After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:
ebony brush by Brian
1956 Diplomat/Filomatic Titanio (NOS...Thanks Good Doctor)
RL Safari SS
Lucky Tiger AS and Face Tonic
RL 'Safari' EdT (vintage juice)
Had a Diplomat in the rotation for years. Also use a President and Aristocrat.....all three shave about the same (when you get a good one). One of my favorite fixed head designs.
This old blade almost felt too sharp at first in this razor, but settled right in by the third pass. Heh, I wanted to try another one of these things, after the good luck with the first one. Very nice.
Man, I have a smoother than usual face today. Strange in a good way.
BBS results,
Martin
