Elite Razor Chubby 2 Amber Manchurian White (26/50)
Penhaligon's Lords shaving cream (vintage)
Paradigm II Titanium
Personna Super Platinum Chrome (3)
Penhaligon's Lords aftershave (vintage)

A great shave. The brush has moderate backbone and very soft tips, much like some of the Paladin brushes. Its amber handle is very dense, almost like stone. The blade is broken in and smooth, and the razor is efficient but forgiving.

Rather pleased with todays Shave, having taken forever to get on terms with the Supply the Shave today was probably the best so far. I am sure that it was helped along by the Vitos lather , as the Shave was very smooth and comfortable. I am quite surprised at the fact that this quality yet inexpensive soap seems to have fallen out of favour .

Decided to switch it up and reached for the Single Ring Clone. The razor has no markings on it but closely resembles clones of German origin. Thin cap with a lot of blade reveal but a fantastic shaver! Lathered up with Fine Italian Citrus and on a snowy day in February it was just the ticket. Followed up with the matching AS and a DFS 2 passer, done and dusted. Happy Monday!

Valentines Day shave. Reached for the Merkur 45 and loaded it up with a fresh Personna Lab Blue. Though this razor is light weight it is an awesome shaver. Given its red and black colour scheme I thought it quite appropriate for today. Lathered up with TOBS Sandalwood, finished off with some Sandalwood balm and some Guerlain Santal Royal...perfect. BBS 3 pass shave.

My face has that Friday feeling.
Happy Shaving one and all.
Hi Kevin,
There was me thinking how Vitos was being neglected, and it appears we both used it today. I find that it may not have the scent of other expensive soaps, but the Lather is so good.
