Soap Stirling Executive Man
Brush Yaqi 24mm Purple Mink
Razor GEM Clog Pruf
Blade GEM PTFE 12th Use
Aftershaves Stirling Witchhazel Bergamot Lavender + Stirling Executive Man Splash
A wonderfully nice soap. Lovely scent and a dense creamy slick lather...top class!
The shave with this razor paired with the well-used blade was acceptable...kinda scrappy, but surprisingly good result. 3passes for a dfs finish without any issues. The blade will be retired. The aftershaves were terrific!

Sunday morning's shave.
GEM Personna SS (5).
Really enjoying this GEM Pushbutton. There's something just right about razors from the 50s (Super speed, tech, fatboy).
Stirling Haverford. Lovely shave. 9/10!

Trimmer: Wahl Groomsman
Razor: Vector with MMOC handle
Razor: WR2 0.95
Blade: Proline (3) Gillette Platinum (1)
Brush: Simpson PJ2
Soap: Stirling Bay Rum
ASL: Layrite No9

After not shaving my face for a year, I trimmed my sideburns with my Vintage 1980's Wahl Groomsman first, used the Vector to reduce and shape, then finished up with my WR2 0.95, leaving the goatee and 'stache unmolested, and my face, naked.

Razor: Focus Dynamic
Blade: Ladas (4)
Brush: Stirling 24mm Synthetic
Soap: Mama Bear’s Vetivert Type
Balm: St. James of London Black Pepper & Lime
Aftershave: Bootleggers Maduro

This razor requires learning new techniques. I had the Ladas half blade so I used it. I’m not sure how well the blades work for me. I’m going to use a blade that I am more experienced with the next time I use this razor. 4 shaves with it so time to go with another razor for a while.

I actually got the idea from @GAW9576 and it's becoming one of my favorite handles.

Am afraid that despite its good looks and clever engineering, this Razor is too mild for me and the finished Shave was disappointing.
