SOTD : Saturday 4th August ~ Friday 10th August 2018.

What a superb line-up of balanced shave products. And there's nowt wrong with aluminium or stainless containers, Paul; I have plenty of my soaps housed in the same. What a superb job you've done with the Kabinett labels; puts my clumsy effort to shame.
I also like the contrast of metals in your photo, and also a nicely thought-out scent combo from start to finish .
 
You are too kind but thank you Tom P.

Vulfix 404
Vitos Super Red
ER Streamline
Gem S/S ( 1 )
Pitralon Polar A/S lotion

My first SE/Gem Shave in nearly 2 months, with my favourite the ER Streamline.Was a contrast to yesterday with a modern AC/SE, requiring a lot more care and attention during the Shave to avoid mishap. I chose to use the dependable Vitos to lessen the danger of error.

The Shave was completed without any problems, and the quality of the the overall finish was superior to that attained yesterday with the ATT SE1. Once mastered the Vintage SE razors are superb Shavers, though blade longevity does not match that of the AC blades.

Razor: Cobra Classic

Post: Cold water rinse, Alcolado Glacial

My first go with a Soapy Science soap, cheers @Scott, and it's pretty good stuff.
It's very slick, a bit light on cushion but I find the slickness compensates for this and the Cobra agreed.
The scent isn't great but it's mild enough to live with.
All in all not a bad soap.
Happy Shaving one and all.
