I wonder which one I have then? Just looked at pictures in pamphlet and guessed.

I think that case is supposed to have a 1914 in it.

First shave with the Pearl Flexi v5 which I picked up from the sorting office today.
Loaded the vintage Polsilver for its second shave and did half a pass on each blade exposure setting.
The razor has quite a heft. It feels well balanced in weight and the knurling is grippy with wet hands.
The fit, build and finish of the razor seems good and the stand is good; I like that the razor stands upright, saving space.

Still sticking with the Londinium but I will probably try something else tomorrow; the only reason would be variety. It may be another Signature soap I have: Leodis!

I'm not convinced by the aftershave. It isn't very strong and the smell isn't very distinct. I will continue to use it but wouldn't purchase it again.

Rating: 4 / 5

Been super-busy with work, upping my marathon training and general other stuff that MrsD needs sorting, so I've been a bit remiss on my SoTD stuff.

Have had some decent shaves though. All with what I would say is my favourite of all of my razors, the flat-bottomed made in England, Tech Set #27, . I loaded it with one of the Bolzano blades on Saturday and have had enjoyable shaves since. Mostly 2 pass plus pick-ups, but I used the Britannia soap and did 3 passes, just because I was enjoying the shave so much.

Today though, I saw the MWF when looking for my Tabac stick and thought I've not given it much love since Fat February, so out it came! 2 passes, sorted.

@Duffers782 ,does the Barber Blue smell like Floid Blue (if you're familiar with that?) or Epsilon Blue Mediterranean which is a homage to Floid Blue?
