Thanks Robert she does shave well but I could do with doing a bit more work on the toe as its not quite as good as the heal is. Professor Blighty (aka Martin) is a British artisan soap, aftershave and cologne maker who mostly sells on Ebay. The fragrance of this particular line is Japanese Magnolia Blossom, Wild Orchids, Gardenia, Jasmine & Blackberries. I got it from him in a trade for a Ever Ready 1914 SE on another forum before it was on general sale. My only criticism is that it needs a significantly drier brush than any other cream or soap I have so if I forget that at the start I end up with a sloppy lather or have to use loads of product.

[QUOTE=BladeRunner001;814490
Todays's shave was nothing short of PHENOMENAL. Even though I hadn't shaved since Friday, my beard looks like the Amazon jungle...I didn't realize that it was that bad until my own mother reprimanded me for looking like a terrorist (even my wife sided with her...who am I to argue with the bosses?). But she doesn't understand the Heavenly virtues associated with waiting for such a shave. And Rene: You are right, Tom's DE ain't gonna hack it...This is a job for a serious weed whacker and the only one capable of wiping this messy wiry disaster clean is the Maxtom. What's more, I felt like the only way to properly prep this beard would be under the influence of Indian Sandalwood ;To accomplish this, I reached for the Cyril Salter/QED combination...The scent was so intoxicating that if I were to be caught driving with this stuff in my possession, I would be arrested on the spot and charged with DUI . I literally spent a good 10 minutes between making the lather and prepping the beard. By the time I was done, the wiry growth was considerably softer and ready for whacking so to speak. The Maxtom made this job look like a walk in the park...easy as pie (or is it cake?). BBS, super smooth and irritation free in 3 passes.
Have a PHENOMENAL Sunday Gentlemen.[/QUOTE]

LOL! Same here but i really want to see what he did to the edge of the blade.

Firstly, I would like to complement each and every post today! I am always amazed at the dedication and talent the men on this forum possess. The inventiveness and props sometimes used are truly candy for the soul. Thanks!

Late shave today, but no disappointments! Some of you might have seen this old razor on restorations and I have given it a chance to perform this afternoon. Easiest hone job ever on an old Sheffie and left the 1000 in the water! Slightly audible and cut smooth and sure along the entire length of the blade. I now know what it would be like to have one brand new back in the day! I even had the Wifey do an ATG rub up my neck to approve! Sweet! Thanks and everyone have a Safe and Healthy week to come. Tom
