Tonights pleasure

Proraso Pre/Post (Original formula)
Feather Artist SS - Pro blade (2)
Proraso Green cream (new formula)
New forest tubby 1
Nivea sensitive balm
Witch hazel

Rather enjoying the Proraso chill with the straight razor - very comfortable.
 
Furtur (2.5)
Supermax Blue Diamond
Erasmc shaving soap
Saville RoW 3284
Post shave Proraso

Cracking shave, nice smooth shave, two minor nicks which stopped with a rinse and post cream.
 
Aqueous cream
St James founders reserve cedarwood and clarysage cream
Fatboy on 7, 5 / Merkur Progress on 2, 1.5 with vintage Ever Sharp stainless
M and S Autograph balm

Best guess is this blade is from the sixties. A bit draggy, especially in the fatboy, but no irritation and fairly close. I'd happily use these again but wouldn't buy unless they were quite cheap, not that i've ever seen them on sale.
 
Good morning friends! :)

My favourite razor, the Fon Golden Star always delivers a smooth shave.

Merkur 34C w/Personna Platinum
EJ Badger
TOBS Avocado Cream
Witch Hazel
TOBS Mr Taylors AS

First time using this blade, a very smooth shave!
 
Thursday:

TOBS Sandalwood soap
Semogue SOC Boar
Ever Ready Streamline
GEM SE (6)
Pinaud Vanilla AS

Another great shave from this razor and blade. The SOC brush is pretty much broken in and it's brilliant. Nice soft tips and enough backbone. Perfect for face lathering.
 
Thursday

Dovo Best Quality 5/8
New Forest 2201 Brush
Provence Santé Shaving Soap
Alum
Proraso Cut Gel
Witch Hazel

Sliced my chin and cut my earlobe. Fucking awesome :icon_rolleyes:.

GFT almond soap
Vulfix 404 bristle & badger
L1 Schick Injector with NOS Schick Platinum blade
RSC balm

3rd shave with the Injector. Nice, though blade fading. I can understand what others say about the injector being a good change of pace razor. I think that's how I'll use it. The absence of heft means I can't see myself using it as an everyday razor.
 
After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:

vintage butterscotch Ever Ready badger
'Webly'/Wilkinson Sword Edge (NOS)
Surrey SS (pre VDH reformulation)
Lucky Tiger AS and Face Tonic
Dior 'Eau Sauvage' EdP (old juice)


BBS results,

Martin
