Location: Sydney Australia
Prep: Hot Shower/Hot Towel
Strop: Illinois 835
Uber-Lather: Proraso (white) + Faulding Shave Cream + 5 drops Glycerine
Razor: Custom Gotta 120
Astringent: Dickinson's Witch Hazel
A/S: Nivea Replenishing Post Shave Balm
Result: The blade came through with the goods, gave a beautiful clean shave and the Uber-lather felt my face feeling great.
However I have some issues with the razor itself. The scales are just too heavy for the blade, and combine that with having no jimps or thumb notch, this one is just a PITA to strop. I have a few ideas on how I'll rectify the problems and when I get home in a couple of weeks I'll do some mods.
Enjoy Sunday fellas.
