Great shave. A little touch up hone last night left the razor's edge in fine trim. 3 passes BBS. Also, the Alum Block and Aqua Velva Combination is fantastic for just a crisp, skin tightening experience. Very nice. And now I ruin a perfect day by getting dressed and going to work.

Razor: Apollo Mikron
Blade: Schick Plus Platinum
Brush: Simfix Grosvenor LE
Pre-Shave: Musgo Real Glyce Lime
Soap: Trumper Violet (Tallow Version)
A/S: Three Crowns Violet aftershave Milk

A less than stellar shave today. The Apollo is a bit different from my other razors and this unfamiliarity led to a bit of razor burn. The Three Crowns ASM calmed things down nicely.

It's amazing looking stuff for shure. The Midnight on your Bengall is spectacular, it really jumps out at you and I like it a lot. Who is the supplier?

Soap: Professor Blightly´s Grapewood

Strops Neil Miller
Result: Very, very clean
Wow, Neil has done a superb restoration of this razor. 200 years old and looks like new . And the scales are out of this world, well done Neil!! A bit unfair to shave with this one after two days with super preminum razors (3 crosses and Gotta 120), but it holds it´s on right. Fidos new brush is a delight to use aswell, I actually kept on painting with the brush after I had enough lather, very soft and nice bristels! The handle is top notch work and hand turned in England this time. It´s a wider handle than on the Cubby 2 and that works better for me. Everything with this shave was A +, pro B:s soft wear was stellar aswell. Even the Derby blade for the head shave, was top notch after some hand stropping.
