Toady i tried a lathering technique i saw on @jayaruh (Jim) shave video. I basically rubbed the puck on my face and then built up the lather on my face using the little Duke 2 Best, it worked quite well, i had enough for the 2 passes and a bit buffing required for a BBS, comfortable finish.
Very pleased about that effort.
Feeling and smelling good.
Stay safe and enjoy your day All.

Simpson Milk Churn - Le Pt'I Meusien - Gillette Injector - Agua Lavande Puig

Not sure which blade I used today. The injector key holds a mix of other blades rescued from broken containers so it could be either a Personna or a Proline B.
This is my first use of the Gillette injector.It looks very like the original Gillette twin blade cartridge razor....so I may have seen them but not recognised them for what they were.
A mild but efficient razor giving a 'Face Feeler' in 3 passes

I was doing that with a TOBS soap I had which I was struggling to lather, worked a treat. Seems fine now lathering off the puck. I'm going to check out that shave video you mention.

Pre - face wash
Cream - TOBS Mr Taylor
Brush - Traditional Shave Co Brush
Razor - Gillette Tech
Blade - Feather (3)
Post - Alum followed by moisturiser

Just an OK shave. I'm not enjoying using the Tech. I get some feedback with the alum using this as well, I'll try another blade before the razor is confined to the bottom of the drawer again.

Cream Omega Eucalyptus
Bowl Red Nubs
Brush Yaqi 28mm Synthetic
Razor Yaqi DOC Mellon
Blade Silver Star 3rd
Post & Aftershave
Ice Water + Special Thayers Mix
Old Spice Lime + Cella Balm
Super nice lather. Creamily thick and slick. Nice eucalyptus scent too. Shave with razor and blade was good. Smooth and sharpish for 3 multiple passes but not as efficient compare to yesterday. No issues though, which is the primary objective. Between DFS to BBS with rating of 8.8/10

Williams Wednesday- 27th May.

Simpson Chubby 1 /Maggards 2band
Williams Mug soap
ER 1912 ex Bathroom set
Gem S/S [ 7 ]
Jaguar Prestige A/S Lotion

This 1912 is one of the Vintage SEs that provides me with a decent Shave, some like the Natural Angle [ E-Bar ] though nice to use are just too mild for me. Todays Shave finishwas not bad , though a blade change is indicated as being on the cards no problems during/post Shave occurred.
