Decent shave this morning, it won't topple the vector as my favourite AC razor no matter how much I play with it but still trying to decide whether it has a place. Still smooth and semi ready for the day ahead.
Hope everyone has a good kick off to the weekend!
Cheers

Boti 27mm Boar - Cella Original - Parker SRDW/Derby Premium - Lustray Spice AS
I used an earlier model of this Parker razor when I first decided to try a shavette. I cut myself and never went back to it. I still believe that something with protected corners like a Focus or a Vanta is the best way to start. A few years down the line with experience and the Parker gave a faultless shave. It will make an excellent low cost travel razor

A wonderful shave this morning, two passes and a good comfortable finish. I seem to get a better, closer shave with the EJ head than with the Razorock Game Changer. Perhaps it is my many years more use of the EJ razor or perhaps it’s something else. My preference, by some way, is for the EJ DE89. Controversial… probably.PAA Amber Aerolite

Decent shave with the blade for me at the end of its performance, two passes and done, finished with an application of the moisturiser to aid against the Winter weather with a cream that has zinc in and rose absolute.

Soap - Mish mash of OSP samples
Brush- Razorock Plissoft 24mm
Razor - Ever Ready 1912 with 1914 handle
Blade - Gem Personna SSC #3
Post - Barts Balm Ben More lotion
In work early this morning in preparation for a busy day given the weather that's forecast.
Meant I could bring in the ER 1912 bathroom set for a rare work shave, but decided to try the heavier handle from my 1914. Resulted in another fantastic 3 passes, but a more sedate and concentrated shave compared to yesterday's with the lighter aluminium handle. Shows how a razor head's "personality" and balance can be influenced by the handle. DFS result.
Take care all and enjoy your shaves

Very nice, just as efficient as the DX but easier to use - For me.
I will run some unguarded blades through this one.

Going to work this morning around 5.30am there was a bit strong wind with a lot of very wet snow/sleet, it had cleared up by about 830, we have had the sun out since about 10am, then as i write the sky has started growing darker.

This morning -
Yaqi Excalibur
P30 (14)
Semogue 2000
Vitos?
cold water
Weleda balm
Tabac edt.
Great. I didn't really need to shave but where's the fun in that? The Vitos was gifted to me and I can't remember which type it is - Super Extra, Super Coco, Red or Green? - works as well as any other variety I have. The scent has dissipated somewhat but it still performs just fine and seems quite happy living in the repurposed MWF jar. Which is nice. Selah - I.
