Vulfix 660
Gem OCMM
Gem blade

I had about 15 minutes to grab a shower and a shave before going to a christening. With the OCMM and two passes I was smooth enough and out the door. Job done!

Prep: Cold Rinse
Razor: Long Comb New
Brush: Heisheng 24mm Pure Badger
Blade: NOS Scottish Perma-Sharp
Soap: Tabac
A/S: Homemade "Jameson" batch
Result: Really caused some irritation with this razor. My first time with a New and I think I need to take a step back and start over with it, especially after reading another topic about them on here earlier today!
 
Preshave : hot water and lather wash
Brush : men - u boar brush
Super later of palmolive shave stick, Erasmic shaving cream, arko shave stick and tabac shave stick
Razor : valet auto strop razor
Blade : despined, palm stropped gem stainless coated SE

Post shave : cold water, floid " the genuine " lotion and E45 cream

result
A DFS. First time using the valet and quite impressed. A mid aggressiveness razor comparable to my boots De. Maybe not converted to se shaving over De, but maybe I just need to get used to the blade.

A much better result than the first outing with the feather. First time I think I was a bit gung ho as I have used a straight on and off for a few years, it resulted in lots of very small nicks. Tonight though I took more time, paid more attention and gave it a bit more respect.I was rewarded with a very smooth and close shave with only one nick. Right under the septum due to the wrong angle. Didn't need the styptic pencil though and stopped bleeding after a rinse. I could really get to like this razor!
