Great picture, lovely razor and I couldn't agree more regarding the Extro bay RumSaturday afternoon
Thiers 6/8.
Homemade pre-shave, peppermint & cedarwood.
P&B Star Noir.
Alum/cold rinse.
Extro Bay Rum.
A surprisingly good shave after minimal prep. I took my time and shallowed my angle. I'd say I'm 95% there with this one... I could be smoother in places with touch-ups but didn't want to risk it. I'm pretty smooth and irritation free. The alum barely bit me today, contrary to my last shave. This fine, sharp razor made things easy for me today. This Extro BR is phenomenal stuff. It doesn't sting at all, feels gorgeous going on and keeps my skin supple/soft/smooth. I've heard nothing but good things about it!
It is a beautiful day here in South Wales and this beautiful shave just added to today.
Happy weekend, chaps and chapettes.
It was a NOS beauty from @Fergiebilly and she's as clean as the day she was made! Thanks for the kind words! I hope you've made the most of it, sun doesn't tend to last long here in the UkGreat picture, lovely razor and I couldn't agree more regarding the Extro bay Rumsun is shining in Cornwall too!
Wow, that is looking sweet! I'm pleased you have got it into a shave ready condition and are now enjoying it.

Stirling hit a serious home run bringing this soap back in mutton tallow. It is as slick a soap as exists.
This little razor honed up to be wicked sharp, and gave me one of the best shaves I have had since I started straight shaving. Thank you, @Blademonkey ! [emoji1]
Even better with a Twin, but personally then find it too clinical so my Razor does not get much love,as i prefer the PAL adjustable.Saturday 25th March 2017View attachment 24307

An absolutely fantastic shave today. This is the first time I have used the Schick Adjustable (thanks @merwtje ) and I am really impressed, I decided to stick a Personna blade in first as the razor did not have a blade fitted when I got it, so I figured if the blade ran across the stops or I messed up the first blade it was only a Personna that I was wasting, I prefer the Schick blades (Chinese and Japanese) I have tried in other razors so far. Well the blade went in OK so I thought I should at least try a shave with it, absolutely amazed with the result. I set the razor to 3 for a first outing and I have to say it did feel mild, but what a close and smooth result. I really like this razor, it has the switch to protect the blade as well so will make a great travel razor too. Will be trying this razor out on a higher setting next time, but the result set to 3 was perfect.
I must admit out of the two I have the Pal adjustable wins hands down, however I'm not letting my Schick adjustable goEven better with a Twin, but personally then find it too clinical so my Razor does not get much love,as i prefer the PAL adjustable.
