SOTD : Saturday 13th April - Friday 19th

I only tried the Proguards once; and had similar results. Going on to the Feather Professionals helped. Very sharp and less drag.
 
Prep : warm water
Razor : Wilkinson Sword Classic (plastic)
Brush : Proraso (Omega) boar
Blade : Wilkinson Sword
Soap : Lea classic
Bowl : just a bowl
Alum : De Vergulde Hand
Aftershave : Sir Irisch Moos

After using the Aliexpress bowl switched to a sort of soup bowl. The Ali bowl is very nice but for me not very handy.

PreShave: Warm water, from the tap
Cream: OSP Vintage
Brush: Kent BK8
Bowl: My recycled cream bowl
Razor: The Sledgehammer (Merkur 39C)
Blade Polsilver SI (2)
Post Shave: Alum

Fragrance: Floris Jermyn Street


Found an excuse to crack open a tub of OSP Vintage—the first time I've used OSP products. I'd ordered some before James' sabbatical, and ordered more after his announcement; but didn't have a chance or excuse to open up a tub until this morning. Although in my excitement, I may have used too much water, it provided great lubrication for a shave. The scent was a bit muted (as others have noted, see TomG's remark above), but pleasing nonetheless. I like this cream. And, with day two of the Polsilver, a very nice BBS shave was had.

Enjoy the evening, folks.

Still on a learning curve with the King Cobra. Today fitted a different handle and a fresh blade, it really worked well for me. A good lather from the MWF, allowed the Razor to shave smoothly and efficiently - the cheeks were done in a trice and I seemed to get the angles around the neck much better, so the overall finish quality was very good. After todays Shave I am much happier with this Razor ,as I had some doubts as to whether or not it suited me. Now Shaves well- looks good .
