I love that decanter!

Thanks. It is an early 20th century crystal and silver perfume decanter that belonged to my grandmother.

Greetings,

New shave set up to start the weekend..Second outing of the recently aquired valet auto Strop vc1, which is pleasure to shave with, it's unbelievable how at ease and how quickly i've taken to this wonderful vintage SE lady, paired together with the modified gem ptfe blade was a smooth efficient duo mowing through my stubble with ease.

However, the Auto Strop VC1 isn't a razor i would recommend to anyone to use who has just started out in traditional wet shaving i would recommend a less non aggressive DE razor the 'Muhle R89' or the 'Merkur 34C' would be my recommended choice to learn your technique, gain essential shaving confidence before shaving with one of these vintage ladies as the shaving angle is different to a modern DE razor which takes a few shaves to adjust to also the gap exposure of the blade's edge looks and can be very intimidating to the eye which could also lead to a blood bath of nicks & irritation to a new inexperienced traditional wet shaver,..Don't be put off by this,once you've adjusted to one of these vintage SE ladies, it's a wonderful pleasurable shaving experience.As always this is just my personal opinion.YMMV.

A comfortable 3 pass + pick ups silky smooth near bbs shave with no errors to report.

Finishing the shave off with a generous dollop of Creightons ~ Sensitive Post Shave Balm.

My face is feeling super smooth and smelling devine.

Enjoy the start of the weekend, ladies & gentlemen.
