A very nice vintage shave today, although the blade felt a bit "prickly" in places, i checked it using the sharpie test and strop after the shave and all seems well, i think it must be the "big nut" on the handle end of the razor.
The Vintage cream and brush whipping up a very slick and intentionally loose lather.
2 passes with a little touch up here and there for a DFS+ finish.
All in all a very happy shaver.
Stay safe and enjoy your day all.

Wednesday morning

Thought after seeing the thread about Astra green and commenting that I didn't really get on with them, that it's been a fair while and it could've been my technique when I did try them. As I still had a tuck of them, I loaded one in the Aristocrat #66.

I will report that despite a very close shave, it wasn't my technique all those months ago. My face was sore for a good half hour after I finished despite using balm.

I'll give it another run out tomorrow, but will move the rest of the blades so my wife can use them as a leg shaver!

The T&H was really nice, but the EJ best badger is a proper shedder!

4 day weekend, enjoy those in the UK!
