscented version with Creed Royal Oud added to the small mix with Leatherneck already added before.
Lucky Tiger AS and Face Tonic
Michael Storer 'Monk' EdT (vintage juice)

Man, this cream just will not release the frags I added to liven things up for my nose. Yesterday I even mixed in some Royal Oud (couple-three drops). Now at least there's just a faint pleasant scent when you open the container....heh. No, there's a slight wiff of a good thing in there somewhere during the shave....probably. Weirdest thing.

This particular Super Sword blade is better than most of em. I've tried a number of versions and this is one I perfer. Not quite like the Light Brigade, but still almost as good as my go to blade.

This EdT is pretty crazy. Bought a good sized decant years ago and sometimes it's the perfect frag. Never sniffed anything like it and the reformulation seems to be getting good reviews.

BBS results,

Martin

Shower
Ingram Quality Lather Shave
Pure Badger
RADIO 1912 - GEM Coated [1]
Hot Rinse, Cold Rinse & Alum Wash
Shibden Spice

Face Lathered
Two Pass - WTG & XTG

First go with my new to me RADIO 1912. The slightly longer and slimmer handle made for a change in shave and the blade exposure gave a very mild and smooth shave. I have compared this 1912 against my other 1912s and cannot see an engineering difference, but the blade exposure is less on the RADIO and so ... a milder shave.

Enjoyed.
