British 1912 Night  Razor: ER 1912 British Made Blade: Treet CS (1) Brush: unknown mini boar Soap: Colgate AS: Tabac Balm then a splash of Lotion I forgot how freaking nice the British is. Gave me an effortless DFS 3 pass no touchup what so ever. The little brush did a great job on the. Colgate. Gave 2 full pass lather. Third pass I only had to pick up some residual lather from the mug. Boars kill the vintage soaps. Tom |

Prep-hot shower Razor-1912 Ever Ready Blade-Stainless from the blade PIF Brush-cheap badger Soap-RazorRock essential oil of Lime Post shave-Witch Hazel Not the best shave, but the blades are much sharper than the CVS blades. I'm beginning to get the hang of the 1912, but it's still notnmy favorite. Only 2 little nicks on my neck, but the blade is one of the few that can get the hairs on my neck. Was a 2 pass shave with bbs on my neck. I'll take that any day of the week! Attachments:

Thur 1st February Vulfix 404 mixed Vitos Super Red Supply SE V1 + Plate 3- V2 Schick Proline [ 2 ] Tuff Red A/S Lotion Now I have the Revised No 3 plate fitted, I am having what I regard as its Second Shave.It really is a different Razor, and without doubt I had a better Shave than yesterday. Smooth& Comfortable I attained with ease a really close all round Shave. As far as quality of finish is concerned I rate it up there with the best I have ever got from a Vintage Injector that uses a single blade. At one time I was considering passing the Supply on, but those thoughts have evaporated.I reckon a V2 may well suit those who hanker after a S/S Razor but find the AC/SEs too large. I shall continue to use this for a few days to assess its qualities as a Daily Shaver. It worked well with the Vitos today, perhaps a Cream next.  |

Brush: Turn'N'Shave tuxedo Cream: Castle Forbes 1445 Razor: Schick J2 Blade: Schick Chicks AS: Speick What do you think of the 1445? I have CF Lavender and it is just a little too lavender for me. Someone once told me that it was a proper British lavender and as a Yank is why it didn't work for me. |

 Friday's ShaveProraso Pre Shave Ingram Oscar11 Synthetic Micromatic Clog Pruf Personna Gem CS Personna Pal CS CWR Thayer's Lemon WH Florida Water I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The Ingram Shaving Cream face-lathered well with the Oscar11 Synthetic brush. I did two passes with the Micromatic Clog Pruf Razor using the Personna Gem and SE blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Lemon WH and then Florida Water AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed... |

My first intention was to buy their lavander. I love it! It is just like lavander in front my mother in low house on island Krk. For me perhaps the best lavander scent I try. I try a sample and it was - mmmm. But when I decide to buy lavander, I read this about 1445 - Expect notes of ferns and grasses supported on a base of lavender, tarragon, lemon and bitter orange, it smells utterly amazing. The scent is rich and complex. I find something green, a touch of lavander, something citrus... I really like it! |

I think Maggard and West Coast Shaving got some of CF stuff!  |
