Not posted here for a while - keep forgetting! :blush:

Gillette #77
BIC platinum chrome (1)
Omega large boar knot
Ingram's shaving cream
Mr Taylor's AS
Astral cream
Old Spice vintage Shulton cologne

After using the Droyt shaving soap for the last three or four shaves, the return to Ingrams was a near revelation. Much more protective lather and with a #77 in my shaky hands, I needed it. Lost my bottle as far as drilling carved handles for brush knots and the shed is a tip so I can't get near the tools anyway. Still the big boar seems to work better for me with the Ingram's than my Simpson's Colonel which keeps the lather to itself and seems to run out of steam by the third pass. I know it's down to me but I do like that boar. The very last of the vintage OS today and every time I think I've beaten the monkey, it comes back with a vengeance. Wherefore art thou, vintage Old Spice?

I am always surprised when I revisit this shaving system. The Feather Blades are just so sharp. I retired this one today after 10 shaves.....just because the blade was beginning to discolour slightly. A 2 pass BBS.

I think this razor is nice,quick and plesent to shave with, but not one to start pressing on your face with as 4oz is quiet enough weight to play with thank you.

Muhle Silvertip Fibre
Taylor's Jermyn St cream
Simple Rich moisturiser
Penhaligon's Endymion

Bought a little (19mm) synthetic brush and some Taylor's tubes for travel to make a change from sticks. I'm fairly impressed!

I'll bin the cartridge and ditch the Fusion on Sunday.
