Blimey! The lather it whips up with Eucris is quite something ... with a mega-lather cream like that, I presume you invited everyone round for a foam party!

... and get that ... thing ... handle? ... urgh! off that beautiful 1914!!! :D

There was an abundance of lather, so much so that I had to open the window!

That handle gets some of the most use from my DEs and SEs, nice weight, length and a pretty design. I guess it's just too modern for your antiquated taste, Paul ;)
The photo's a bit wacky actually - dust on the sensor, purple haze added post-production and the razor head looks brass and very different colour from the handle but actually they are almost the same colour. Also the blade slipped a bit because the razor fell over during photo setup.
I'm enjoying the 1914 (pictured) you sent me and it tells me it's very happy paired with the Cadet handle. Today it not only sounded like buttering toast but also a bit like a duck call - really.

I see you're have fun with the Junior Bar and its toy handle. I think it feels like you're kind of pulling the razor along instead of holding the handle like a pen - difficult to explain really. I'll take mine for a run tomorrow.

That Omega 98 brush just gets better with use - enjoy.
 
Nanny's vetiver olive oil shaving soap
Vulfix grosvenor
Long comb New
Voskhod Teflon
Floid Black

Haven't used a Voskhod for probably a few years. Quickly got rid of 80% of thirty six hours' growth but had real trouble getting a close finish on my neck.
The smell of Floid Black made up for it!
 
3P
Vulfix 404
AOS Sandalwood Tallow SS
Mongoose
Feather blade (2)
Irisch Moos AS

Second go of the goose was a closer shave but a couple of weepers. No irritation and I think I may have got the angle.

Imperial Tonic with a squirt of Palmolive cream
Damaskeene with a Feather stainless and a GEM back, great on the face but too aggressive on the head

What do you think of the Beaudelaire scent.
I personally like it but not to everyone's taste.

I like the complexity, straight out the tub it's vetiver first and then I get liquorice. Develops throughout to a light berry citrus with vetiver really nice stuff.
