The Custom ERN was star of the show, he gave a 70% of the shave, but there was a small cameo role at the end for Feather AS-D1, life is good and i'm feeling fine.

Three pass, bowl lathered
Decent end result but, I must confess, I think that the Crystal blades don't suit me. I'll probably dig out what I have and PIF them to new users in a few days....

Crystal Blade
New Forest 2201 Brush
Provence Santé Soap
Bulldog ASB
Disappointing blade. Not as sharp as either the Astra or the BIC, although slightly smoother than the BIC. I was expecting better. Perhaps the next 2 shaves will improve.

Re: RE: Shave of the day W/C Saturday 20th August 2011
This morning:
Bulldog face wash
La Toja stick, face lathered with
New Forest Tubby 2
Rocket (first use by me, from FrenchBlade), with
Gillette 7OC yellow (1)
King of Shaves balm
Wondered if my technique had improved enough over the previous ten Yellows to dispense with the pre-strop: yes. Wonderful shave, love the Rocket!

vintage Marshall Fields badger
1970s Schick M type adjustable injector/Gillette Platinum Plus (NOS)

Been a long time since last using this very pleasant soap. At one time I was sorta hooked on this stuff, a good part due to the fragrance. Yeah, it's got a nice fruity scent....kinda like mango. Good performance as well.
