After three cartridge shaves in a row the Bogeyman appears behind you, shouts "Boogbooga!", and hides all your DE razors and blades!

Careful Ian!

After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:
Marshall Fields rebranded Simpsons best
'Webly'/Wilkinson Super Sword Edge (NOS)
RL Safari SS
Barber Shop Bay Rum AS
Givenchy 'Xeryus' EdT (black bottle)
Found yet another Wilky Super Sword variation (5 pack) the other day at a flea market and tried one today. Really good blade.....very sharp and smooth. Reminds me of the Light Brigades. Too bad I was only able to purchase the one pack, but still a lucky find. Heh, got those blades, plus a 5 pack of unopened Schick Plus Platinum ones, and a flare tip in nice shape, all for $2.
BBS results,
Martin

Greetings
Wednesday 12th September 2012
Prep: Shower & Face scrub with Pears soap
Razor: Schick Type I
Blade: Personna Stainless Coated
Brush Vie Long 13061M Horse
Soap: Trumpers Coconut Soap and Erasmic Cream + Glycerine
Aftershave: Nivea Sensitive Balm
Fifth shave with this injector blade and it still seems fine with further life in it; as SE blades are quite a bit more expensive than DE's I have abandoned my DE policy of binning all blades after the third shave.
Tried a facial scrub with the horse brush and Pears soap as a pre-shave, pretty sure it didn't make a bit of difference but as the Uberlather is so slippery I can't imagine why I thought it might!
Regards
Dick

Scent from Heaven orange shaving soap
Merkur Progress on 2, 1.5, 1 with vintage Polsilver (yellow pack)
Edwin Jagger boar
Professor Blighty's Tuxedo a/s balm
Had these blades a few months but never tried one till now. They feel a lot like the blue and silver Super Iridiums - same smoothness and sharpness. Don't know about longevity yet (I get three decent shaves with an SI and that's with touch-ups and buffing) but I suspect similar!
Yes I know the photos are crap. I don't have a dedicated camera, just an 8megapixel cameraphone that doesn't focus or reproduce lifelike colours!
