After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:
vintage Marshall Fields badger
1946-47 Aristocrat/Wilkinson Super Sword (NOS)
Nannys Arabian Nights soft soap
Dr Ci: Labo Aqua-Colagen'-Gel
Aramis 'Havana' EdT (vintage juice)
Well, this blade is now my overall favorite. Yep, after three shaves I've found it to be even better than the Iridium for me. Performed just as well in both the Aristo and my go to Executive. Extremely smooth and very sharp, yet surprisingly forgiving. Heh, this is the reason I like trying new to me vintage blades.
First time ever trying the soft soap that Sharilyn creates, thanks to Mr Otten (my major enabler connection). He was nice enough to send me a number of those soft versions and I can see why her stuff is so popular. Just the right amount of cushion, with plenty of slick built into the mix. Post shave skin care is quite good as well. Very nice product.
BBS results,
