Greetings,


A new shave set up to start the weekend...It's been a while since i last added the OSP Neroli to my shaving soap rotation after a 5 minute bloom in hot water , it provided me with a luxurious slick protective lather for my shave and a superb post shave feeling to my face.

Maiden shave of the Valet Auto Strop VC1 which i bought as a replacement for my previous one, which to total misfortune one of the blade stops broke off when i was carefully cleaning it making it dangerous and beyond use.The new vintage lady has no defects especially the blade stops which are both even with no flaws,as is the overall condition, hopefully this one will last me beyond two outings so i can get aquainted to this wonderful vintage SE razor and get some sublime shaves from her..'All my razors are ladies, that get the upmost care attention, and respect'.

Regardless if the razor is new vintage, loaned, returned to me i soak the 'head only' for 5 minutes in near boiling water to remove any nasties ,then carefully clean it with dettol anti-baterial soap & a toothbrush,and finally rinsed then a gentle polishing with a clean cloth,and few drop of wahl hair clipper oil to the moving parts of the razor,i also sometimes give my razors a quick soak in cold water/barbicide mix, but decided not to with my new Auto Strop as i wasn't sure if it would have a reaction with the coating..Besides the near boiling water & anti-baterial soap will have removed any living germs.

The verdict?..As like my previous VC1 i found my shaving angle after a few seconds and was instantly in charge and at ease with this vintage lady...However,like any other razor i shave with either vintage,modern aggressive or non-aggressive is worthy of no pressure and much respect considering it's blade gap,if not this vintage lady will bite me.

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

Finishing the shave off with a generous dollop of Aloe Vera Gel.

My face is feeling super smooth and smelling old school devine.

Enjoy the start of the weekend, ladies & gentlemen.
