Brush: Simpson Chubby 1 Best
Soap: WK Vor V
Razor: Blackland Blackbird
Blade: Wizamet
Post: WK Vor V Tonic, Balm & EDP

Cracking shave this morning after the canned effort yesterday, really made me appreciate it!

Challenge for today, stack your gear as precariously as possible, this one has me sweating, I actually chickened out as I had my Friodur 17 lined up but thought sod that! But for the life of me I couldn't get the brush to balance.

Smooth, smelling good and ready for the day.

Hope everyone has a grand one.

Cheers

Marc
 
@pjgh Forgive my ignorance... Could I put a standard injector blade in a Gem Featherweight single edge razor?
I never thought to try. It's the only single edge razor I own because I could never get on with those modern GEM blades, which feel like sandpaper on my skin.
The razor is in storage but if it's possible to use an injector blade in it without too much modification or faff then I will hunt it down and load up a Schick Krona or Ultra Platinum!
 
Thur 6th July

Alpha Classic G4 28mm
Cyril Salter Solid soap
Asylum Injector Razor
Schick Proline [ 2 ]

My second outing with The Asylum, and apart from getting a weeper on the edge of my bottom lip due to my handling of the Razor, much better.
Would now like to try it out with some real Injector blades that I have ie. Japanese Schick, and NOS Swedish blades.
