Ended a week of Adjustables !! An Injector this time.
Stirling Synthetic
OSP Bay Rum
Schick Type M Adjustable
Personna S/S [ 1 ]
Alum Rub / Aqua Velva A/S

As razor empty, advised by " Fergie Billy " to load with a single blade. Having done that , decided to try it out this a.m. Decided on a medium setting of 4 , and found it more aggressive than L1/ J3, and more refined than a G8. Overall was an enjoyable shave, and got a more than acceptable finish. Look forward to trying out a Twin blade ,which is supposed to really work well.

Prep: Hot shower
Pre: Murdock Avalon oil
Soap: NSS - Cedarwood & Vetyver - hard (SAW)
Bowl: Woodhead Pedestal
Brush: Muhle 23mm Kosmo synthetic
Razor: Weber + Bulldog handle
Blade: Rapira Swedish SS (1)
After: WH, Pinaud Clubman AS, Clinique Post-shave Soother ASB

Another luscious lather from Nanny's. It's been a great week using this NSS soap all week. In fact I think I'll continue tomorrow instead of anything-can-happen-Saturday, which I was using as a break between SAW weeks.

For some reason the Weber doesn't seem to perform at its best with a Rapira Swedish Supersteel blade; I've experienced this before, maybe a bad blade batch. It just felt a bit scratchy. Anyhow no irritation and finished with a DFS.
The Clinique ASB seems to balance the soap's slightly drying effect very well.

Have a great weekend, folks.
