Taming blade for Birthday of 1914 tomorrow ! 1914 now loaded to go.

I like the weight of this razor, which seems to give me as near to BBS, as I will ever get.
Perplexed, that it is not to well liked by some fellow SE shavers.

I think it's just that the Streamline is just so expensive a razor compared to other SE razors that it doesn't show up very often in SOTDs. It's a bit like the Fatboy of the SE world.

Fantastic shave! I've been using my Weber exclusively since acquiring it back in January but fancied a change today and used the DE89. Paired with a GSB I ended up with the most comfortable shave I've had for a long time. Watch out Weber!

another smooth outing for this set-up. Another Polish aftershave, less well known than Wars but much better performance and a great scent that matches the JF

It's easy to forget how good the EJ89 actually is.
 
Kent Infinity
Arko stick (pressed into tub)
Face lathered
Schick Platinum/Personna Lab Blue (3)
3 Pass
Witch Hazel > Nivea sensitive balm > Jazz EDT

First use of the Schick, great audible feedback and very smooth with the Personna.
Great slick from the Arko.

Prep - Shower / Woods Of Windsor Cedar Woods soap / Pre-lather / 3 min steam towel
Razor - Gillette Fatboy @7
Blade - Perma-Sharp Super (#3)
Brush - Omega 20106
Soap - Arko / Rosemary & Lavender EO's
After - Frozen towel / Alum & WH mix
Result - BBS

The Perma-Sharps continue their sterling work. Probably the best shave I've had with the Fatboy, so smooth and effortless. These are definitely staying in my rotation from now on. The St.Petersburg plant certainly knows how to make very sharp and very comfortable blades.

Used my Gillette Black Beauty for the first time today.

It was a great shave - I really, really like that longer handle.

One thing that struck me though was that I started out with the razor set to '7' and that didn't feel very aggressive so I maxed it out to '9' right away.
The shave went really well and I ended up with a great, smooth face - but I can't help but to think that a '9' on the Black Beauty is like a '6' or '7' on a Slim.

Have I been away from the Gillette adjustables for too long or have anyone else noticed something similar?

Razor: Gillette Black Beauty, gold plating
Blade: Rapira
Brush: SOC Boar
