SOTD : Saturday 24th March - Friday 30th March 2018
- Thread starter SpeedyPC
- Start Date
cream: Muhle Aloe Vera
brush: Zenith 24 mm unbleached pig
blade: Heljestrand 923, 1/4 hollow
Stainless steel scales, guessing it was made for medical use, good shaver but rather heavy. (there is also a 923F sold NOS in a military surplus store, so F probably "Försvaret" as in military hospital use)

How did the cream perform, @Norfolkdick ? I have the original, and think it's marvellous stuff. Finger hovering over the buy button on Amazon

Even though the Zenith's tips were incredibly soft straight out of the box the lather retention is very poor. Hopefully after the fridge treatment for a few days the brush will improve.

Nivea 2 Phase & Crabtree and Evelyn Black Absinthe
A great shave aside from a tiny weeper under my chin, user error. The Mitchells just never fails to perform for me, just show it a damp brush and mountains of lather follow. I did drop my lather bowl into my sink but luckily more than enough in the brush to do several passed more than the three I did.
This cologne has grown on me, the first time I used it I thought it was vile but it's become a favourite although it doesn't get used often, quite potent

I found it very good indeed and personally prefer it to the original on fragrance alone (performance IMHO is identical) I find the sandalwood scent of the original rather sweet.

Jaguar Prestige A/S Lotion
I am really enjoying Shaves with the 1924 since fitting it with this handle, for some strange reason
it Shaves very smoothly without shimming it as I did previously. Basically, a nice comfortable shave
with no fuss/mishaps , and a nice close all round finish too. Found the Soap to be exceptionally good
when doing polishing up work on the Chin, must think about getting some more P & B.
