@sarimento1 thanks for sharing the photos and video, seems you've had an amazing time.
I trust the video wasn't taken anywhere near the time when you used the straight?
ha, not at all, with that heavy sea, all i could do is just lay flat in the bunk!
but used the Feather straight earlier in the week with much calmer water within the open ice...

Damp Cellar horse hair brush, Stirling Iced Pineapple soap, WCS Mariner razor, loaded up with a Rockwell Swedish steel blade, PAA Big Shave East aftershave.
Two aggressive passes, and the result was a fantastic shave, exceptionally close. Indeed, the quality rivals that of a straight razor. The Iced Pineapple didn't produce the volume of lather I'm used to, but holy cow it was slick! I think that was in large part responsible for the great result.

Greetings,
A new shaving set up to start the weekend....
In the past week or so, i've introduced myself to the wonderfully world of SE vintage razors, thanks to a TSR (UK) fellow who generously gifted me a Every Ready 1912 SE razor(USA) Some Gem PTFE coated blades & a assortment of fabulous shaving soap samples..My maiden shave with the 1912 totally amazed me..Anyway i ordered a batch of 20 Gem PTFE blades from ebay, and why i was browsing i came across the Ever-ready 1914 razor, for it's wonderful condition & price i couldn't resist and pressed the buy button..."Another impulsive buying falling down the rabbit-hole moment", Not long after,in the same hour i received a message on my TSR homepage from another member telling me that he was the seller of the 1914 razor i had just bought earlier!,which delighted me even more, because i knew that Paul, like myself respects & takes care of his shaving kit..Adding to that i mentioned to a work mate yesterday about my maiden shave with the 1912, and he told me he had seen a "Made in England "one for sale on the local weekend car boot sale for £4.00 in the box, he'll check to see if it's still for sale today, if so he'll buy it for me..So i maybe getting a english version of the Every-ready 1912 too.
It's also the maiden shave of the OSP Fougere soap sample, & the Omega 49 pro brush which had already been pre-soaked in cold water over night in the fridge, washed,hand-lathered X2,rinsed and pre-soaked for 20 minutes in hot tap water before use..The "piggy Smell" is no longer lingering & the tips are starting to split slowly, but very nicely.
The OSP Fougere soap was outstandingly good, providing me with a wonderful woody/spice fragranced slick protective lather for the shave, leaving a nice post shave feeling to my face.
Recently i've been bowl lathering, with all of my new shaving brushes, and since the introduction of using"glaceau smart bottled water " when mixing my lather has excelled my lathering technique multitude, especially when using the omega 48 &49 pro brushes, the amount of lather that these brushes can create you could paint a fence with it...The glaceau smart bottled water isn't a load of hype, it really has made a significant difference to my lathering results.
The razor is in superb condition and after a quick soaking in boiling water for a few minutes, pairing it up today with the Gem PTFE blade on it's 2nd use it's performance was brilliantly smooth & efficient ,resulting in another sublime 3 pass BBS shave with no errors to report...these Ever-Ready vintage razors are amazing!
Thanks to the two fellow members of TSR (UK), i now can appreciate SE vintage razors..Anyone who is sitting on the fence about buying a vintage SE razor i highly recommend you should buy one.After a short learning period of adjusting to a new shaving angle, and Fitted with a Gem PTFE coated blade,you'll be rewarded with a sublime silky smooth shave. Enough said.
Finishing the shave off with a generous splash & dollop of Boots ~ Freshwood A/S & Balm.
My face is feeling super smooth, & smelling devine.
Enjoy the start of the weekend, ladies & gentlemen.

Easy 3 pass shave earlier with the canned foam. I soak the beard for awhile before applying the lather so the hydration is very close to that achieved with a brush. The razor is English, aluminum, striped handle. Beautiful 3 piece. Seems to work well with any blade. I’m addicted to using the Techs. The blade is in fine shape, it smoothing out, nice and sharp. These Personnas are the equal of the best Russian blades in my opinion... probably the highest quality blade out there. I hope the US blade plant doesn’t close... that would be terrible! All in all, great shave!!
