Pre • Heno De Pravia
Soap • Pre De Provence No63
Brush • Yaqi Purple Haze Mew Brown
Razor • '59 Gillette Flair Tip
Blade • Wilkinson Sword (Brasil) (2)
Post • Pre De Provence No63 Balm
A quiet home alone Sunday morning shave.
No rush, and all good ingredients made for a very good shave.
This is my second use of this Brazilian Wilkinson Sword Blade - i used it with a Rockwell 6C on Friday evening, but i ran out of time to post my SOTD.
Having used the blade in both a modern and a vintage Razor, I like it.
In the Rockwell it reminded me of Voshkod - to the point and smooth. In the Flair Tip, which I find tends to play down sharpness, it was equally smooth and not overly sharp.
In some SOTD posts, I've seen reports of these blades lasting in excess of 5 shaves. I'll see how it fares on it's next use, and take it from there.
Many thanks to @Mike Smart for sending me the blades
Enjoy the remainder of the weekend everyone.

Pre - Droyt's Classic Glycerose Soap
Brush - Semogue SOC TAJ Boar
Soap - Proraso Wood & Spice
Razor - Schick Hydro-magic 500 J3 1959 - 62
Blade - Personna Injector
Post - Cold water Rinse
Balm - Barts Balm Ben Macdui - Rosemary & Sandalwood
A/S - Avon Siege Cannon " Spicy"
The Proraso W&S, for me, is a great scent, even though i still find it leaves a residue everywhere i may be tempted to buy it again. Today the SOC TAJ whisked up enough for 4 passes easily.
I completed 3 full passes, although i could have got away with 2 and some touch up. This Schick is both mild on the skin but easily efficient enough for me.
A nice post shave routine with a little indication from the splash on the neck.
Stay safe and enjoy your day all.

Alpha Classic G4 28mm
Cyril Salter Solid soap
Asylum Injector
Schick Proline ( 2 )
A second use of this blade, and it was excellent. Yet the same blade in a PAL Injectomatic eas quite poor, probably blunted it when loading into dispenser. As I have a good stache of Prolines I should perhaps save up to get one of my own.
