Muhle R-41 with Chinese Gillette Platinum(day 2). Very smooth shave and minimal burn with Osage Rub.
Gillette Slim Adjustable (H2) / Feather (5)
Gillette Fatboy / German Personna Red (2)
Razor: US Gillette Super Speed (1948)
Blade: Astra Superior Stainless (RUS #1)
A quick shave tonight using tried and true old school software as we were travelling out of West London for the holiday and were pressed for time.
The usual efficient auto-pilot Super Speed shave dealing with 3 days of growth in short order.
Nice!

Razor: Gillette British Aristocrat (1948)
Blade: Nacet (6) Best shave was day 3 and then it went downhill. I can afford to change blades after three BBS shaves.
Brush: SOC "Mistura" 50/50
Soap: Lucky Tiger (not bad and I need to finish it).
Post: Lucky Tiger "Bay Rum"
Gillette NDC Gold Ball End Tech and a Vikings Sword Super Stainless (6).

Gillette no.58 
Wilkinson Sword 
Varesino Tundra Artica
RazoRock Plissoft 
Full weight nickel-plated set from 1955, this #58 shaves every bit as well as any early 4th gen Aristocrat. Very thorough and efficient razors, perhaps a shade less smooth than the 3rd gens, but always a pleasure to use.

Schick E3
Schick Injector blade (1)
Disastrous shave today. Total bloodbath. My first try with the E3, and there's obviously something wrong with it. It hacked up my face with two different blades. I think the spring isn't clamping down the blade on one side, as the cap is lifted on that side.
I had to finish the shave with my RazoRock German 37. Tomorrow might be a day of rest for my face, depending on how the cuts are healing.
