That was a very enjoyable shave, the HFT is probably to mildest GEM Vintage "Lady" i own, YMMV of course.
The usual excellent, slick, lightly scented lather from the Culmak / Gibbs combo, mixed in the Bideford Pottery bowl by Sue.
I completed 3 passes which have left me super smooth and comfortable.
A nice post shave including a quick rub with the alum block - no indication,
An invigorating cold water splash then a lovely Balm rub and a nice splash of the Vintage 4711.
Stay safe and enjoy your day all

Muhle R89 / RazoRock Super Knurl, Derby Extra, Simpson Trafalgar T3, Barrister & Mann Reserve Fern, Brut EDT



Sticking the Super Knurl on the R89 elevates this wonderful razor. Nice heft & grip for precise handling.
The Derby is smooth & a nice paring in this piece.
B&M lather top notch & kind of smells like Brut though not as close as P&B Right Handed Giant.
Most comfortable BBS in 2 passes I have had in a while. 1st wtg, 2nd xtg/atg mix.

Have a great day & shaves Folks! 👍👊
