Greetings,

Another early morning shave.

The 1912(UK) version, like it's US cousin is a joy to shave with, the only difference i find with the UK version slightly more efficient than the US version but, both are a equal joy to shave with.

A wonderfully smooth 3 pass + pick ups near bbs shave with no errors to report.

Finishing to the shave off with a generous dollop of Boots ~ Freshwood A/S Balm.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling devine.

Enjoy your day, ladies & gentlemen.

Pre shave Prep: Pears Original Transparent
Brush: Alpha Titanium Outlaw G4
Soap: Arran Lochranza
Razor: Gamechanger OC 0.84
Blade: Astra SP (2)
Post shave: Alum Block, cold water splash, homemade Witch Hazel
Balm: Barts Balm Cinnamon & Patchouli Lotion / Arran Lochranza

A fantastic close and comfortable shave today. 3 passes for a BBS Finish.
These Gamechanger's are really delivering for me paired up with the Astra SP.
I would say the OC is a little more efficient than the SB, however, both suit me very well.
Its going to be really hard to reduce the collection size as at the moment i have no razors i truly dislike.
Its a nice problem to have though.
Feeling and smelling really good.
Have a great day All.
 

What's this Oumo synth like?

Bart's Balm Amber and Moroccan Jasmine

Two pretty good shaves, yesterday morning and today. Some excellent lathers and perfectly serviceable results. The Game Changer with a new Feather felt a little forward, and needed a bit of caution.
 

No worries P. - auspicious timing in passing that on. If you are in the market for picking stuff up - there is a Corte Ingles department store in Torremolinos - even given the current lunacy of the exchange rate - shaving stuff is still cheaper in Spain than here - particularly domestic brands. All ECI stores are basically laid out the same - on the ground floor - next to the scent department - will be the posher stuff - you should find a good choice from the Alvarez Gomez, Lea, Floid, Nivea and La Toja ranges - normally they carry a decent selection of Vie Long and Omega brushes also. If you go into the supermarket - in the basement - you will get more basic stuff cheaper than upstairs - Lea and La toja sticks, cream, balm and aftershaves. If you haven't tried them - I'd thoroughly recommend Williams Ice Cool Menthol cream in a tube - performance is way above the couple of euros it costs - and the Spanish version of Williams Aqua Velva after shave - proper old school product - I think you'd like it - about six euros odd for 200 ml. Ten unas buenas vacaciones - I.
