S.O.T.D. w/c Saturday 25th - Friday 31st January 2014, incl.

I was hanging off shaving to see if the postman would bring an M&F brush, he didn't but he did bring some Aleppo soap.

Blade: Vintage Scottish Perma-Sharp (1).
Brush: Simpson's TSN LE P8.
Pre: Face wash with Aleppo soap.

I felt a little naughty using the 66, I looks as if it's the first time it has seen water, sorry Steve, I couldn't resist! My first impression of it is that I may have to go and find a user grade version for use. :blush: A very nice shave.
 
After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:

vintage butterscotch rebranded Simpsons best
'Webly'/Feather
J Peterman 1903 SC
Neutrogena oil free moisture
no EdT for some reason

Great shave as usual with this classy cream. Been in the rotation for 3-4 years and performs pretty much like a soap (high praise). This razor/blade combo is excellent. Nice being able to use the Feather in a comfortable and no drama way.

BBS results,

Martin
