Friday Morning Ever Sharp Exultation

Dug out an old Injector with a fifth use Schick blade.  BANGER shave.  I remember not really liking this razor during my Unmentionable Days and now that I have seen the Light of SE Shaving it was such a pleasure to use this morning.  Little vintage Pure Badger brush served up a beautiful 2 pass lather.

Ever Sharp Schick Razor (Type G?)
Schick P-20 SS Blade (5X)
Abbate Y La Mantia Ishtar Soap
Ever-Ready K40 Pure Badger Vintage Brush
Brut Splash On
Ishtar Aftershave

Sunday Morning Speed Shave

Needed a quick and effective set up today and this fit the bill.  One application of ARKO netted two passes and a face wash.  Blade was already in the Hawk.  Omega synthetic was ready to go with a quick dip.
Smooth and effortless.

Monday Morning Shave Mania

Dialed up a bit more blade exposure for this mornings shave with a fourth use modified Feather AC Light blade and oh my.  What a slight turn on the Empire will accomplish.  Two passes and I was a smooth little boy.  I'm liking this little boar brush a lot.  Needs some work to get softer but she picks up lather well and doesn't hog it.  Overall a very nice shave.

Wilkinson Sword Empire Razor
Feather Pro AC Light Blade (4X) - Modified
Le Pere Lucien Cologne-Fougere Soap
Butterfly Boar Brush
Apex Alchemy Splash Mix
