Another very enjoyable shave. I seem to get on better with a used blade in this razor at the moment. When I've used it in the past, it's always been with a new blade and It felt a bit harsh in a couple of areas, but not today with a used Rapira blade. Just a lovely smooth BBS with absolutely no irritation at all. Maybe as my technique improves I'll be able to shave with an aggressive blade in this razor but I'm happy sticking new blades in my Classic for their first shave before switching them over the old Gillette.

Another cracking soap from Wickham. It's the second one of theirs I've tried in as many shaves and just like the other one, I like it a lot.

The new brush is performing a treat too. I'm very, very happy with it.

Despite this razor being slightly too aggressive for me most of the time, I had several day's growth so it was just the job to whack the lot off. Hmm, may keep this beastie after all.

WOW WOW WOW. I like this PILS ALOT! So so much more aggressive than the Feather, but still mild enough to whizz about the fizog with little fear of nicks.... I'm sure it would bite though without a little care.. Next to no AS sting and DFS on its first outing.
This may be another razor I need!!!

Heavy handle synthetic
OSP Spice Road - Test soap
ER 1914 w Gem S/S #8
Alum, rinse
Boots Bay Rum
RSC Post Balm

The OSP Spice Road is one fine scent with the perfect OSP performance. I'm sure James will be relieved when testing is finished for commercial release.
The 1914 is a really exquisite shave. Got so close, will have to wait impatiently for the next.
