Well first time for me with much of this shave.
The Razor was a joy to hold & a joy to use,
The blade again was decent although i found it slightly tuggy but three good passes with no a blemish & zero feedback on the Alum.
The feedback on the razor itself was possibly the best iv experienced with each stroke being a genuine pleasure.
The Soap was a very Large sample from Paul Blademonkey, i wasn’t shure what to expect really but again it done its job nicely.
I’m unsure of the scent thought as it reminded me of a the smell from the blue rinse pensioner lol, possibly a imperial leather type smell, either that or they’ve p1ssed themselves & i haven’t noticed
I’m Genuinely getting in to this vintage stuff but won’t dismiss the modern razors i have.
All in all a very decent shave & i’ll now look forward to my slim coming in the post next week

My final shave with this lovely razor so kindly loaned to me by @Tony'schin .
I have enjoyed using this razor very much indeed and today's shave was no exception.
A wonderful creamy lather was produced from the Czech & Speake Oxford & Cambridge soap and another use of the fantastic Gillette Bleue NOS blade.
A perfect shave was had leaving me with a super smooth finish.
Thank you Tony.
