Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Another late post but, like yesterday, a great shave to start the day. Returned to D.R. Harris and their "Windsor" cream.. Great scent and excellent lather built with the Wild West Brushworks "REM Cycle" ST badger brush for two passes (plus touch-up) with the 70's Gillette Techmatic and I finished with Myrsol "Don Carlos 1972" after shave splash.

Hope you have a great day.

Hello everyone! Hope you had a pleasant evening.

Had a completely different shave planned but changed at the last minute and returned to the vintage Yardley shave soap. This stuff continues to impress! Great lather built with the Semogue SOC premium boar brush for two passes (plus touch-up) with the '56 Gillette Super Speed and I finished with Clubman "Classic Vanilla" after shave lotion and Tom Ford "Beau de Jour" EdP.

Hope you have a great day.

It is hard to reach for anything else, especially when it just seems to last for ever! I think I load my brush for maybe 15 seconds and that is plenty. I have at least 200 shaves on the puck I'm working on.

Yeah, they've got me with a few of their sales too... (more than a few)! Welcome to the forum by the way!

Edges are still holding up I trust? Or are they softening up?

AccuForge (previously called Personna Lab Blue) Blade (1)

Crown King Alt- Eleven Shave Soap

Smooth as silk 3-Pass shave.
I found out about this blade from Razor Emporium on YouTube. AccuForge is the new name for the Personna Lab Blue blades. They're smooth and sharp. I still have a few Personna Hospital Use blades left, but I'm out of the Lab Blue ones, so I purchased a lot of 60 AccuForge ones. I don't know if the Personna Super blades will be renamed AccuForge or not.
The blades are still made at the same place, and they have the same excellence as far as I can tell.
