Gillette Rubie (1)
Gillette #66 Aristocrat
Old Spice AS
First time with the brush,only just came through the door,first silver tip too,first impressions?,NICE!.Bowl lathered like a monster!,and really soft on the face,but still lifted the stubble without a problem.So thanks to @Bechet for putting me on to this brush!.
Didn't do my usual prep,so didn't even try to go BBS,but strangely,the Aristocrat/Rubie combo gave me a superb DFS...
 
EJ DE3D, Shim, Lab Blue
Hand-carved Ash Boar
Arko Stick
M&S Woodspice
Homemade Post Shave Oil

It's been a while since I've used the EJ with a shim and today, I over did it. Great lather but I must have gone overboard with the razor or gotten my technique wrong on my neck as it is blotchy and sore. Back to the Merkur 34HD in a day or two. This one will be going on the BST soon, I think.

The razor or the shim, Graeme?
Click to expand...
What am I bid for a shim? I'll sell the razor as I have a spare EJ head and a lightly dented but functional DE89L handle. Must sell my minted, replated flat bottom English fat handle Tech as well. They should pay for a spare 34HD with change leftover for bicycle parts.

Had a cold for the last 3 days, so there was a fair amount stubble to remove.
James's soap was brilliant, face rubbed and lathered. Excellent performance throughout. 3 pass BBS with ease.
 
After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:

vintage butterscotch rebranded Simpsons best
'Webly'/Gillette Super Stainless (NOS 1991)
Kramperts Acadian Spice SS
Kramperts Acadian Spice AS and more splashed on like cologne

The soap smells excellent and performs very well. Brian does a real nice take on bay rum....plenty of pop to the scent. The aftershave always gives me a slight reaction but not a big deal. Not my favorite when it comes to post shave feel but it shore do smell purty.

BBS results,

Martin

Razor: Schick dial adjustable (M15)
Blade: (NOS) Schick Injector Twin (3)

This brush is getting better and better. Fabulous shave by this NOS twin-blade, may just become my favorite injector blade.
Farewell shave by the Lebelle duo, sold it to a coworker today. Nice 'fall' scent but it dries my skin despite the tallow.

Hot Bath
Wickham's Spice Trade & Barbershop Boar
Star 1912 Contract & Gem Damaskeene (6)
Hot Rinse, Cold Rinse & Alum Wash
Old Spice Original Aftershave
Clubman Greaseless Hair Tonic

Face Lathered
Two Pass - WTG & ATG

I am really getting into this blade now it has mellowed. One down, one up is a lovely routine, and there is a certain rhythm to the shave now. I usually use long strokes, but with this blade, it puts me more in mind of how I shaved with a double edge razor, in shorter strokes which built up its own beat.

I very much enjoyed digging out the Wickham's soap. Good lather, easily built as the bristles massaged my face. Lovely combination of soap and brush.

I say it ever time ...

Old Spice is one hell of a good aftershave! I was feeling so fruity, I even applied hair tonic.
