The shave I had from my ER 1914 yesterday was fantastic and then this one arrived in the post courtesy of @mpf9ret and its in fabulous condition so I couldnt resist another 1914 shave, thanks Mike.
I face lathered with this uber soft Razorock brush and the wonderful SV soap, those were the first of two great combos.
Then I set to with the 1914 & the Corrux, the second of the great combos and the shave was every bit as good as it was yesterday, everything worked together to produce a really close and I mean really close shave that was smooth and efortless and was left smooth skinned without any irritation just a great post shave skin feel.
Finnishing with a splash of Thayers followed up by Jojoba oil as a light moisturiser. The Amber Absoloute on my pulse points and I look good, smell divine and am ready for the day
Wishing you all a fabulous Friday.......

Blade: Astra SP #1
Razor: Fat Boy (On Loan)
Soap: WSP Sandalwood
Brush: Maseto 30mm finest (Unfortunately I do not own an American made Brush)
Post: Thayers witch hazel and BBA Balm
EDT: Joop
Well my first time using the infamous Gillette fat boy and already I know what all the fuss is about.
After 3 days growth I decided to dial it in at #6 WTG #6 XTG and my final pass was#4 ATG.
The razor mowed down my growth without any problem on my first pass. I am extremely impressed by the vintage capabilities.
The result was a BBS shave that was so smooth and without cuts, weepers or any irritation.
So much so and although this is my first go with this razor, it is a must buy razor.
Really impressed with her performance.
The soap produced a good lather with a lovely sandalwood scent but if I had any criticism I would say that it lacks in a little slickness and cushion. YMMV.
The brush as usual performed its face lathering magic and finishing off with the Hazel and Balm I could not fault the shave.
Joop is an old skool scent that I still adore to this day.
Enjoy your shaves folks and take care,
Wayne.
Been fixed, have a nice day K.Can't see your picOff to work

First of all a few moments silence in memory of my Grosvenor 404 Boar/Badger Brush.......................................
After steaming it for 90min yesterday...I resorted to some mechanical assistance to try to remove the knot. The knot stayed put....but the handle split
It was a 'must buy' for me to Wayne. So I bought one!SOTD: 03/08.17
