Been on the shaving forums since September and wet/DE shaving everyday since, but have never posted a shave...
New Year's Day I vowed to post some shaves, so here we go!
Yesterday from Phil @ BlueGoose, I received a sample of his Portman Square English Style Cream, made by a different company than who does his soaps. It's more like a "croap" than a cream, and I tried the Orange Vetiver this morning.
Prep: Hot shower
Soap/cream: Portman Square English Style Cream - Orange Vetiver
Brush: Omega 10066
Razor: Gillette Slim Adjustable I-2 birth year/quarter, (5)
Blade: Lord Platinum (2)
Cold water rinse
Dickinson's Witch Hazel
Superior 70 Bay Rum
Put an almond-size dollop in the lather bowl, an used the 10066 damp, not wet. This croap seems to use less water than the creams I've used, which all seem to be thirsty. The lather also seemed thinner, so next time I'll try a softer brush and face lather it. The scent, to me, is like orange/vanilla cream - I didn't detect any vetiver. Nice scent for spring, would also be nice in the summer in cooler climates.
I did a 3 pass shave - WTG, XTG, and ATG which is my usual. Glide/slip was very good, cushion could be better, but should improve on my next shave when I get a better lather from it by face lathering with a softer brush. I like the slickness it left on my face for touch-ups, probably due to the Shea Butter & Lanolin it contains. Waited a while to post this so I could see if my face didn't agree with it, but so far, so good!

This "historic" TI was my first very nice razor. Back when I had a handful of Dovos, this was my go to guy for a luxurious Saturday shave. It's fallen into disuse as I developed a tasted for hollow grinds - this is 1/4 hollow but feels like a wedge thanks to the thick, square back. Nice to dust off this old friend and find him doing well.
