Hmmm - not the usual stunning shave from the Vector with a Proline, maybe it was slightly damaged when I swapped the blade from the pass-around Horizon to my Vector. The unbleached boar in the A26 is different from that in my A28 (more comparisons to come) and I’ll be using this for at least a week to see how it changes during break-in. @Johnny Bravo how long do you think your A26 Copper took to break-in?

About two weeks, but I did leave it to soak whilst I showered. It's a cracking brush now and is now my 3rd most used brush.

Greetings,

Sunday morning shave,

The Scottish Fine Shaving Soap never fails to provide me with a excellent slick protective lather for the shave leaving a wonderful post shave feel.

An enjoyable 2 pass + pick ups close comfortable shave with no errors to report. The Indian GWS & Gillette Winner platinum blades have been smooth and efficient through the month and this morning was no exception. A great shave to finish the month off on a high.

In my July focus I'll be using my vintage & modern Gillette DE razors paired together with the Egyptian made Lord Asco Super Stainless, Silver Star Super Stainless, & Shark Super Stainless for my face shaves, and continue to use the Gillette Guard Cartridge razor for my head and dome shaves.

Finishing the shave off with a generous splash of Brut Attraction Totale ASL.

My face is feeling smooth, & smelling divine.😉

Keep safe, and enjoy your Sunday ladies & gentlemen.😎
