Dab of Prep Aftershave Balm (thanks again @pjgh), which emanates a mild 'Vaporub' type smell and I'm chilly, not tacky, smooth, fresh as a daisy and good to go. This was a belter of a shave.
Probably ..........Swish! Probably the best kit out there.
I struggled to find the right angle to begin with myself Kevin. I'm glad it's not just me.Pre: Warm water face wash

Many thanks to @Barry Giddens for letting me try the razor which I believe to be the one which kicked off the three piece AC safety razor revolution.
First impressions:
With its straight lines and angles it looks far more utilitarian than the curvy Colonial General. I must admit I find the General the prettier of the two.
On to the more important bit (imo), the shave:
To be fair it wasn't much of a test, having used the Cobra <20hrs ago, but it shaves quite efficiently and smoothly once you find the right angle. I didn't find this as intuitive as the sharp angled head would suggest but it's only my first go with it and think I'll have it cracked tomorrow.
A pretty good start to the weekend, and here's hoping you all have a good one.
Looking at it, you'd think the angle was all set up for you, but I didn't find this to be the case.I struggled to find the right angle to begin with myself Kevin. I'm glad it's not just me.
