Omega 49er
Scottish fine soaps classic,
Acmenso 11/16
Alum,
Thayers witch hazel,

A late shave, a 4 day shave, the 49er is now getting soft at the ends, still with plenty of backbone though, there is something great about taking 4 days of growth off with a straight, muscle memory seems to have kicked in and I am no longer struggling to find the correct position, I still had issues around my chin area, where moving around the curve was more mechanical than I would have liked, I now seem to have stroppers arm, where the hairs going up my arm seem to have gone, in testing if the blade is sharp.

Spending some time with SE razors after an Injector spell. It is quite nice to realise now
that one can pick up a different razor and be certain of getting a good shave. Maybe some of the milder ones require more work to get a real close shave .

The CP provides a very smooth and comfortable shave, which is not only irritation free but is also close all round. I am wondering whether or not the use vintage razors such as these will
decline due the the emergence of so many Modern SE razors ,which use a different form of blade. Currently I am more than happy to go along with my oldies , as I not only enjoy using them but they provide me with nice shaves too.
