That is a handsome setup - beautiful looking brush - let's enjoy our badgers - before they become illegal. Williams - one of my favourite after shaves. I was sorry to read about your experience of using the 1912 - each to their own - I guess. What's with the fish knife? I.29/11/19

I've had a long run of new DE razors lately so thought it time for a bit of vintage. I bought this old lady in February and this is her first outing.
What a shave! Easy BBS finish. This has served as a good reminder as to why there's still a lot of love for old Gillettes.
The ES Bay Rum is a great cream (and their others). It gives me a very light tingle when I use it but not to the point where it's uncomfortable. The scent and performance encourage me to keep using it.
Hi Iain. It's a vintage fish knife that was kindly gifted to me by Russ @RussellR5555 to aide with cleanly taking shaving cream from the tub for use. Because of that generosity, it's actually the item I hold most dear in my den.That is a handsome setup - beautiful looking brush - let's enjoy our badgers - before they become illegal.

She's a sweet looking dog, she was rescued by the right personMy Saturday shave that I liked so much I did again on Sunday
Preshave: The wonderful African Black Soap - that the very talented @Digimonkey Made
Soap: Another that is becoming a firm favourite Natural Ireland's - Natural Shave Soap
Razor: This one I bought thinking it would be too aggressive but how wrong I was Efficent but Smooth the ATT H1
Blade: The only thing in the shave that was more for curiosity than love - Permasharp they are sharp but unrefined for me.
Brush: Another second hand purchase I thought was ok , but has grown to be a favourite.
Splash: A little bit of Epsilon Blue
Balm: The wonderful Bart's unscented (which has a lovely pepper smell).
EDT: Dunhill Desire
I spent the day picking up a new rescue dog which was a 5 hour round trip , so decide to repeat the shave when I got home , as it was a real joy on Saturday.
