Happy birthday Ross, have a nice relaxing day.
What’s better than a good ol’ Cheshire shave on your birthday? The answer: Nothing.

Ever Ready 1912
Ever Ready Corrux stropping blade
Alum
Lacoste Original A/S
Dove Instant Hydration Cream
I used the stropping device from one of my 1914s to strop a NOS ER Corrux blade. It's the first time I've used a stropping blade, and it certainly won't be the last, as it proved to be a far smoother shave than the standard GEM blade.
Speick is another soap I should use more often.

Moss Anniversary Slate scuttle
Rooney WWII Broad Arrow Black Boar (20/46)
Houbigant Fougère Royale shaving soap (vintage)
RazoRock Mamba/Stork Aristocrat 2 Titanium
Personna 74 Tungsten (2)
Houbigant Fougère Royale aftershave (vintage)
This was my first time using a boar brush. I thought it would be stiff and somewhat harsh, but it obviously had been used well and broken in, because the bristles were quite soft on my face. I pre-soaked it in warm water for 5 minutes, after which it loaded the vintage soap slowly but quite heavily. The lather initially was watery, but it thickened up nicely and ended up fluffy and slick. An excellent shave.

Prep: Hot towel
Pre shave: Prep
Razor: Barbaros TR-1
Blade: Gillette Bleue Extra
Brush: 'Papa Chub' (Chubby 3 Manchurian) given the 'Brush Rejuvenator' treatment before use..
Soap: Sir Hare - Drunken Sailor
Post: Cold water rinse / Witch Hazel / Chatillon Lux Santal Auster Post-Shave Salve
Fragrance: PG02 Cozé
firstly, 'Papa Chub' behaved like new after a quick shampoo, bringing the Drunken Sailor to life with ease.. Sir Hare is an extremely underrated soap, that really does deserve a wider audience... having fallen for the GBE, I decided to throw it in the TR-1, and was rewarded with a super smooth shave..... post shave, Santal Auster, and Cozé provided the icing on the cake.. Yeah, CLASSY!!
