An enjoyable face lather followed by a 1st time use of a Personna Platinum Chrome, this was part of a trial pack from a couple of years back and came in a plain white wrapper so i am not sure which version it is.
It started off a bit prickly although it was doing its job, by the end of the shave it had smoothed out.
3 Passes for a BBS comfortable finish.
Stay safe and enjoy your day All.
 
I wasn't trying to yank anyone's chain. If my overflorid prose, or anything else about the post, was offensive or off-putting, I sincerely apologize.

No, DO NOT apologise for your prose; it is your own and it is not important how you should express yourself to the interests of others but your prose is important in how you express yourself about depression.

I've written about my issues with dealing with depression in a few SOTD and I have no idea whether everyone can share a mindset or be sympathetic towards the sentiments I express, but I'm sure a few do and it's vital that in whatever form such a dialogue is acknowledged.

FWIW, I have found shaving to be beneficial for my state of being.

All the best @I_am_Error

A recent addition to my collection. My very own Wabbit, printed by my son. It has the modified head which can take the round magnets readily available here in the UK.
The shave with the Proline blade was superbly smooth and close.

Soap Phoenix & Beau Spitfire
New Soap...and wow! Unique leathery type of scent. Did not any smell tobacco. Love the leathery scent. Strength around 5/10. Performance was ok...`

This soap on my my wants lists. I'm hoping to get some for my birthday in a month or so time.

Pre - Shower / Face wash
Soap - Tabac
Brush - Razorock
Razor - Merkur 34G
Blade - Wilkinson (5)
Post - Old Spice AS followed with Moisturiser.

As the hours have gone on, the mix of the Tabac soap scent and Old Spice AS is an interesting one. Tabac Is one of the few soaps that does seem to have a feint scent for the rest of the day. It seemed extra strong during todays shave.
 
Tue 27th October

RR S/S 400.SE-Plissoft noir
L`Occitane Cade soap
ER Streamline
Gem S/S [ 2 ]
Jaguar Prestige A/S Lotion

After nearly a week of comparatively laid back Shaves with my AC/SE Razors, I moved onto Vintage SE. A lot more care and concentration required, as these bite if not careful. All went well with my technique and I was rather pleased with the quality of finish attained.

Seal Beach, California Day

Rooney 1/2 Ivory Finest (24/53)
Liz Claiborne Bora Bora shaving cream
Carbon Damascus/R2
Gillette Super Stainless 'Spoiler' (4)
Crabtree & Evelyn Sienna aftershave (vintage)

The cream, which I bought blindly on eBay, turned out to be very watery and refused to make any lather whatsoever. So it is going back to the seller for a refund. I guess I'll never learn my lesson. I had to use some Tabac cream instead.
When I was a kid, my family spend several weeks each summer in a rented beachfront house in Seal Beach, where I could swim and surf and ogle the babes. Just about every Sunday we would go to a local Swedish smorgasbord restaurant for brunch, where they the best dark sweet bread I have ever had.
