One of my favourite Brush and razor combos there Paul (Weber PH Bulldog +Chubby 2) super pic!
 
Reactions: p.b
Sat 9th April

Stirling Kong
MWF
Ever-Ready/ Gem Push Button
Gem S/S [ 6 ]
Alum Rub/Rinse Off
Jaguar Prestige A/S Lotion

A very nice shaving Razor, an ideal one for someone with a fairly light beard being fairly mild. With the Blade dulling [ for me ] was able to do extra polishing up strokes , without any post shave irritation.

 
After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:

vintage butterscotch Marshall Fields rebranded Simpsons silvertip
'Statan (Stahly head onna UFO Titan handle)'/Feather
Super Smooth Spice Trade SC
Hai Karate 'Oriental Spice' AS (sadly, it's started to turn bad....from early 70s)

BBS results,

The razor was a gift from clients who's father is in dementia care. I had advised them to sell his razors which included 2 straights, a Gillette Aristocrat, Gillette Aristocrat jnr and Gillette Old style. Instead upon conclusion of our business they pitched up with a box of his shaving stuff and a bottle of champaign. Always a pleasant surprise when clients appreciate your efforts above and beyond simply paying my bill

Why , why did it take me all this time to look past the Tabac scent to try the soap?
The lather reminded me of the cream pie fights in old silent movies, really thick and dense. Great stuff.
