The winner blade paired together wonderfully with my vintage gillette slimtwist, making my sunday shave a pleasurable experience.

A comfortable 3 pass + pick ups silky smooth shave with no errors to report.

Pre: Pears Original Transparent
Brush: Yaqi Rainbow
Soap: OSP Neroli
Razor: Blackland Vector
Blade: Feather PB (1)
Post: Alum Block, cold water splash, Homemade Neroli Witch Hazel
Balm: Bart's Lime Balm & Lotion
Aftershave: OSP Neroli & Copycat Just Neroli



BOOM!
2 Glorious passes with the Vector this morning, WTG & XTG/ATG Mix. There are a few reasons she just jumps to the favourite position each time I use her, slim, nimble, weighty but not too heavy, gorgeous looking and she delivers leaving the skin comfortable.
I used the homemade Neroli witch hazel and it works, although it needs a good shake before application, carrying on the theme from the soap to the splash, I will now make up a batch of Argan oil Lotion / Balm with the same ratios.
Nothing from the block and a very nice post shave.
Squeaky BBS, soft & supple and smelling top Drawer.
I am ready for my visit to the Mothership
Have a great Sunday All.
