What an audible shave from this razor! Took one pass to find the right angle with it. A good first shave with it, although I'm surprised how aggressive 1.5 is. One small nick and no irritation.
 
Morning.

Palmolive/Erasmic sticks grated, face lathered
Muhle R41
Gillette Super Thin (2)
Alum, witch hazel
Blue Stratos
50/50 BS and unscented balm mix

4 days growth gone in one pass. What the R41 was made for. Copious amounts of Blue Stratos!!
 
Omega Boar, RSC Creme face lathered
Merker Slant (from Pass Around)
Rapira Swedish Supersteel
What a great shaver this is!
Smooth and irritation free.
I now NEED a slant....
 
The big 'Four-Oh' shave:

Whisker Whacker: Jagger 89L, BiC
'Andle & 'Air: Hand-carved Ash 27mm Boar Brush
Slippy Medium: GFT Coconut Soap
Skin Sealer of Superbness: Barbershop Bay Rum
Lubricating Decotion: Homemade Post Shave Oil with Eucalyptus
Smelly Stuff: Mr Taylor's Cologne

Braw sunny day here in Scotlandshire and my fortieth birthday to boot. Shaved off the beard but left ear-lobe length sideburns and the moustache. Too damn hot for a portly chap like myself to be encumbered by such a hirsute appendage so swish, swish, whack, whack and it's Carmina Burana (Orf). Feels magic but the 'tache is definitely staying this time. Anyhoo, Happy Birthday to me and a large cup of tea.....:D

Man, I shouldn't have used this razor before sending it off to Limeyland. Wanted to double check everything was wonderful and whew, this beauty shaves about perfectly. Knew it from the first downward stroke of the first pass. Hah, idiot sellers remorse.....sheesh. Nah, it's going to someone who will get her wet more often than I would. Jeeez, I hope Toots isn't reading this.

BBS results,

Martin
