    Tonight's shave was with an old Pipe Razor. It delivered a silently smooth 2 pass shave. I do like these old wedges. BBS results, without any issues. Excellent razor.

    Razor- "George Wostenholm & Son, Sole Manufacturers of the , Original & True (Pipe symbol) Razor". True Wedge razor.
    Brush- B 400 By Tom
    Soap- ARKO/Avon Spicy
    Aftershave- Avon Spicy

    You are a braver soul than I. My luck my gear would have been downstream with 30 seconds of placing gear on top of the rock.

    Van Yulay Soap of the Gods - (Hybrid Hercules) Russian Tea
    Ever-Ready 100T | Elite Razor Manchurian
    Ever-Ready SE | Gem PTFE (1)

    [​IMG]

    I've spent some time defending this "Hybrid Hercules" soap base from Van Yulay because those who haven't tried it often write it off as a low quality melt and pour glycerin soap. When in reality, it contains goat milk, clay, kokum, and shea butters (among other skin goodies). Hercules is one of the slickest soaps I own. It loads as easily as a croap despite its being a firm puck, and results in a dense creamy lather. Following the shave, my scalp feels like silk. I'm a bit ashamed to admit that I don't reach for it that often because of its rather bland packaging. I'm surprised by it every time I use it, though.

    Tues 16th May
    RazoRock Plissoft 24mm
    Speick Active
    PAL S/S Adjustable [No2]
    NOS Schick Super Chrome-coated [ 1 ]
    Alum Rub/Rinse off
    Tuff Green A/S Lotion

    Retrialing PAL No2 which has not been used for a while. Found that the Shave was reasonably smooth, I did not get that really close finish that I got from the other Pals. Quite possible down to the NOS blade I used, though have used one in another Razor to great effect.
    Have heard that the performance of the PALs can vary, depending on production runs. Feel that another PAL shave is due to check this out on PAL No3, which I have used quite a lot.
