S.O.T.D. Saturday 18th Febuary to Friday 24th Febuary 2017

Fri 24th Feb
Vulfix 404 mixed
Lea Classic soap
Ever Ready "Streamline"
Gem S/S [ 6 ]
Alum Rub/Rinse Off
Lea Classic A/S Lotion

Today , I was very keen to try out my bargain "Streamline " , which arrived yesterday. This one was nice and shiny,
with no brassing so thought what a bargain. However,after a couple of strokes felt pricking on one side, and to my
dismay found the blade had shifted, as cap of blade stop had partially disappeared.

Being somewhat stubborn I reset the Blade, and continued the shave slowly and with care. I am pleased to say that
I survived with no blood spilt, and attained the usual Superior Streamline shave, that I have got used to. Well it will make an interesting paper weight, or might use the handle on a 1924.

I did contact the Vendor who was not into Razors, she was pleased no blood shed and already has given me a nice refund. Well the seized up Gillette is going to a new Home, and the PAL I also got in the multi buy is lovely.

Pre Shave: Hot Shower, Bulldog Face Wash and Proraso Red
Razor: Fatip Piccolo
Blade: Rapira Platinum Lux (#2)
Brush: Hans Baier Silver Tip
Cream: Proraso Blue
Post: Alum Block, Cold water and Thayers unscented

Another great shave today, the Fatip delivers as usual, the Rapira Platinum Lux blade is very good, maybe not the very best but good enough to buy more of them, they look a good price too.
 
Nice set up.
