Friday 14th September 2012 Prep: Shower & Facial scrub with Pears soap Razor: Schick Type I Blade: Personna Stainless Coated Brush: Turkish No. 6 Horse? Soap: Cella Aftershave: Wilkinson Sword Sensitive Balm
Another great shave with the Cella and my 7th and final shave with this blade I am amazed it has lasted this long, I suspect the fact I shave every day and my beard is only normal/medium helps prolong it's life.
Regards Dick.

Saturday 15th Sept 2012 Prep: Shower Razor: GEM Flying Wing Blade: GEM Stainless Coated Soap: Cella and Supermax Cream + Glycerine Brush: Shaving Factory Med. Aftershave: Real Shaving Company Balm
After an entire week shaving with the very lightweight Schick, today's razor seemed very heavy and I had to make an effort to lighten my touch.
I can now; after three days confirm what many of you already know; that Cella is a brilliant performer, the Uberlather didn't really contribute much to the Cella, I suspect because it is already so good.
Regards Dick.

Gem HFT Gem CS Blade (5) Made-Rite 500PB Brush Arko Shave Stick Swan Witch Hazel
I had my final shave with one of the Gem CS "mystery" blades for what will be quite a while. It was a pretty decent shave in keeping with its performance in the "Slim-V" family of razors. I'm going to record my final thoughts concerning this blade in the Blade World section of TOST within a couple of days.

Sunday 16th Sept 2012 Prep: Shower Razor: GEM Flying Wing (Bullet Tip or Bullseye) whatever the true name is. Blade: GEM Stainless Coated Soap: Palmolive Stick Brush: Vulfix 404 Mixed Aftershave: King of Shaves Balm
A really nice shave, Palmolive is a great performer I just wish that the scent was a little nicer, it always reminds me of my long departed grannies house, Palmolive hand soap was always by the kitchen sink, as indeed it was in many homes in the 50's.
Regards Dick

Gem MMCP Gem SS/PFTE Blade (1) Made-Rite 500PB Brush KMF Cool Mint Cream Swan Witch Hazel
What a great feeling to get back to a SS/PFTE blade! That and the Clog Pruf made for an exceptionally comfortable shave this morning.
This is my "signature" shave as mentioned in another thread.
