Greetings,

It's been a while since i last used my SE razors, so i'll be adding all of my vintage SE razors for my SOTD's throughout the week.

A new shave set up to start the weekend...last weekend i had a maiden shave with the RazoRock What The Puck 'Lime Burst' tripled milled soap, i've carried on this weekend with the second of the RazoRock What The Puck 'Orange Sunrise'..The verdict?....As with the previous maiden shave i bloomed the soap in hot tap water for 5 minutes and i was rewarded with incredibly citrusy scented rich, creamy lather with a very good slickness and a wonderful post shave feeling to my face...Superb soap, and another wonderful maiden shave.

My Ever-Ready 1914,as always was and is a pleasure to shave with evertime i use this vintage lady.

The vintage Ever-Ready SE razors don't get the credit they so rightly deserve,paired up with the Gem PTFE blade it mowed through my stubble with smooth sharp efficiency.

A very enjoyable comfortable 3 pass + pickups bbs shave with no errors to report.

Finishing to the shave off with a generous dollop of Wilco ~ Men's Moisturiser.

My face is feeling super smooth & smelling Citrusy devine.

Enjoy the start of the weekend, ladies & gentlemen.

Razor: ATT SE1 / UFO Tornado
Blade: Schick Proline P-30 (5)
Post: Thursday Plantation Tea Tree & Witch Hazel, CRSW Alcohol-Free American Barbershop Moisturising Aftershave

The ADP is one of my firmer croaps, so the backbone of the Tigris was perfect for both loading and lathering.
Top shelf performance - very comfortable three passes for a BBS result.
