Gem OCMM
Gem S/S [ 4 ]

Super lather with this Soap/Brush combination . Glad Norfolk Dick introduced me to this soap , very pleasant clean smelling scent.
Needless to say, the OCMM provided a smooth and comfortable shave, with a great finish.

Supermax Triple action cream
Vulfix Synthetic
'50s thin-handled Gillette Tech
Lord Super Stainless Extra [2]
Floid Blue A/S
Vegetable glycerine as balm

Not sure whether it was the blade or soap, but a bit of a catchy, snaggy shave especially around the chin, leaving some roughness. Will try the Tech with something sharper next time.

The cream isn't the slickest and I found to dry and flake quite easily.

I just had a the most wonderful shave of my life with my Schick adjustable & NOS Personna Twin blades...This is my 4th ...Three pass shave on these blades & I cant feel them dropping off...I have heard it said that Twin blades are going down the Cartridge path...These Twin blades for folks that are not familiar with them are nothing like a Cartridge System...These blades are not spaced apart like a Cartridge Razor....They are literally Two Blades "Wedged Together" and or sand waged one on top of the other...Dolphin Smooth, Refreshed & Ready for a Pint at the Local Boozer..:D
