After the usual 1-2 minute hot towel prep:

1964 Macys badger
vintage D. Corrado(Dovo) slant/Iridium
MWF
Lumene AS balm
Penhaligons 'LP#9' cologne

The slant glided without resistance over my two days worth of whiskers. A more comfortable shave than OC types, and I'm left with a closer shave than when I use my go to razor (fatboy). Very nice!

BBS results,

Martin

Razor: Futur
Blade: Super Iridium
Brush: Simpson Colonel X2L
Soap: Cella
A/S: Generic Witch Hazel, Proraso Balm

As the saying goes, "You can always tella Cella fella by his smooth face." Isn't that the way it goes? :lol: Anyway, this morning's shave was superb. I do love Cella and will always have it in my rotation. I wish it had a slightly more pronounced almond scent, but ya can't have everything.

The Proraso balm provided a fine finish.

Very classy, Mustafitch.
I try Ron...I try. I also dig the "F.C." avatar! Wish I had more than the one tube of this cream....sublime aroma. If they had made this in a shaving soap...heavens. They stuck to their four traditional lines for those ,which, was sound thinking ,although, just have to 'nit-pick'.

Schick injector "T" head razor - + Platinum blade (2nd) shave
Simpson Persian Jar 1 in Super grade. Still smelled nice from yesterday.
"Racquets"
Harris's Orig. Milk...just a 'whisper' applied to skin.
Penhaligon's "Esprit de Lavande"...applied with a moderate 'shout'.

Feeling 7up.

Best,
Fitch
