They say there is a first time for everything and todays shave was certainly that.
I have never used the 1912 before or indeed a vintage razor and this was also my first time shaving with an SE Razor.
I have been sitting and admiring the Maseto Brush so today was the day that I wanted to use it for my special shave.
Again the L&L Harmony was a first and one I shall be returning to very quickly.
Anyway to the shave. It is very rarely that I am stuck for words when I want to describe a razors performance but in this instance I truly am. Dare I say it but this is the BEST shave I have ever had. A three pass shave WTG/XTG/ATG with a couple of touch ups has left me Dolphin smooth with no cuts, no weepers, no burns. I am literally blown away by how this razor performed. If you like audibility in your razor then look no further. It shouts down your ear drum with every cut of the whiskers. Superb. These blades are also amazing.
May I take this opportunity to give a big shout out to @Blademonkey for the loan of this razor and the huge quantity of blades he sent me. Through your tuition I am over the moon mate. Why don't they make these anymore. Am I missing a trick? Your support as always, is so much appreciated mate.
Now to the brush, as mentioned another first with me, The brush is silky smooth, did not loose one hair and has good backbone. Face Lathering is made so much easier with these outstandingly priced brushes. A Delight to use.
The L&L produced a thick cushioned silky smooth lather leaving a lovely scent of nag and champa incense that remained well beyond the shave. This is top stuff but if I had any slight criticism then maybe my face was left a little dry.
The BBA Post Balm soon sorted that out.
Finishing off with a couple of squirts of Joop Original I have a beaming smile on my face and the 1912 is now the next razor I will be buying.
Truly Outstanding!
Enjoy your shaves,
Wayne
