Nice blade, I modified the scales slightly, but of course they didn't hold. Took a very nice edge though, but really need new scales now (she's worth it, I think).

Saturday:

Afternoon, gents.

Prep: Claus Port Lime oil face soap
Razor: EJ DE89
Blade: Astra Superior stainless (1)
Brush: Vulfix Grosvenor Bodger
Shave soap: Mitchell's Wool Fat

Even though I've been getting some terrific shaves lately, this was fantastic: smooth, BBS (without seeking it out), and no irritation.
 
This morning:

Pre: Proraso pre/post white
Soap: MWF
Brush: Turkish No6 Horse
Razor: Gillette Aristocrat US Gold
Blade: 7 o'clock yellow (1)
Post: alum & prof Blightys Punchinello balm
Result: Nice, no irritation shave but not too close. First time using this lovely looking razor (thanks again LTB) and it was good with the 7 o'clock yellow but quite mild. Still got a nice shave though.
 
Nuage Men shaving oil
Erasmic cream (new)
EJ pure badger
EJDE89L, Astra Keramik Platinum
Barbershop Bay Rum
RSC balm

1st time with this blade, decent, felt a little tuggy ATG but BBS result.
