Vitos Extra Super Shaving Soap

Cobra Classic
Feather Professional Blade (6)
Wellington Woodcraft Silvertip
Jack Black Supreme Cream
L'Oreal After Shave Balm
Herve Leger Homme
First time using the Jack Black shave cream. Using the face lathering method it made a very nice lather that easily lasted through three passes. The Cobra glided on my face to produce another silk smooth shave. I can't put this razor down.

Prep: Hot shower
Soap/cream: Williams
Razor: Gillette Slim Adjustable I-2 birth year/quarter, (5)
Brush: VDH boar
Blade: Lord Platinum (4)
Cold water rinse
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Old Spice AS
Lathered the Williams using the "Marco Method", and other than being slightly runny, it didn't disappear!
Next time I'll use my Omega 10066 instead, it's really getting good now after being used for about 50 shaves.

Becker scuttle
Homemade frankincense & myrrh preshave oil
Somerset Simpson Case 1 Best brush
Atkinsons shaving soap
Wilkinson Sticky razor
Personna 74 blade (2)
Floris No. 89 aftershave balm
The Case is really smaller than I like a brush to be, but it did a good job on the soap. The Atkinsons, which the guy I bought it from said he bought in 1986 and never used, was surprisingly good, with very good cushion and truly great glide and a pleasant sandalwood type of scent. Overall, on just one use, I would have to rank it right up at the top of my old soaps list alongside Yardley. However, it's also true that the Personna makes nearly any soap seem good.
