I do like the Dutch Moss

Pre Prep + "lanolized" Omega shaving cream + Vie&Long 13064 horse + Weber Bulldog with Gillette New head and Crystal #3 + Sergio Tacchini splash with LEA balm

This time I have used this brush using only the tips for facelathering like some friends has told me but... I have not been convinced. I only get a very thin foam layer in my face in this manner, and the brush collects the rest of the foam. So I would prefer still lathering in a bowl and then paint my face with it.

Anyway, I have tested as well my Gillette New head in this Weber Bulldog handle with excellent results: more easy to use, still getting a close shave.

Cheers!

Vie Long 13061
Cella
C&E West Indian Lime balm
cK one

Ninja lather. It looked lovely and yoghurt-like when whipping it up but after the first pass it disappeared on me. Odd. Luckily, I only intended to go for two passes anyway. Visiting the parents so stole a few spritzes of my teenage brother's cK one edt. Memories of being 15 myself and wearing this... it's only been 9 years, mind. Plenty has happened since.
 
After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep;

vintage butterscotch Made Rite badger
Schick M type adjustable injector/PAL Stainless steel (NOS)
The Soap Opera Himalaya SS
RL Safari AS Relief Balm (old stuff)
RL 'Safari' EdT (vintage juice)

Second time using this new to me blade and it's just ok. Glad I didn't buy a lot of these things.

BBS results,

Martin

Feather blade
TOBS Almond cream in a tube
Two passes. WTG XTG.

I do like the noise this razor makes. A sort of zipping noise.
Like a zip.
When you zip it.
Up or down.
ZZZZZIIIIIIIIIIIIPPPPPP.
Like that.
Zippy.
