Anniversary shave for the ASR 1492246 1924 Patent which I believe is something around the blade holding mechanism that came in with the Valet VB series.

Hot Towel
NuAge Men PSO
Ingram's Shaving Cream
Pure Badger
ASR Valet VB1 - Feather Hi-Stainless [1]
Hot Rinse, Cold Rinse & Alum Wash
Ogallala Bay Rum - Limes & Peppercorns

Bowl Lathered
Two Pass - WTG & XTG

What a wonderfully smooth shave! The VB1 gives a light shave in my hands, the Feather simply granting it a ruthless efficiency and so a light touch leaves a close shave with absolutely no irritation, evident in the alum wash.

Talk about fire and ice! Or ice and fire, whichever way around you read it ...

The NuAge sets it up, the Ingram's keeps it chilly, practically freezing with the cold rinse and then the fire from hot peppercorns. What a buzz! I thought it pertinent to place the razor on a piece of pumice I picked up in Iceland, the island of fire and ice.

After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:

vintage butterscotch rebranded Simpsons best
1958 Executive/Personna74 (NOS)
RL Safari SS
Lucky Tiger AS and Face Tonic
RL 'Safari' EdT (old juice)

Great shave.......a favorite brush and razor/blade combo and a favorite soap....followed by a favorite EdT. What's not to like?

BBS results,

Martin

Repeat from yesterday. Silky smooth 3-pass BBS...again. This blade is very smooth and well matched to this razor. It's lasted 5 days so far and the shave profile hasn't changed a bit. I wonder how long it'll last?
