After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:
vintage Marshall Fields badger
Bouhin-Stahly frankenrazor/ Schick Plus Platinum (NOS)
Surrey SS (pre VDH reformulation)
Barbershop Bay Rum AS
St Johns Bay Rum cologne
Used this blade for 8 excellent shaves now, which is hard to imagine. Just barely starting to feel a little bit dull, so that's that.
BBS results,
Martin

Hot shower
New Forest T2
TOBS Lemon and Lime (my baseline cream at the moment), face lathered
Feather Portable (arrived in the post today!)
Boots blade (1)
KoS ASB
First impressions: the Feather is a beautiful piece of design, dinky and pretty and entirely desirable, and feels to be probably the most aggressive razor of my five. Not a single nick in four passes, though, and a very smooth result with zero touchup. I'm experimenting with a true-WTG pass (which on me is left to right almost everywhere) so that I go down, up, right, left - tried it on the neck yesterday and everywhere today. Might be a keeper.
As a three-piece design I assumed it would be hard to pack it away with the blade in situ, as one would going to a new destination every night - in fact it is not difficult at all, only very slightly fiddly. Very happy with it so far!
