Finished the week off with a rather pleasant Shave, I was using my favourite ER 1912 from the Bathroom Set, with its round aluminium handle it is a delight to hold and is very manoeuvrable . It would seem that the head really suits a modern blade, as there is none of the rasping noise attributed to the 1912, and the Combo shaves very smoothly and with ease delivers a most satisfying close all round Shave.

So last shave was with the 38/39 Sheraton and as promised the razor today was the 34/35 A'crat. Soap of the day was RazoRock Nomad which is a favourite of mine, lots of warm spice and woods. Loaded up the A'crat with a fresh Gillette Wilkinson Sword and proceeded to slowly work through three wonderful passes on the way to BBSville! A phenomenal way to start the weekend. I must say that between the Sheraton and the A'crat that the milder of the two is the A'crat but I love them both.
