Superspeed
Personna Lab Blue (blue wrapper)

Fantastic shave ! Smooth as baby's bum !

The brush is a little on the small size and takes some gripping, but it whipped a nice lather. I hadn't tried the Sensitive Balm before which is very nice, nice scent and consistency.

ebony brush by Brian
'Webley'/Schick Plus Platinum (NOS)
J. Peterman 1903 SC
Lucky Tiger AS and Face Tonic
Malizia 'Vetyver' EdT

Been using that roller thing for maybe a week and the shave was really good. Popped a fresh one of these sharp old blades from 1969 into the Webley and jeeeez, it was perfect! Payed little attention to detail......it's just so easy to use this set up. Easy and comfortable, with very pleasant results without even trying. The shaving cream worked well as usual. Great using my go to frankenrazor again, loaded with one of my favorite blades.

BBS results,

Martin
