This Signature never disappoints, it’s such a fresh citrus soap, just what’s needed in weather like this. I’m binning the blade though it seems past it’s best, still an excellent shave, smooth and efficient but not as sharp as normal.
Have a great day guys.

BDA9BCE2-A164-4800-BD46-3143EA7AFB67.jpegWell Last of the Old Spice Theme with this shave being the pinnacle.
Totally top drawer really.
I love this razor but don’t use it nearly enough,
Mind you it can be a bit rough especially if i don’t have much of a growth.
The Old Spice is good i like it BUT it’s not the holly grail by any means and actually if it wasn’t so unobtainable i reckon it would be a hit or miss.
The fact that it’s not made anymore makes it desirable but it’s certainly not as good as the modern artisans especially in terms of post shave & slickness.
The 20mm Rooney whipped it up in to a wonderful lather very quickly & the scent is probably as prominent today as it was when it first came out.
i guess it’s perhaps lost a bit but i can’t tell.
I do have others that have lost scent but this one seems ok.
Overall it was a 8/10 shave
still loved every minute of it, & using a razor that’s 100 years old & a cardboard box in pristine condition makes it even better.
Enjoy the rest of the week boys & girls &
Stay Safe

Blade Shick Super Stainless 10th Use
Aftershave Clubman Gents Gin
The lather from this soap was whip-up very nicely & enjoyably by the excellent brush to be creamy rich and quite slick..scent is a nice light bayrum
Another very good shave with this excellent blade paired with the razor. 3 silky smooth passes without any issues for a bbs finish. The aftershave is just too good...

How do you like the Blaze? How about the fit and finish?

It's a great razor Jim. I bought the Blaze thinking I'd be unimpressed with it and ultimately move it on but it has surprised me with the shaves.

Packaging and presentation were nice and it all fits together well. Blade fits snugly and the thread action is smooth. It's a lot of razor for the money considering it's CNC brass.

A lovely shave today. Although cheaper than most artisan soaps I like these Tcheon Fung Sing soaps, this one has a lovely scent. Goes well with the Old Spice which I had imported from India to get the original smell. Si'thee around.
