my last time out with the 34C turned out to be a rather subpar affair.. but the HoM soap brought out the best this time around, and delivered an impeccable shave
Phenomenal shave this morning! Easily best of the week and now in the running for best of the month! Returned to Phoenix Shaving and their "Immortal Peach" shave soap and splash. Fantastic scent with incredible lather built with the Brad Sears "Gus" 2-band badger brush for three passes with the '59 Fatboy and I finished up with alum, the matching aftershave lotion, Pecksniff's "Grapefruit and Citron" talc & Acqua di Parma Colonia Essenza EdC.

Weller Shavette is very similar to the Durham
But it fails in the blade clamping department
It just could be the difference in modern vs vintage
But it did well for two passes
Gillette Travel Tech saved the day
