Very very smooth shave, i'm thinking my two favourite razors are both 7/8, and it's size i really find comfortable in hand.

Proraso pre- and post- shave cream
Boots Freshwood soap
Schick Krona with Tiger stainless (7th shave)

Good shave. This blade still passable. Might get an eighth shave out of it!
 
It's time to raid the vintage DE razor draw :heart:
Dove soap /Hot face cloth prep
Gillette slim set to number 3
feather blade
Bluebeards Revenge
Geo.F.Trumper sandlewood skinfood to finish
BSS WTG nice shave.
 
Prep: Hot shower
Brush: Le Tuft w Simpson 22 mm super knot
Razor: J A Hellberg, 1/4 grind
Soap: Provence Santé
AS: Blue Floid, Italian
Strops: Neil Miller
Result: Very, very clean :D
New blade, found this one in either never used or nearly ever used nick. I reads "Warranted Swedish Fabrication 5 years warranty" on the blade and I was dreaming about setting bevels on soft Sheffield wedges while I was honing this one (and that's the second razor in a short while that has been very stubborn) ;)

After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:

unknown blond horn badger
'Webly'/Feather
Lentheric SS (excellent vintage soap)
Malizia Vetyver AS
Malizia Vetyver EdT

BBS results,

Martin
 
Jamie, that may be the most handsome razor and brush combination I've ever seen.

This morning:

Prep: Face wash, Imperial Leather bath soap
Razor: Feather Artist Club RG (wood), Pro blade (11)
Brush: Neep #947 yew ball and bobbin silvertip
Soap: Provence Sante verlaine
Aftershave: Prof Blighty's Yellow Ginger
Scent: Trumper's GFT

Great apart from a little nick on the jaw, though that bled much less than a spot on my nose that appeared last night and spontaneously blew as I rinsed off post-shave - it needed styptic!
 
Thursday

Wilkinson Sword "Sticky"
Gillette Platinum
Vulfix Pure Badger
Omega "Sapone Da Barba"
E45
Speick AS Lotion

Wonderful cooling shave with the lubrication supplied by the Omega cream top notch. This Sticky is a beautiful shaver. Sweltering temperatures in the Scottish Borders.
 
OK. First go on SOTD - be kind.

After checking out the excellent blade rating stats in the spreadsheet ..

EJ 89L

Gillette 7 o'clock yellow
RSC shaving cream
Men-U blended bristle brush
nivea aftershave balm.

Bloody marvellous - much less drag than the derby extra I was using, if a tad more dangerous!
 
Thursday!
Razor: United Drug. Boston-St Louis. 'Permedge' a surprise! A 5$ eBay open razor. Just got it yesterday. Honed it up and wow. A really nice shave.
Soap: Arko stick. Another surprise. Didn't really remember how nice it was. Glade I bought 13 of them!!
Brush: boar
Alum
Preshave: Noxzema plus
AS: Clubman
Balm: Nivea Protective Lotion
A very nice shave.
