Gillette Old type with 7 o'clock Super Platinum (second shave)

Pretty good. This blade worked better in the Old than in my Krona; and there I was singing its praises

Today, a luxurious shave!

Pre Geo F. Trumper Skinfood Sandalwood + Geo F. Trumper Coconut shaving cream + Simpson Duke3 Best + Merkur 37c Slant with Polsilver #2 + Thayers Lavender "alum" + The Real Shaving balm with skinfood

With these excellent ingredients the shave only could be great! I believe that Coconut cream is one of the best you can get in the market, much better than the rest of Trumper range IMHO. The only con, the Polsilver blade... a bit irritating.

Cheers!

It's seems like a long time since i used my DE razors to be honest, the Feather delivered a perfect one pass shave with minor clean up BBS.

Good shave

After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep;

old Marshall Fields two band
'Webly'/Wilkinson Light Brigade (NOS)
IK SS
Malizia Vetyver AS
Malizia Vetyver EdT

Man, this Stahly is by far my favorite fixed head. Perfect amount of bite for me, resulting in an extremely comfortable and very close shave. Of course it helps to have a sharp blade like this old Wilkinson to really bring out the best in this combo. Fifth shave with this Light Brigade and no signs of getting dull.

BBS results,

Martin

Tuesday

Another new Razor for me today. The HD Rocket.
I like the feel of this already, the weight of it feels just right to me.

Prep: Hot Shower
Soap: TOBS Sandalwood
Brush: New Forest Super Badger
Razor: Gillette HD Rocket
Blade: Feather
Balm: Barbershop Natural Bay Rum

I just knew before using this razor that this would be a nice shave, and in this case I was right.

A lovely smooth shave, no nicks or irritation at all

[Mikael]

Prep: Hot shower
Brush: Neep, coffee bean handle
Razor: Globusmen Gold
Cream: Cyril R Salter, INdian Sandalwood
AS: Dr Harris, Sandalwood
Strops: Neil Miller
Result: Very, very clean
Chunky Salter lather, excellent razor and this brush's a champ with cream. Nice shave, indeed!

 

[Dr Rick]

This morning:

Prep: Face wash, Imperial Leather bath soap
Razor: Feather Artist Club RG (wood), Pro blade (14)
Soap: Prof Blighty's peppermint
Brush: New Forest Tubby 2
Aftershave: Prof Blighty's Yellow Ginger
Scent: forgot to apply!
Result: mmmm

Minor blood spot in the lather at what used to be the usual place - first blood drawn in ages, actually - but requiring no styptic. When the first drop of water goes onto the soap, there's a wonderful explosion of fragrance, it lathers easily and beautifully, and it and the aftershave left my skin feeling great. Blighty's stuff is first rate, IMO, and I'll be buying others.

TUESDAY EVENING

Gillette 'Black Beauty' set to 5 (birth year razor)

Very smooth shave. Surprising given that these blades normally only do 2 before being binned.
