First shave today with a single-edge:
British Ever-Ready (1912 head)
Gem Blue Star blade
Tweezerman brush
Old Spice shaving soap
Results: OK. Patchy and some burn, which is to be expected IMHO the first few times using these razors. A better quality blade would make a difference, too.
It definitely makes you stop and think about technique and angle. And I do want to get that down with the SE razors. I have a couple of antique Stars that I'd like to use, once I get a feel for this.

Sunday:
Gillette Model #58 & LB Wilkinson blade
Plisson #12 HMW
Trumpers Rose hard shaving soap ( old )
D R Harris's Pink A/S
Penhaligon's English Fern
An unusually fine and bountiful lather this AM, a combination of this brush and soap plus the bit better water in the front bathrooom, I think. In any case, it was excellent. Congratulations on 1000 posts Brett!

Sunday:
Schick Krona/Gillette Platinum

Connaught vetiver shave cream
Dickinson's witch hazel w/lavender EO and glycerin added

Various shave cream samples
Dickinson's witch hazel w/lavender EO and glycerin added

Sunday evening
Hot shower
Aluminum Gillette Tech/ Gillette Platinum
Sephora badger
Proraso shaving cream
Three passes: Wow!!
I bought an Aluminum Handle German Tech from mr. razor and it's the best razor yet for me. Previously, I used a Tech head from the travel version with a Gillette New handle with excellent results. It seems that for me: the lighter, the better.
