Yes, nice one Andy!

Well done Konstantinos! It does take time though, no short cuts possible with straights, I´m sorry to say. It can go faster if you have a mentor, perfect if in irl, that can help you with angels and how to hold, stretch and draw, but finally it´s down to you to get enough experience and muscle memory for the hand/s. I think. Hang in there though, it´s great fun once it clicks, only my two pennies worth though.

Thank you Andy and Teiste!

ABC Tea Tree Soap
Ranger Tech & SM(1)
Arko & 2B Col.
Aqua Velva AS

first go with the SuperMax in this razor, went through a day and a half's growth ok-ish, the jury is out on this one - we'll see what it is like tomorrow with a straight 24 hours. Every time I use Arko, I remind my self to get some citrus-like AS at some point - deffo for summer anyways :)

Mergress
Shark Super Stainless (3)
New Forest 2201
Monsavon
Ogallala Bay Rum & Sandalwood AS
Dr Henk's Bay Rum ASB.

Jury is out on these Shark Blades. Definately the last one in this razor. I'll try a new one tomorrow in a different one. Not too keen at the moment to be honest.
 
After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:

1964 Macys silvertip
1958 Executive/Feather
Surrey SS (pre VDH reformulation)
vintage 'Carrington' AS

Sheeesh, I screwed up the lather a bit today. First time I can remember using this soap and not getting great results. My fault entirely, having never used this particular brush with this soap. It's a floppy old thing and I just didn't load it up enough off this small hard puck. The shave was still fine, but not quite what I'm used to.

BBS results,

Martin

Those are so sweet, the Kiebitzes, and often comes with extremly nice scales (like yours Peter). I once had a very sweet Kiebitz *violins playing in the background* but it also was the start of a very nice friendship.

Ever Ready 1912
GEM Blade
New Forest 2201 Brush
Taylor's Sandalwood Cream
Alum
D.R. Harris Pink a/s

Haven't shaved with the Ever-Ready for AAAAAGES, and it show a bit. The application of the alum made me realise that it hadn't quite been the easy shave that it felt like.
