Second shave with this blade. Better than I expected, but perhaps not the smoothest. Did feel smoother than it did yesterday though. Still undecided....

National Husband Appreciation Day
Rooney Stubby 3 Porcelain Finest (26/54)
Floris Elite shaving cream (vintage)
Wilkinson Sticky
Wilkinson London Bridge (9)
Fabergé Brut aftershave (vintage)
The old gear worked very well together, giving me an excellent shave. The scents of the cream and the aftershave, with shared notes of bergamot, lavender, oakmoss, vetiver, and patchouli, blended nicely.

Whoops! Sorry, I mistakenly posted earlier as "Double" Ring. A slip of the mind (not finger) has now been corrected.

Ganders Goat Soap w/Hop, Sage & Birch
Hampshire Wool Fat Shaving Soap & Coronet (Black) w/Pure Bristle 22mm
Lord L122 & Lord Extra (3)
Coty Musk Aftershave
Continiung Artisan April with the very excellent Hampshire Wool Fat in Cedar & Patchouli scent which I have put into a vintage Bristow's Lanolin shaving pot ...
First go with the Lord L122 for me - it gives all the appearance of the Sterling and you'd be forgiven in thinking that Lord had just commissioned that as their razor, but it is actually quite different. First, blade gap is 0.045" rather than 0.025" as is the Sterling. Second, blade presentation is ever so slightly less than the Sterling, making the razor altogether less like the Tech and more like the Personna type. Some would say mild, I would say perfectly engineered. That, and it has a long and stable centre post in M5 which makes popping a model handle on dead easy.
Lovely shave with the Lord Extra on the third run - super smooth, especially in the ... erm, mild razor.
Splash of vintage Coty Musk for afters ... absolutely the splash that Jovan Musk really should be. Proper, that!

I couldn't be happier with this Artisan soap from Wales. It was very kindly gifted to me by Brian, @culcreuch along with a trade.
It seemed to explode into a lather the moment the damp brush touched it. Face lathering created the most stable lather I have seen in a long time.
Sandalwood is the prominent scent, which is very pleasing.
If you haven't tried this soap, I can highly recommend it.
Enjoy the weekend everyone

It can take an obscene amount of water too.
I look forward to reading your opinion.

Greetings,
A relaxing Sunday morning shave.
It's been a while since i last used the Weishi 2.0 Adjustable...I find the higher setting are more suited to my skin type. I have an array of in-expensive Chinese clone razors which all provide me with socially acceptable shaves.
The Weishi 2.0 Adjustable/ Silver Star was another smooth efficient combo...The Weishi Adjustable performance on the higher settings gives a superb efficient comfortable shave.
Finishing the shave off with a few small dollops of Nivea Men Replenishing PSB.
My face is feeling super smooth & smelling divine.
Keep safe, and enjoy your Sunday ladies & gentlemen.
