A bit late, this was yesterday's shave, with the Joseph Allen near wedge which was hand forged in Sheffield roughly 1850. It was in John June's personal collection but was something I'd been after so he agreed to sell it to me. Lovely edge on it. The Rubberset 400 was a very generous surprise gift from Dave in KY.

A very nice shave.
The wee scot really does astonish me each time i use it, today i rubbed on the soap-stick so i had a thin coating of soap on the stubble then set about face lathering with this tiny brush, dipping the tips and building the lather, yes, it takes time, however, i was rewarded with a wonderfully thick covering and the brush bursting to capacity with plenty held in reserve. The brush managed to hold enough for 3 full passes, i painted the face at the start of the 2nd pass then tip dipping and building the lather to the right consistency, on the 3rd passes i painted on what was in the bristles then gently squeezed the knot bringing the trapped lather from deep within, this was also painted on then tip, dip and build using the tips only producing enough for the 3rd pass, no waste whatsoever. Brilliant and very satisfactory.
A nice post shave, again the Vintage splash is running very low in this bottle.
Stay safe and enjoy your day all.

Razor - Blackland, Sabre (1.05, Custom, V2)
Blade - Gem
Soap - Antica Barberia, Original Citrus
Brush - Semogue, Badger/Boar
Moisturiser - Nivea
It seems the v2, 1.05, +0.05 on the bar needed a new blade.
The shave was improved but i still think the v1 plate is better.
Another fine soap

Seems as though I may have finally got rid of the problem of my dry facial skin, and I have had a second nice Shave.Actually was a pleasure to Shave without causing the skin to get irritated and sore. Perhaps in a few days I will risk trying some After Shave.
