Razor: Blackland Vector
Blade: Feather PB (6)
Post shave: Cold water splash, Shower EO infused Witch Hazel
Balm: Barts Balm Rosemary and Sandalwood Balm & Lotion

A great shave today with the Vector. I fancied a change this week from the CR Salter, whats the first Stirling soap i pick up?, More bloomin' Sandalwood, still it was very nice though, whipped up with the Duke 2 Best, i am enjoying these natural brushes more lately. i basically start the lather off in a little Turkish copper bowl then complete a face lather. It works very well for me.
The Cold water shaving is really doing it for me and my chin is really feeling the benefit, the first go i had last year i did not like it, i now think that was down to my Nemesis SHaDE the "Polsilver SI".
Anyway, BBS, smooth, supple skin and smelling very sporty, saying that, the only sport i have done lately is grow sideburns that 1970's "Gooner" Charlie George would be proud of.


And a hair cut to put Lon Chaney Jr's Wolf-man to shame.


Stay safe and enjoy your day All

Lather Catcher Sunday's Shave


Cold Water Rinse
Col. Conk Amber
Jayaruh #1
Superior Lather Catcher
GEM Blue Star SE
CWR
Aqua Velva 5 in 1 ASB

The Col. Conk Amber face-lathered well with my Jayaruh #1 Badger Brush. I used my 3d printed adapter to jack up the blade and did two passes and touch ups with the Superior Lather Catcher with a GEM Blue Star SE blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Aqua Velva 5 in 1 ASB. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Well I tried having a very UK shave Friday. I got out my Made in England ER 1912 and my British Made Pal Injectomatic. Then I whipped up a fantastic lather with some UK based Wickham 1912 Irish Fern. This is my first use of Wickham and man this stuff smells great and lathers wonderfully. I loaded a 6th use Gem SS PTFE and started the shave with the ER. This is my second time using this razor. I took a few strokes and looked closely at the razor. I had heard the English/British ERs are more aggressive but this one is mild but I LOVE the handle. Anyway I looked closer and saw that the blade wasn't seated right. Readjust take a stroke look close. Not seated tight. Ok what gives well the blade is shifting all over. Grab my US made ER 1912 try things out, works perfect. Hmmmm. As far as I can tell the blade stops are bent up slightly making to much room for the blade to slip to far under them and making enough room for it to not get properly engage by the back clip. So do I adjust the blade stops? Or do I find a way to adjust the back clip push the blade forward further with would make it a more aggressive razor?
Anyways I finished up the rest of the shave with a pound in the US made ER. Results are a fantastic shave.

This would be a great post in the repair thread! I can not really help though. There are several members good at tweaking ( not to be confused with twerking)
