I really enjoyed that, its always a privilege to use this wonderful piece of shaving engineering. So glad i took the time to clean it up, Internals gunked up with hard soap, it had also been put together incorrectly, so, a little investigation then trial and error to get the mechanism to work. BINGO!
The Vintage cream and brush whipped up clouds of slickness, too much for the required shave, i am not going to say it was a waste as i completed a rinse and face wash with what was left - very nice.
I find the B1 a very efficient fellow so went straight in with a XTG pass, a very gentle touch and good angle cleared away the main of the stubble then an ATG pass to finish - Done!
Achieving a close BBS and comfortable finish with a very nice post shave routine.
1 very happy shaver.
Stay safe and enjoy your day All
