Soap: Ramblin Man
Razor: Tnnser 3D
Blade: GEM PTFE (1)
Post: Cold Water and Ramblin Man

Remarkably decent shave this morning, I was a little concerned when I was assembling the razor, the top cap seemed a little loose but in actual use it was steady. Took it easy on the first go (new razor of course and a fresh blade) and just went for 2 passes. Decent enough finish and I think with enough practice could be a cracker.

Kudos to the designers on this, I'll give the lather catcher a go when I get around to sticking the head on.

Hope everyone has a grand day!

Cheers

Razor: Bi_Bo Travel Razor
Blade: Gillette Platinum
Brush: Graydog Cocobolo/Synbad
Soap: Ethos Vanilla Safi
AS 1: Humphrey's Alcoholado Maravilla 70
AS 2: Ethos Dragonsbeard Skin Food Splash
Fragrance: Ethos Dragonsbeard EDP
Consecutive Daily Shaves - # 1,065

So here is a razor not in Waits Compendium or anywhere else I can find on the internet but it's an Open Comb for OCtober. If anyone knows anything about this silver plated vintage travel razor, please fill me in. It was a smooth but very efficient shaver. Just a joy to use and have. The Vanilla Safi fit right in and is a generous sample from Pete Patriot who I hope is well. Take care everyone !
