Prep - Woods Of Windsor Cedar Woods soap / Pre-lather / 3 min steam
Razor - Ever Ready 1912 (Shimmed)
Blade - Personna GEM SE Stainless (#3)
Brush - Shavemac Raptor 26/52 DO1 3 Band Bulb
Soap - Razor Master Uula
After - Frozen towel / Cien Ice A/S
Result - Dolphin Smooth

The 1912 can now take its place beside the Clog Pruf. Up until now, no other razor had given me quite as good a result as the Clog Pruf. I put this down to the shim which is a bit of a revelation, giving a result that is unbeatable. I will be interested to see if it makes any difference to blade longevity.
Another reason the shave went so well is this soap. Not only has it got heaps of cushioning and glide but it may have the best post shave feel of them all. Helps that the scent makes me really hungry.
