Been a while since i have done a SOTD but must say this blade,cream,brush & balm combo have given me very good results and although this was the 1st time using the progress and i needed some touch up's with the D89 overall it produced a very good shave which can improve as i get to grips with the progress....
 
Evening, everybody.

Friday:

Prep: Claus Porto Lime-oil face soap
Razor: EJDE89 with iKon Bulldog handle
Blade: Gillette Super Thin (7)

Prep: Cold Water Splash
Razor: English NEW LC with Weber Bulldog Handle
Blade: Feather #2
Brush: Simpson Duke 2 Best
Soap: Lea Stick
Post: Proraso Menthol Post Cream
Aftershave: Proraso Splash

A ok 2 pass cold water face lather shave

2nd shave with this blade wasn't as nice as the first, it was like the first shave with an average blade, not as close or as smooth.
 
Broke out the Schick type E injector now that I have some blades for it. Some hold up with the blade injection but eventually succeeded in loading a new blade.

Proraso pre
Omega 37 Boar
Mike's Hungarian Lavender
Schick Type E Injector
Thayer's Peach
Acqua Di Parma ASB

Nice result. The injector - very easy to use. Another razor to add to the rotation!
