SOTD : Saturday 22nd September - Friday 28th September. 2018.

Morning shave

Olive Oil Soap
Martin de candre Original
Saponificio Varesino 2.0 Cocobolo
Schick Krona TTO
Vintage Gillette Super Silver (4)
Bart's Lavender Oil
Le 3' Homme de Caron EDT

I had to scratch an itch with the MdC and I'm very glad that I did. Following advice from other members I only loaded for around 20 seconds and was rewarded with a rich, slick, sumptuous lather. Is it worth the price? Probably. The soap is packed to the brim in the jar and I only used the smallest amount in loading. It will last for for ever! Have a good day gents.

Gem Junior 1912- Brass
Gem S/S [ 3 ]
Tuff Green A/S Lotion

Of the 1912 SE Razors that I have owned and used this Gem is without doubt my favourite. It holds a blade firmly so there is less chatter , and has a nice degree of blade feel without threatening.Had an extremely pleasant Shave and with ease attained a Super close all round finish.
Just ready for a day out in Canterbury to collect some currency for a holiday in Istanbul. You never know I might find some Arko and have a Barber Shop Shave.

Picked up this V1 on BST and it came with samples of three of my favourite AC blades, thanks @george
First impression, it looks like a cross between the General and the Mongoose, not as pretty/slinky as the General and not quite as utilitarian as the Mong.
The shave, I was quite impressed, I found it easier to use under the jawline than the Mong and ended up with a DFS+.
I'll try it tomorrow on a less unwieldy handle and see if it can become as manoeuvrable as the General.
Happy Shaving one and all.

Made in Scotland too, the V1 May be a tank but it Shaves well.
