Thank you for all your kind words Groot and I think you said it all. And indeed it was one wonderfully smooth shave and smoother than you.

Paddington is my favourite bear, I was born in St Mary's hospital in Paddington and although you won't see it in any of his wonderful tales he paid me a visit shortly after my birth and said hello :) P.

Soap - Palmolive Cream
Brush - Yaqi Fan Tux Mysterious Space
Razor - Sportsman Tech
Blade - Gillette Super Platinum 7OC
Post - Witch Hazel/Nivea Cooling
AS - Benjamin's Bay Rum Mentholated

Didn't use enough cream with too much water and the lather was on the thin side of things, added to losing concentration I ended up nicking the side of my lower lip and it didn't stop bleeding despite using the alum block several times. I really should get around to finding a better solution to picking up cuts than using an alum block, maybe some styptic matches? Not a great shave today but they happen from time to time!

Paddington Bear is with us all, for he is omnipresent.

In times of crisis reach for a marmalade sandwich (a lunchbox is sufficient if you are not able to keep one under your hat) and the world will once again be fine.

For his is the glory, Paddington Bear.

Amen.

Phoenix and Beau Whitechapel
RazoRock BC Silvertip 24mm synth
Face lather
Gillette New No.88 set (1934)
Gillette Silver Blue
Thayer's Rose Petal and Aloe Vera
Proraso Sandalwood after shave

I would normally have waited until this evening for my shave; but I was keen to try out my newly acquired Gillette No.88.

It is a very smooth, efficient operator indeed. Surprisingly hefty; so another one to let it take the weight. Very happy with this, as I got it off the bay for a fair price, where similar ones were/are going for £100-200.
