+ 1 on the Proraso Sandalwood duo..As i only started DE shaving in April 2016,this set up is a wonder..i find the Gillette Aluminium Tech (England) a wonderful little razor which i would be quite happy to have has a desert island set up, on a equal par with my Tabac soap & aftershave..superb set up mate, what more could a DE shaver ask for..sublime.Regards.Wednesday 4th Jan.
Soap - Proraso Sandalwood
Brush - RazoRock Plissoft Disrupter 22mm
Face lather
Razor - 1968 Gillette Aluminium Tech (England)
Blade - Astra SP
Post - Thayer's and Proraso Sandalwood a/s
I'm sure I'm not alone when I argue that anyone dipping their toe into DE shaving could do a lot worse than getting hold of a vintage Tech. Marry it up with an efficient blade, and you're set.
The Proraso soap lathers up a treat and, combined with the splash, gives a good post-shave feel.

Am finding that to get a really close all round finish with this Razor/Blade combo , I need to concentrate on those extra polishing passes. I actually enjoyed yesterday's shave with a Schick N3 a bit more , and there was no significant difference in the quality of the finished shave.
+ 1 on the Alcolado Glacial..that'll get the old face sensors kicking!Wednesday 4th
Zenith 507 TS Synthetic
OSP Rosemary & Peppermint
Rocnel MD SE-P
½ Voskhod #3
Alum > Rinse > Alcolado Glacial
Neutrogena Comfort Balm
Continuing with the Rocnel. This shave told me that the ½ Voskhod will not go over 3 shaves. The OSP Rosemary & Peppermint scent is really nice and lasts all through the 3 pass. The brush continues to impress.
Hope your shaves go well!
I sometimes need it to get the old face working+ 1 on the Alcolado Glacial..that'll get the old face sensors kicking!...wonderful stuff!
