Nice retro shave today.
Four shaves in on this twin blade and no sign of dulling. 404 bodger was a bit of a cheeky lather eater on it's first few uses but is coming on song now.

Stirling Gentleman, probably only 1 shave to go before it's empty!
Grandad's Gillette Flare Tip (or whatever it is), recently found and cleaned
Shark blade (my first trial, not bad I'd say)
Yaqui Sagrada
Lavender cologne of unknown origin (my daughter forbade me to use the Gentleman after shave, she calls it "old drawer smell", altohugh I love it!)

Personna 74 (30+ shaves) has tamed my entire Darwin collection, the Darwin Deluxe, the Darwin Adjustable, and two Darwin standards. The Personna 74 is still going strong.

A Lake District travel shave.
I have to be honest I'm not entirely sure which Gillette razor this is. Had a couple left in my washbag from when I travelled with work prior to lockdown 1. It's a twin blade, and to be fair - it provided a reasonable shave. Two passes - WTG and XTG as I normally would with a Tech.
On this break I really just fancied bringing some travel products as opposed to worrying about losing a razor or which soap to choose. I'm a massive fan of Palmer's Cocoa Moisturiser - so finding a dinky travel bottle - there was much rejoicing

Soap • Signature Soaps Coria
Brush • Yaqi 24mm Tuxedo
Razor • Blackland Vector
Blade • Kai Protouch MG (2)
Post • Blue Stratos Aftershave
Vector & Protouch MG blade seem a very good pairing, smooth all the way.
One thing to note - the blade post slots don't allow the blade to just 'drop' in to position, a little guidance is needed to get the blade seated. Once in position it sits evenly.
