1 shave, 2 razors, 3 blades
Merkur 38r with Ladas (2nd shave)
Flare Tip Superspeed with Topaz Platinum and Topaz Stainless
Tobs Sandalwood cream
Henk walnut silvertip brush
Professor Blighty's Universal Shaving Balm - cedarwood and clarysage
The Ladas skipped and dragged in the merkur so binned it. The topaz wasn't bad but was blunt during second pass so user another to finish up

Thank you Fiona! Yes, the brush's custom made by our own Le Tuft/Bill aka bejay here on the forum ... so it's possible to get one

Of course, with a real soap you get a real shave!!!
(nothing against the Yardley cream though)

Simple face gel wash
Razor Taylors Witness 1000
Brush Le Tuft Le Une grande
Vulfix Persian Musk
Alum + witch Hazel
TOBS Sandalwood Balm gel
Botanics Moisturiser SPF 15
L'Occitane Cedre L'Atlas eau De Parfum.

Very Nice shave from the Taylors 1000, but the difference from this traditional razor to the Feather straight is like a Golf GTI compared to a fomular 1 car, it's never going to be challenger, you notice it a lot more when you last shaved with the feather, then you next shave is with a traditional straight.

True, I haven't decided yet, but so far I'm not impressed with this Yardley soap, but I'm open for it being a matter of CBTB (Crap Behind The Brush) phenomena too ...

Schick Dial Adjustable Injector
Schick Blade
New Forest 2201 Brush
Palmolive Cream
Clinique Post Shave Soother
There's something comforting about the Palmolive cream. I think that my maternal grandfather used to use it, so the scent is possibly etched somewhere in my subconcious. Fox's Glacier Mints have a similar effect for the same reason.
