Finally worked out the sweet spot for this soap. I wouldn't normally persevere but it smells amazing.

The Henckels 14 Guillermo Hoppe delivered a beautiful smooth shave, this great looking razor doesn't belong to me It belongs to a fellow forum member and good friend friend Huw, It came in for honing during the week and It's going back out on Tuesday, you could say perks of the Job.

​

Jamie,

Lovely. Roll on Tuesday!

Bic 1 Sensitive
Semogue Mistura
La Toja cream
Mennen Skin Bracer

Superb shave. I prefer this Bic disposable to any other cartridge and disposable razor.

ER 1912 (USA) - Small Handle
GEM PTFE (3)
Palmolive/Erasmic soap mix + Maca Root Cream
Shaving.ie 24 mm Silvertip
Prof. Blighty's Coal Tar Balsam

A very nice shave from this great little razor. The smaller handle makes the 1912 easier to manoeuvre, resulting in an easy BBS.

The Prof's Coal Tar balsam is growing on me as well. The initial application gives a real "hit" of scent that seems a bit strong for me, but it very quickly mellows to an almost addictive aroma. Definitely a "masculine" scent.

Bic 1 Sensitive ...

Superb shave. I prefer this Bic disposable to any other cartridge and disposable razor.

Until I found the Gillette Guard, I would absolutely have agreed. Have you tried one?

Still, 10 for a quid, the Bic 1 is near on impossible to beat.

After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:

ebony brush made by Brian
'Webly'/Sheffield Super Stainless (NOS)
1946-47 Aristo/Filomatic Titanio (NOS)
DR Harris Marlborough SC
Lucky Tiger AS and Face Tonic
Laroche 'Drakkar Noir' EdT (vintage juice)

Started out with the new to me Sheffield (made in the US) blade and it was not bad. Finished last two passes with the already loaded Aristo/Titanio and whew......better. Also revisited DR Harris creams after many years and that stuff is still very nice! One of my favorite creams before I stopped using most of em. This will go into the rotation once again. If y'all like how Cade smells, you will probably enjoy the Marlborough scent a good bit.

BBS results,

Martin

No, not yet! But I've still got so many Mach3 and Sensor cartridges to work my way through that the Guard is a little way off.

For a hurried shave, though, the Bic is spot on.
