A really good, slick lather mixed in the Brass bowl with the Gibbs - Vulfix combo easily enough for the shave.
The first couple of strokes with the newish blade in the USA 1912 felt a bit rough, it did improve a little during the shave, so hopefully this will continue. I ended up completing 2 passes with touch-up here and there. The final rinse off gave me some indication of how close this shave had been so a very rare rub of alum was required.
A nice post shave routine finishing with a good splash of Floïd SE which did not give a lot of indication although there are a couple of areas where it did fire up.
I will use the rubber band on the blade the next time to change the blade angle.
Stay safe and enjoy your day all.
