Hi Russ is this the new addition Puma ?
Wed 28th April.
The Grosvenor / 404-mixed
P & B Pall Mall
Gem Micromatic
Schick S/S Twin - Japan [ 9 ]
Floid Vigoroso A/S Lotion
Gem meets Schick !!
I was due to start an Injector/Twin blade rotation today. But having read of a chap using a Twin in a Micromatic I thought why not try it myself , as previously I had done it with a single and had good Shaves.
Today I used a blade ejected from my Schick I1, as I had reloaded that with a fresh blade and had it on standby if things went wrong. I made sure the blade was hard against the stops and locked it securely in place. The Schick I1 was not needed as The MM was very smooth and comfortable.and I had no problems getting a Top Notch close all round finish.

It is Jay , first outing , it is a strange razor edge looks and feels like it should shave lovely , but the shave was very underwhelming. I will pop it on the Aiiwantani and see if i can crisp it up a bit.

Post: proraso ASL
Been a while since I’ve used blackbird again - so decided to give it a few outings. Love this little razor - has the right weight and side to it for me. Paired it with super shave x blade which did perform well - it was smooth and sharp on its first outing - looking forward to the second one.
DFS+ achieved in 3 passes, with one tiny weeper where I’ve nicked a spot (again! ) .
Face is smooth and refreshed.
Enjoy your day Gentlemen!

Pre: Shower, Pears Transparent Original Cold water Face wash
Brush: Vintage Vulfix service #3 1950's
Soap: Hampshire Wool Fat
Razor: Pass-around Fatboy E1
Blade: Personna Med Prep (5)
Post shave: Cold water splash ,TC's Infused Witch Hazel
Balm: Tonyschin's Cedarwood and Patchouli Aragn Oil and Balm
Aftershave: OSP Orange and Patchouli
Well that was a pleasant surprise!
First time using a Fatboy and it was a really nice experience, he is a really friendly fellow, the shave started with a nicely scented lather from the HWF, is still only get Patchouli with Cedarwood in the background, i really like it.
I fitted a 4 shave Med Prep and set the razor to #6.
The first pass WTG surprised me as it was smooth, efficient and a pretty mild shaving experience, i was not expecting that, for the XTG pass i opened the razor up #7, the gap is now visibly noticeable, the pass went well, although, i started to get a bit blade feel, nothing to worry about and at no time did it feel as if it was going to bite, i then backed the razor off to #6 to complete the ATG pass, i think that i would settle on #6 as the daily driver.
This blade is showing no signs of giving up the ghost soon.
A nice post shave finishing off with the OSP splash leaving me BBS, comfortable and smelling very nice.
Stay safe and enjoy your day all.

The A&E soap has taken its toll on my skin. Today I needed some good natural products to help the recovery. MdC and Signature Soaps to the rescue.

The little Yaqi Katana was my last year found wonder!..And you're right, it gives a close shave as an Muhle R41...Superb.

Hi @motto - How is the head? It looks like a classic Mühle R89 head, but a little difficult to see in your picture.
Nice handle by the way
Sounds like “Thunderbirds are go!”
