A very nice three pass shave. Unusually for me I reached for the alum post-shave, I stopped using it because I didn't like the way it made my face feel, its use this morning reminded me that indeed I don't like it. Worth trying out agin though. Nothing ventured, nothing gained.
Razor: Standard Razors black model. Blade: Gillette Silver Blue (1). Brush: Simpson's TSN LE P8. Pre: Myrsol Emulsion. Cream: D. R. Harris Windsor. Aftershave: D. R. Harris Windsor. Aftershave balm: D. R. Harris Windsor. EdT: D. R. Harris Windsor.
I swirled the cream with my brush and I can see the bottom of the tub, I'm not sure if that is a good or a bad thing. The Standard Razors razor is quite mild but very good, it's a shame they've made it ultimately not very standard and a nice after market handle is out of the question. The handle uses an M3.5 or M4 male thread or maybe the imperial equivalent, giving that the company is American.

Brush: Muhle krona synthetic

Good shave but first time I have had any weepers, maybe too aggressive with 2 shims.
Back to Merkur 1904 I think will try with 1 shim later.

Excellent shave. The Salter cream is really excellent, great lather and glide and skin feels excellent afterwards. Great finish from the Aqua Velva as well.
