Blade: Gillette Silver Blue #1
Brush: Neep 26x48 Stone Extra Silvertip
Soap: Lea Stick
Post: Proraso Menthol Post Cream
AS: Proraso Splash

OMG Blood Bath! after lathering up i forgot i had a spot on my neck by my right ear. I can confirm the blade is nice and sharp as it took it right out, bloody every where - Nix Stick sorted that out, it took a while for the bloody to stop leaking out my neck though.

1st time using an Old Type OC razor, it shaves very nicely, not as agressive as my normal FaTip/Weber combo but still an efficient razor, quite a light razor.

1st time using that blade, nice and sharp for shave one (see blood bath above)

over all a very nice 2 pass cold water face lather shave!

Prep: bath
Razor: 1920's Seven o'clock OC head on Weber Bulldog handle
Blade: Personna Med Prep
Brush: Simpsons Commodore X2
Cream: Penhaligon Endymion
Post: Neal's Yard After Shave Balm and Stevie's Bay Rum
Cologne: T&H Trafalgar

First shave with a vintage OC, and whilst I did the first pass with the original handle, I found it too light and without enough grip, so I switched to the Weber handle. Loved it. So close, and apart from a few weepers it was a fantastic shave. Was frightened of the OC after the Muhle R41 experience, so very pleased this was different.
