Apart from a weeper on chin a good shave, aftershave is super.

I must agree, fine platinum aftershave is super.

At first I was sure I was voting for the top one. Then I changed my mind. Then I stared at the darn things for a few minutes and decided I couldn't make up my mind either. [emoji1]

Third Mumbai shave. Think I have one, maybe two more in me before leaving in the wee hours of Monday morning Mumbai time. My favourite photo though so far the lake and skyscape make a great backdrop.

Second shave with the Fatboy and this one was more successful. This razor was on my potential buy list but I think it'll be coming off that list now.

Used the Old Spice fresh lime and to be honest didn't notice a huge difference to the original and again it stung like almighty! Not sure about this stuff to be honest...

P&B tonic once again doing a great job.

Try the street shave before you go.You might not get the chance again.

Haven't found one to do it! The hotel we are in is a little out of the way so shops/street shaves have not been easy to find

Friday 18 November...

Soap - Wickham's 1912 Cashmere
Brush - RazoRock Plissoft 22mm synth.
Face lather
Razor - Ever Ready 'Streamline' SE
Blade - Gem Personna SE #1
Post - Thayer's Rose Petal & Aloe Vera witch hazel, Argan oil
Smell - Penhaligon's Lothair

First outing for my newly acquired latest ER (November 2016 Acquisitions, q.v.).

This is a heavy razor. It outweighs my Merkur 34C HD (79g sans blade) by 5 - 6g. With that in mind, I prepped, set the angle and subscribed to the adage of 'shave the lather, forget the whiskers'. ER and Gem worked really well together; resulting in a wonderfully close, smooth shave. 3 passes. Done.

I can understand why some SE afficionados argue that this represents the pinnacle of vintage SE shavers. It's beautifully built, finished and balanced to let the razor itself do the work. It has that sloping head not dissimilar to the Gem Damaskeene.

This ER deserves quality accompaniments; hence the RazoRock, 1912 Cashmere and Lothair. It also demands care and attention.

My sincerest thanks again @mpf9ret for selling me this treasure. It's found a good home!
