It’s taken a while but a new Hone 15s has arrived, with a polished head and is a completely new experience compared to my original. It is smoother and has absolutely no drag. Yes the finish is slightly different to the rest of the razor but it’s pretty much the razor I hoped I’d have. Not quite as light as it could be, and it seems heavier than my original long handle brass version but I think it’s because the balance is slightly different with the shorter handle, regardless I love the mild shave and feel it gives! I still love it’s unique look and now finally love the shave it gives as well!

Greetings,
Early morning Shave.
Everything in my shave this morning paired together wonderfully.
SE razors truly are fantastic shaving tools....If i had known how wonderful smooth, & efficient SE razors where ,especially Injector razors when i first ventured into the wonderful world of traditional wet shaving i probably wouldn't have bought a DE razor as they provide and give everything i require for a close comfortable shave. , fitted with the Gem PTFE blades...My thanks again go to Pat @Pat-W for introducing me to them.
Another wonderful 2 pass + pick ups close comfortable shave with no errors to report...Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Cien Sensitive ASB.
My face is feeling silky smooth & smelling divine.
Stay safe, and enjoy your day ladies & gentlemen.
Nope…you are not alone I have the exact same soap…curtesy of your SOTD posts. I like it a lot and a nice wooden bowl and lid to boot.Da da. My shave with the theme, 'Hive-2 take 2'

Take 1 - Occams Enoch
Take 2 - Feather Super Professional

Take me I'm yours - The Bath House Cuban Cedar and Lime
'I thought you said give him a clap, not he had the clap'
'Oh. Eleanor can give him that as well'
Come on ye Bath House users. Get your Soaps out and show us your face creaming. Am I the only one who uses this superb soap? A second outing for the new brush and great results all the way. It is well proving itself a worthy place in the (and soon to be reorganised) shaving cabinet. Hurrah, Hurrah for team lather.
The Enoch because I am rather liking it of recent. The blade final saw the blade bin, but it must have seen the best part of 15 shaves. In goes a Schick Proline for its next day out by the sink. Hurrah, Hurrah for Enochs.
A couple of days demolished in a super quick time and smooth all the way, despite the blade showing signs of reaching its shaving life.
Happily shaved and happy bunnies all the way.
And from happy to a bunch of girls who don't look or sound too happy. Ms Machine
I'll have to give the Palmolive naturals soap a try.A Fuss Free Shave: No prep.
Cold Water & Palmolive Soap straight to face.
Lathered without using a brush; one application of soap, then leavings.
Gillette K4 Slim Razor #5, London Bridge Blade #1.
Head, then face shaved; head 2 passes WTG.
Face 3 passes: with, across & against the grain.
Cold Rinse & then Ben Hope balm.
A nice, refreshing, clean shave.
Job done.
TTFN.

You can still get the wooden bowl from Facelocker, I was not aware that it is now in tins.Wonderful. I do have friends.
Shame they stopped using the lovely wooden bowls and replaced with a tin tub
