Congratulations on having your first "Shavette" shave mate. You are a braver man than I.
Hope you persevere at it and thank you for a very informative review.

Hi Kevin,I did warn you Rob, but once you find the angle, about midway between the 1912 and a DE, it's quite smooth.
Good luck
A pleasure, Rob. The Streamline is, indeed, a step up from other 1912s. It's one where you have to be careful of abiding with the 'no pressure' adage, 'cos it's a heavy bugger.
Razor: Streamline (on loan)
Razor blade: GEM Personna
Brush: Maseto 24mm extra dense Finest
Soap: Wickhams Classic 24 (Sample)
Post: BAA aftershave balm
A massive thank you to Kevin AKA @Boru62 for getting in touch and offering me the loan of the Streamline razor.
The razor looks class and the fit and finish is a big step up from the 1912.
It's also a big step up in aggression from the 1912 too.
I found the shave rough in places and there was a lot more blade feel compared to the 1912. I only needed 3 passes and no touch-ups.
I was going to use the Fine Platinum aftershave but I decided to use the BBA aftershave balm instead and my face felt tender in a few places.
Half an hour later and my face has recovered well do @Emma.BBA
Another sample from @Acer89
This is the first of the 6 samples James has sent I've been disappointed with.
I found the scent underwhelming and not very strong. I've read it's supposed to smell like Creed Aventus but I didn't get anything close to it...Told you it wouldn't last James.

A shout out to @Scotshave who also offered to send me a razor to try. Thanks for the offer, really appreciate the gesture.
