Pre-shave:- None
Bowl/Scuttle:- Vintage Earthenware shaving bowl
Brush:- Badger
Soap/Cream:- Palmolive shave stick
Razor/Blade:- Wilkinson DE Classic and Dorco (3)
Post/After-shave: Cocoa Butter/Lotion
Fragrance:- Lacoste

Shave number 3 with the Wilkinson and a new Dorco blade from Sainsburys.

Shave felt rough, only difference between this shave and shave (2) was that I normally use Argan Oil soap, but didn't today. If this was the reason for the rough shave as opposed to the blade then I am surprised but lesson learned.

Soap - Lea Cream
Brush - Zenith Euro X
Razor - Ball End Tech
Blade - Big Ben SS (1)
Post - Witch Hazel
Balm - Nivea
AS - Brut Oceans

The Big Ben felt incredibly tuggy and there was a fair amount of resistance during the shave, but the results in the end weren't too bad. It's a blade I wish I liked, as the packaging really is superb! Even though I did the same number of passes as I do usually, looking at my face post shave it's clear to see the shave wasn't the closest. No cuts or nicks, but not a great shave today.
FTR, the Big Ben blade felt near enough to a Shark SS.

Another lovely shave with the V2 General. The Feather PB on 10 shaves, albeit most of them have only been 2 passes i will keep going to see if i can see the week out.
2 passes WTG & ATG with some XTG buffing. A fantastic lather from the Outlaw and Arran soap giving me an issue free shave.
Feeling & smelling really good.
This razor is most definitely vying for top spot in my collection.
Have a great afternoon All.
