Prep: Valobra Glycerlanolina soap, Myrsol Emulsion
Brush: M&F / Brad Forbes Finest Badger
Soap: Haslinger Honig (tallow)
Razor: Merkur Futur (2)
Blade: Vintage NOS Personna Super Platinum Chrome (2)
Post: Thayers Cucumber Witch Hazel / Myrsol Emulsion
Scent: APR Ozymandias
A glorious lather was whipped up by the M&F brush, enhanced by the warm, comforting scent from the Haslinger soap.
I have shaved with most of the big hitters of the vintage blade club, and I must say that the Personna Super Platinum Chrome is up there with the very best. From my research, I conclude that this blade is the last of the the P74 line. From my shaving experience, it may also be the pinnacle of that line. Three stellar passes, and a few buffs courtesy of the excellent residual slickness of the soap, and I am BBS and grinning.
Good name for an after shave Tom - presumably a reference to the Shelley poem?
And on the pedestal these words appear:
'My name is Ozymandias, king of kings;
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!'
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.
Cheers - I.
