After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:

vintage butterscotch Marshall Fields rebranded Simpsons best
Schick M type adjustable/Schick Twin (NOS)
XPEC SC
Myrsol Emulsion
Givenchy 'Xeryus' EdT (old black bottle)

Probably at least the 6th shave on this blade and about done. Two days worth of whiskers still easy whacked away but with a hint of tugging now. Heh, see if I can change razors tomorrow instead of just loading a new blade. Great combo I gotta say.

More now vintage XPEC abuse....screw it! Only so many shaves up my sleeve and why not use whatever the heck I want. Plus finding a little extra makes me talk bolder than I really am most times. Excellent performance and the scent has got my number real good. Post shave thing is right up there.

BBS results,

Martin

Took a reluctant break from the OneBlade today...and used my also recently acquired King Cobra.
It provided a very, very nice shave this morning. Clean and close. It is for sure more aggressive than the OneBlade and I don't feel as if I can completely 'relax' during the shave as there's always a chance it'll bite. But, with some care and attention this is a razor that for sure delivers. I am also becoming a real fan of the handle and see zero reason for me to change it out for something else.

Other stuff used:
Muhle shaving cream - pleasant scent but after having used it 2-3 times now I don't think the performance justifies a purchase in the future (this one was a gift)
eShave brush: Really, really love this handle and the knot is a champ - soft, some backbone and haven't shed a hair
Florida Water: A classic. Always a good finish to my shave
