    3 full passes tonight and so so close to being an epic shave, spoiled by one momentary lapse of attention and sliced my neck just below the jawline. Minor, but visible. It will leave a lovely line tomorrow. Serves me right for trying too hard for BBS ... pretty much there though :pDefinitely the best overall finish I've had from a straight shave, with maybe a touch more irritation than usual.

    Hello David, it's not new. It is Portuguese cream, marine scent with good performance.

    You can predict what I am going to say about my 1941 ZTV Russian razor. Da Comrades, it was glorious. :happy036: In addition to the sharp and smooth qualities, this blade is one of the most maneuverable I own. It is a pleasure to use. :happy093:

    PS - If anyone can translate what’s on the tang, please let me know.

    Date: 03 April 2018

    Pre-shave:- Cold Water straight from the tap
    Brush:- RazoRock Plissoft Synth. 24/57mm knot
    Soap/Cream:- Arko (3 shave sticks grated into a 150ml plastic tub)
    Razor/Blade:- Merkur 34C / Gillette Nacet #1
    Post-shave:- Thayers Witch Hazel & Tea Tree Oil / Lucky Tiger Aftershave & Face Tonic
    Fragrance:- Hugo Boss (Original)

    I will be using the RazoRock Plissoft Synth brush, Merkur 34C and the Arko shaving soap for a while because the house is going to Auction on Saturday 5th of May so there will be house inspection every Thursday and Saturday because all my shaving gear is put away into my military footlocker.

    WOW..... haven't used Arko tallow soap for a while because I can smell a very strong soapy sour scent of lemon went straight through my sinus.

    Although not my favourite member of the Gem family, the G-Bar gives me a better shave than most of my DEs.
    Talking of favourites, this is my favourite Sandalwood soap and splash combo.
    Great little budget brush which just gets better and better.
    Happy Shaving one and all.

    Good morning friends. Excellent three pass shave this morning with the Schick E2. Marvelous lather from the Van Yulay (Jared) soap. I am smooth and refreshed. Enjoy your day friends. ☺️
