Razor: GEM G-bar
Razor blade: GEM Personna
Brush: Maseto 24mm Silvertip
Bowl: Little Wren Pottery
Cream: Truefitt and Hill Grafton
Post: Fine Platinum aftershave

A big thank you to Paul AKA Blademonkey for the loan of the razor.
It's an absolute beauty and in stunning condition.

The shave was stunning too, up there with the smoothest and most efficient yet.
I thought the Micromatic Clog Pruf was a brilliant razor. I think the G-Bar is definitely on par with it.

The T&H Grafton is my favourite cream by far. Love everything about it.

It would've been John Peel's 78th Birthday this week. A man who had a major influence on my formative years. God bless him!

First time out with the MMCP that I acquired recently. Fresh GEM ptfe blade and the shave was as smooth and cool as the other side of the pillow. A DFS it was, just missing a couple spots near the jawline and Adam's apple. But efficient and easy to use nonetheless. The shaves will get better I have no doubt. The brush was a new acquisition as well, a Maggard Razors 30mm Tuxedo knot that whipped up a magnificent shave icing from the TSE Tallow based soap. Superb combination of glide, protection and cushion. Only lacking a bit in slickness, but shines everywhere else. This soap is a true sleeper that no one is talking about. Damn shame really. Good stuff. Have a great evening and shaves Gents.....:okay:

Gillette Aristocrat #22, Polsilver

Wickham 1912 Violet
Benjamin's Bay Rum
Comfrey Rubbing Oil Pre/Post
James Bronnley Original EdT

Until recently, I've never really gotten on well with vintage Gillettes, instead preferring a modern Jagger or Merkur but I was more than just pleasantly surprised but this much sought after and oft coveted Aristocrat. A recent acquisition from an excellent seller on the bay and for a sensible price to boot. Truly immaculate condition, so very pretty and, on this showing, a darn good shaver. Marvellous results in marked contrast to my last misadventure with an Ikon X3!
