First shave since I restored the razor, a super smooth shave, I didn't notice anything different about the way this razor behaved when you consider how much longer the tang and tail is compared to most razors, felt comfortable and very balanced.

Greetings

Thursday 23rd August 2012
Prep: Shower
Razor: GEM Micromatic Bullet Tip
Blade: Modern GEM Coated
Brush: Shaving Factory Horse or Boar? Med.
Lather: Kent Luxury & T.O.B.S. Sandlewood (bowl lathered)
Aftershave: Wilkinson Hydro Balm- Sensitive

An attempt at making superlather:- I certainly got a super lather, but I know either product would have made that anyway, so I don't know quite what I achieved. The lather was certainly slippery and very good and helped produce a first class shave so I suppose I succeeded....did I?

Regards
Dick.

Believe or not Tony I haven't used any filters with that shot, it must be the white balance settings I used, also shows me up for not treating the garden table.

I meant using post production editing software rather than lens filters, you might not think it but thats one of the nicer backdrops I've seen you use.
 
I see what you mean now Tony, my back drops are usually B&Q wallpaper samples, I should really make myself a light box but i can't be bothered, all my photo's are usually quick set ups in the kitchen with a reflector board and a wireless remote.

Pre Veleiro soap + Jabonman Eucalipto-menta-pino-árbol de té + Semogue 1335 + Rotbart 15.5 with Iridium Super + Proraso splash with LEA balm

A good and fresh shave, although the blade wasn't in the best condition, I should changed it...

Cheers!
