Last couple of shaves, dug out the GBar.
Such a beautiful razor. Futuristic rather than the brutalist Micromatic..
Razor - GBar
Blade - GEM PTFE SS
Brush - Vie Long horsehair
Soap - Stropp Shoppe Vivace.
The soap is good. It never smelled much when I got it and still doesn't.

Haven’t used them in ages. No idea.

Thanks all!
Yesterday was a sublime one pass quick shave. The GEM Damaskeene is perfect, especially on clearing 5 day growth without hair piling up.
Easy lather from the Art of Shaving lavender cream.

TSA responses were timely and bloody useless and admitting no fault while suggesting nothing has changed by sending me to the same TSA website that I showed the supervisor. Harrumph.
So, to shave (whole face , long story) I made a trip to Boots for the cheap Wilkinson Sword DE they used to have. But they no longer have it, so I bought a clunky Wilkinson Sword Shavette.
Did the job well. Forgot to pack any soap, so borrowed some Gillette foamy stuff, which was surprisingly not bad
Razor - WS Shavette
Blade - Wilkinson sword
